I'm looking for a solid recipie for homemade sangria. Any takers?

I used this one last summer.....made one batch with red wine and one batch with white.....it was GOOD!

INGREDIENTS:

1 Bottle of your favorite white wine (This recipe is just as delicious with a good red wine, if you so choose)
1 Lemon cut into wedges
1 Orange cut into wedges
1 Lime cut into wedges
1 Peach cut into wedges
1 Cup sliced strawberries
1/2 Cup lemonade or limeade
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 shots of apricot, peach or "berry" flavored brandy (I used Peach Schnapps)
2 Cups ginger ale (I used Sprite)
Optional: one can of diced pineapple pieces with juice
Pour wine in the pitcher and squeeze the juice wedges from the lemon, orange and lime into the wine. Toss in the fruit wedges (leaving out seeds if possible) and add sliced peaches, strawberries limeade/lemonade, sugar and brandy.
Chill overnight
Add ginger ale just before serving

I thought Sangria was a liquid??

I've never made it, but my fiancee likes her's frozen. In Vegas there is a bar that sells Sangria Margaritas. Those were half bad because they weren't as sweet as regular sangrias.

Thought I would update and let you know how things went.

I chose a gallon (or three liters...whatever the big glass jug is with a handle of red wine. It was the cheap stuff--came from New York.

A bottle (375 mL) of cheap brandy. Didn't go for the fifth.

7 Oranges

5 lemons.

1/2 cup of sugar.

We thinly sliced the fruit, mixed everything together, and let sit for 24 hours in the fridge (okay, we snuck two or three glasses before it was done soaking). I must say, it was almost perfect. I would change something up next time, just to try something new (perhaps a fifth of brandy, or maybe some different fruit), but it definitely did the trick!

Thanks for the help everybody!

I second what rum.man recommends. Everyone I've asked about their recipe has told me that the wine must be red and you absolutely do NOT include any carbonated beverage like Sprite, club soda, etc.

But hey, it's a big world...

Sangria

8 Cups of red wine = Use the wine in a box that is already Sangria
1 1/3 cup Orange Juice
1/2 cup lime juice
12 oz Pinneapple schnapps
8 oz Tropical schnapps
1 cup of sugar
½ jar of Tropical Mixed fruit
½ of the syrup from the jar


Trust me on this one

That sounds GOOD and much easier than slicing/chopping a lot of fruit!

I did this recipe for my wife's surprise birthday party this weekend. It got very high marks and several requests for the recipe. Used red wine, peach brandy, lemonade and ginger ale. I left out the strawberries.

I leave Out the Sugar.. Cut up Lemons. Limes, and Oranges..

I pour out some of the sangria from the jug shove it in
Then Pour about a cup of Brandy and about a half a cup of Everclear in the bottle as well. Then Let it sit in the frige for 3-4 days Before consuming.. Never had any leftovers.
