If you’re ready to make the best Sangria to please a crowd, here’s a primer on how to do it. Always begin with an incredible red wine from Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits, such as the Antinori Toscana Red.
Why Sangria?
Sangria offers a lusciousness combined with refreshment that speaks to the heart and the appetite. A quality Sangria recipe offers fruitiness, sweetness, richness, smoothness, refreshment, dryness, and alcohol. We present this recipe as one option for making just such a drink.
As you consider recipes and wines, remember that every sangria will need fruit, orange juice, a sweetener, a spirit, a full-flavored dry red wine, and a source for chilling.
