Tips for Delicious Sangria
1. Use Fresh Ingredients: When making sangria, it is important to use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Freshly squeezed citrus juices and sliced fruits will give your sangria a brighter and fresher taste.
2. Choose the Right Wine: The key to this recipe is finding a sweet red wine that works for your taste buds. Sweet red wines are not our thing when we are selecting wines. We found our favorite sweet red wine for this recipe when we toured the San Sebastian Winery in St. Augustine, Florida. During the tour, it was suggested that their San Sebastian Vintner's Red would be tasty in sangria. We weren't fond of it as a stand-alone wine but did find it to be perfect in this sangria.
You'll want to find a similar wine that is both robust and sweet so that you won't need to add additional sugar to the sangria. Ask for suggestions at your local wine store. I suggest Zinfandel, Merlot, or Malbec.
3. Let It Chill: Sangria tastes best when it has had time to chill in the refrigerator. It is best to make the sangria at least a few hours in advance and let it chill before serving.
4. Add Plenty of Fruit: Fruit is important in a sangria, so don't skimp on the fruit. We love adding apples, pears, and grapes to this sangria. Lemon and lime add a little citrus tang. Orange juice and slices of orange add sweetness.
You'll find that the apples and pears absorb the wine and rum when you make your sangria in advance and let it sit. The fruit is a yummy bonus treat to munch from the sangria glass.
5. Add Spiced Rum: We always use spiced rum in our sangria. You can use a white rum if you prefer but we think the spiced rum adds a little extra flavor that makes this sangria special.
6. Use Festive Glassware: You'll want to be sure you have a pretty glass pitcher for mixing your sangria. A clear pitcher is perfect so you can see the pretty fruit floating in the sangria. These wine glasses are fun, too! Everyone loves the fruit!
7. Have Seltzer or lemon-lime soda on hand for guests who may want to add a splash to their glass of sangria.
