Sir Loins of Beef Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 I always throw brandy in there for a little kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bier Meister Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 that one is close to mine. difference is that i make a simple syrup with the fruit..... 1 lemon 1 orange 1/2 cup sugar 1/2 cup water 1 bottle of wine 1-2 cups clubs soda or sprite 2 tbs of brandy.... i use a blackberry brandy cut fruit into 1/4 inch slices. place the ends in a sauce pot. set aside other slices. add water and sugar to sauce pot. bring to boil. stir until it disolves.... remove from heat and cool. squeeze juice from ends back into the pot and discard ends. in a pitcher add fruit slices, wine, syrup, club soda, brandy...serve over ice..... this is my basic recipe, but i play with it often.... will go with berries, or do a white wine sangria and add lime, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 The one I had at a tapas restaurant I swore had gin in there also. If not gin, then something other than brandy. All I know is after 2 scotches and 2-3 glasses of their sangria I was ready for bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Los Gigantes Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 best sangria i've had: Tropical Chime Sangria franzia chillable red boxed wine (would never drink as is, but cheap and sweet and works great for this) add unsweetened key lime juice and unsweetened black cherry juice. Serve in large glasses over diced pinapple, kiwi, mango and lychees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm making some tonight Red wine Brandy sugar triple sec OJ assorted fruit seltzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm making some tonight Red wine Brandy sugar triple sec OJ assorted fruit seltzer Try leaving out or greatly reducing the sugar. Just the OJ alone will make it sweeter anyway and you'll be surprised how much more refreshing it is when it's a bit drier. Also cuts down on the pounding headache the next day.

Cameltosis Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm not much into Sangria, but the wife makes a white sangria in the summer that people go nuts over. I will see if I can track down the recipe and post it. I am pretty sure she got it off the Food Network. It was a show with 2 guys that I am pretty sure live together. NTTAWWT.

detlef Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 OK. I will . Thanks You can always add more. And don't taste for sugar right away. Let the fruit break down a bit before you do, 'cause they're going to make it sweeter as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the fruit break down a bit before you do, 'cause they're going to make it sweeter as well. This is spot on. I tasted for sugar at first . didnt add sugar and let the fruit sit and now it is sweet. I had to abort mission on the first batch I made. I went very heavy handed on the brandy and ruined the batch. I went to the liquor store and the guy suggested this 8 dollar venuzuelan wine for sangria. Got it. Went light on the brandy and slightly heavier on the OJ and triple sec. Loaded it with fruit and let it sit in the fridge for an hour. It is delicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 I have been making sangria a lot. There are times I make it at the club I work at and a lot at home when we entertain etc. I have been watching some of the older bartenders at work and through trial and error have added some things that really make for a great red sangria. The main guy I have been learning from is this Philipino bartender that has been tending bar for 35 years. This is how I have been making it at home now. I use the Carlo Rossi Paisano wine Fruits- Green apples, Peaches , Rasberries , Blackberries, strawberries Red Wine Triple Sec OJ Brandy Amaretto Sloe Gin Seltzer The amaretto and sloe gin made it a more bold and less citrus type of taste. It has been getting good reviews. Just a FYI in case anyone wanted to try a batch . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a FYI in case anyone wanted to try a batch . that's where i divide the fruit up...... i'll use the apple, peaches, pears in a white sangria (and use a calvados and pino grigio in the mix for apples; use a riesling for the peaches). i like blackberry brandy for the red sangria with berries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
