When it comes to powerful punches, sangria—which takes its name from the Spanish word for "blood"—packs a truly wicked wallop. But don’t take our word for it; mix up a batch and let the fiesta begin.
You Will Need
- A large pitcher
- A bottle of red wine, preferably Rioja
- 2 tbsp. sugar
- 3 orange wheels
- 3 lime wheels
- 3 lemon wheels
- 2 oz. fresh lemon juice
- 6 oz. brandy or vodka
- 3 oz. triple sec
- A wooden spoon
- Some ice
- A measuring jigger
- And a red wine glass
- Peach nectar
- Pineapple juice, or white grape juice
- And some club soda
Step 1: Drop in fruit
Drop three lime wheels into the bottom of the pitcher. Add three orange wheels, and three lemon wheels.
Step 2: Add lemon juice & sugar
Add two ounces of lemon juice and add two tablespoons of sugar.
Step 3: Muddle ingredients
Muddle the ingredients using the wooden spoon.
Step 4: Add wine, brandy & triple sec
Pour in the bottle of red wine, add six ounces of brandy, and finally add three ounces of triple sec.
For a fruitier version, add peach nectar, pineapple juice, or white grape juice.
Step 5: Add ice
Add ice cubes if you are serving your batch right away.
For the tastiest results, refrigerate the pitcher overnight and add the ice just before serving.
Step 6: Pour & serve
Pour into a large red wine glasses to serve.
For a little fizz, add a splash of cold club soda to each glass before pouring in the sangria.
Spain is the 3rd largest producer of wine in the world. Italy is 2nd and France, but of course, is the first.

This was pretty helpful but it not give complete info about how much 'juice' to use. Juice was an option referenced in the video but it lacked the details.
