[E Street Brat]

This is one of the few drinks my wife likes, but when we go out it's hit and miss.

She likes a sweeter taste then most places make. It's also kind of a summer drink, so with the thermometer starting

to rise I figured I would ask my fellow FBG's for some help.

Anybody here make a mean Sangria?

My wife loves sangria. I make a cheapo version that starts with a big jug of sangria wine. Pour out enough to make room for the rest of the ingredients. Then dump some pineapple chunks right into the mouth of the jug. Chop some apples into 3/4 inch cubes, and slide them in. Really any kind of sangria fruit would work. Pour a small can of pineapple juice into the opening, and shake it up. Let it sit in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

It's not a fancy recipe, but you can make it quickly using ingredients you can almost always find at a liquor store and the pineapple juice gives it the sweetness that you're looking for.

The best Sangria in DC is at Jose Andres' great tapas restaurant, Jaleo.

I found the recipes for the red and white sangria online a few years ago and have it tucked away in my cookbooks. The recipes work in bulk, however, so I'll add my scaled down recipe in italics after each item.

Here goes:

Jaleo Sangria

9 ltrs red wine (scaled down 2 bottles or 1.5 liters)

24 oz orange juice 4 oz

32 oz 7up 6 oz

8 oz Rose's Lime Juice 1.5 oz

24 oz sugar 4 oz

8 oz vodka 1.5 oz

8 oz brandy 1.5 oz

2 cinnamon sticks 1/3 stick or so

diced pears and granny smith apples

Mix all items together except fruit. Sangria can be stored up to two weeks in a cooler. Add fruit one hour before service.

Yield: Five Gallons Two liters or so scaled down

The white sangria is a smaller recipe and needs no scaling down. I probably drink this more than the red sangria if I go to Jaleo.

Cava Sangria

1/4 c white grape juice

2 TBS Licor 43 or Tuaca

2 TBS Brandy

1 TBS sugar

1 bottle (750 ml) Cava (Spanish sparkling white wine, like champagne)

1/2 c sliced strawberries

12 mint leaves, fresh

Ice Cubes

Mix first 4 ingredients in pitcher until sugar dissolves. Mix in Cava, berries, and mint (I actually add the mint and sugar first and muddle a bit, but that's not the recipe). Fill glasses with ice and pour sangria over the ice.

This looks fantastic. I'm going to make a huge batch of this for my annual Memorial Day pool opening party.Normally I just mix Red Wine, Brandy and fruit

i make a simple syrup with the fruit. this is my basic red, but i use different fruit based on the flavor profile of the wines i use...

1 lime
1 lemon
1 orange
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 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 dissolves....

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.....

example of other variations:

used riesling and champagne as the wine.... stone fruit simple syrup

sauv blanc... stay citrus. throw in some blood orange

syrah, malbec.... blueberry

granache... raspberry, strawberry

etc
