Sangria Recipe

One of the best parts about sangria is that you don't need a great wine. In fact, a good wine will only compete with the flavors of the fruits. So, use up any subpar wine for this fabulous drink.

Notes

You can also use other fruits. But the rule is to use at least 1 citrus and 1 non-citrus fruit. Sangria can be made with white wine and rosé as well. The recipe will be the same.
