The Secret Formula for Perfect Sangria
Sometimes it's too hot to drink red wine, and sometimes you don't feel like making cocktails.Sangria is the answer. And here's the only formula for sangria you'll ever need.A 750-milliliter bottle of fairly light, very dry red wine works best. Give Spanish wines from Rioja a try.Add a cup of fresh-squeezed orange juice and 3/4 cup of good-quality orange liqueur.Taste it. If it's about right, move along to the fruit. If you prefer it sweeter, you can add simple syrup.Now add large pieces of whatever fresh fruit you like (apples, pears, peaches, oranges, lemons).Also add plenty of small, chopped pieces so each glass has some of those wine-infused bites. .Chill the sangria well, then serve over ice. Salud!
