Best Ever Spanish Sangria Recipes

TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• Optional: If you want to use sugar to make a sweeter sangria, dissolve two tablespoons of brown sugar in two tablespoons of water over low heat to create a syrup. Afterward, let it cool.
• Juice 1.5 oranges so that you have around 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
• Chop the remaining half orange and half an apple into small pieces.
• Stir together one bottle of dry red wine, the fresh orange juice, optional syrup, brandy or vermouth (optional), and the orange and apple pieces.
• Add ice cubes (and optional a carbonated beverage) just before serving.
• Enjoy your homemade sangria!
