CLASSIC SPANISH SANGRIA
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too.

TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE
Steps:
- Optional: If you want to use sugar to make a sweeter sangria, dissolve two tablespoons of brown sugar in two tablespoons of water over low heat to create a syrup. Afterward, let it cool.
- Juice 1.5 oranges so that you have around 3/4 cup of fresh orange juice.
- Chop the remaining half orange and half an apple into small pieces.
- Stir together one bottle of dry red wine, the fresh orange juice, optional syrup, brandy or vermouth (optional), and the orange and apple pieces.
- Add ice cubes (and optional a carbonated beverage) just before serving.
- Enjoy your homemade sangria!

AUTHENTIC SPANISH SANGRIA
I'm sick of getting american sangria that's just wine and grape juice. After two years in Madrid and literally hundreds of bars surveyed throughout the country (in the name of cuisine of course) this is the receta that i've come up with. Since they don't sell caserra in the US i've got a good substitute. mucha mierda Note: These measurements are VERY general. I always make it to taste and I'd advise you to do the same.

Steps:
- Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.
- Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.
- Add Liquors and stir.
- Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.
- Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.
- Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.
- Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
- For another great (and much simpler) spanish drink check out my recipe for Tinto de Verano.
