Sangria anyone?

I have not made sangria in for ever, and having a white version I though it would be cool, after all Moscato wine is my favorite wine in the world and having a sangria version to include it would be just perfect.

For those people that are not familiar with this type of wine, let me worn you that it is on the sweet side. For me is just perfect because I have a very sweet tooth and when drinking alcohol I just pretty much have to camouflage the alcohol taste in drinks. Going sweet is the way in which I could do this so this wine is just perfect for me. You can do this with a dry wine as well but I don’t know how it would taste though.

If you want instead of using just juices you can also opt for adding some orange liquor as well. I think that would give it more of a punch. I actually did not try it this way but I am sure it couldn’t hurt! Also, quantities are to taste so you may add more or less of the juices and seltzer lemon water to the sangria.

The nice weather is just barely starting, so be sure to find more cocktail recipes to come to blog soon.

Stay safe and enjoy!

You can make this sangria with a dry white wine instead of the sweet Moscato kind. I don’t know how it would taste with it but I am sure not bad at all! Also make sure that all of the ingredients and nice and chilled before mixing.

OK so I am from Spain right? I think it is time that I post Sangria as my repertoire for recipes. From time to time I will be posting some typical drinks and foods most popular in Spain.

This drink it is really easy to put together though it has to be served really chilled or with ice if you prefer although not suggested, just chilled from the fridge is good ;-) You can also make it as sweet or as strong as you wish. There are a lot of variations out there although for me this is the one that I like best. You can also make it with sparkling lemonade for a faster version 1 part of red wine and 3 parts of lemonade, although this one its not as good.

If you have been to Spain you may have learn to find out that we also have another drink called CALIMOCHO which is red wine and coca cola. With Calimocho you can also make it as you wish, as strong or as weak as you want. I have Calimocho every day :-) I put about 1/2 cup red wine and 1 1/2 cup of diet coca cola. Anyhow enjoy the Sangria if you go ahead and make it.
