Big Time Sangria Recipes

SANGRIA

Steps:

• Place the fruit in a large vat. Pour in the red wine, white wine, citrus rum and citrus vodka. Next, to add a subtle sweetness, dissolve the sugar in 1 cup water and add it to the mix. Stir well, then cover and refrigerate for several hours, giving the fruit and liquids time to meld. Serve in glasses over ice, and have tongs nearby so guests can help themselves to the fruit.
• Designated drivers are recommended!

BIG TIME SANGRIA

Steps:

• Mix the rose, Sauvignon Blanc, strawberries, rum, vodka, grapes, sugar, lemons, limes, oranges and 1 cup water in a large container. Chill for 12 hours minimum.
• Pour in the sparkling water just before serving.

FROZEN SANGRIA

Steps:

• The day before, add the blueberries, raspberries, orange juice, 1 cup of the wine, 1 cup of the strawberries and 1/4 cup of the rum to a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours to marinate. Transfer the remaining 1 1/2 cups strawberries to a freezer-safe storage bag and place in the freezer for 24 hours.
• Reserve 1/2 cup of the mixed berries for garnish. Add the remaining mixed berries and all the liquid to a blender, top with the sugar, 4 cups ice, the frozen strawberries and remaining wine and rum and blend until smooth (or do in batches if necessary). Serve immediately with a spoonful of the reserved boozy fruit and a sprig of mint.

BIG BATCH BERRY SANGRIA

• Mix wine, sodas, simple syrup, orange juice, and brandy together in a large pitcher. Drop in orange slices and some of the frozen berries. Place in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
• Pour into glasses and drop in remaining frozen berries instead of ice. Garnish with strawberries.
