This is a great recipe, it is virtually the same as the one given to us about ten years ago by a friend living in Tenerife and which we have used every summer since. It looks better the way you do it, though. -
It was a wonderful recipe, I did make some alterations however. I made 3 trays of Sierra mist ice cubes with frozen raspberries in them. So I had these deep red ice cubes in the Sangria. I also allowed the orange slices to marinate in with the rest of the raspberries. I added all of them together and made enough for 45 people and it went! -
This is terrific. We used our homemade wine to make this and it was awesome - will be doing this for Thanksgiving Eve as well. -
I was looking for a way to use up an open bottle of wine. I didn't have any brandy, but made it exactly as instructed apart from that, oh, but I didn't add any sugar. It was delicious! So as to not lose it's fizz, I served the soda apart from the concoction in the same glass. I will make this again.

Hands down the single greatest Sangria recipe known to man. If you attempt to make any else you are a silly poo poo head.

Here is a tweak I learned from a British ex-pat living and running a pub in the Costa Del Sol. Mix the wine, liqueurs, sugar, and sliced fruit together in a large jug. Cover and let it ferment on the counter overnight or even for a day or two. Strain the old fruit, add fresh sliced fruit and the soda and juices. Adds a mellow kick. For a different twist, use sliced apples and an apple-based liquor, Also good with peaches and peach schnapps

I didn't have all of the ingrediants but I was able to make some great substitutions. I used gingerale for the 7up, Woodford reserve for brandy, and amaretto liquor for the grenadine and orange liquor. -
This recipe is the perfect sangria and can be easily adapted to whatever is in your fridge. I used pineapple juice instead of orange juice and vodka instead of brandy and it still came out perfect. -
Added 1/2 cup + 2 tbps of Grand Mariner
