Hooray, an excuse to make Sangria — friends coming over for some early-afternoon eatin’ on Thanksgivin’!

Wow, I love that picture you took! By the way, make sure people know I doubled the recipe shown below.

    SERIOUSLY unfair to post this delicious-looking sangria when I CAN’T HAVE ANY!!!

    Ask Lisa to tell you how well painting a bedroom works when you’ve had a pitcher of sangria and it’s 2am. 😉

    Hi Bob —

    Any light or medium-bodied red wine would be fine, a Rioja would be ideal… don’t feel like you have to buy an expensive bottle!

    Sangria is very popular in Portugal and Spain.

    The way I do it, I use the cheapest red wine avaible at the supermarket, fruit (orange) and a little Soda.

    There are white wine, beer and champagne variations, but red wine sangria is great.

    Some lessons I can share:
    never add bananas
    always serve fresh
    whiskey is fine, but very very little (less then a finger)

    Drink with friends and
    have fun 🙂

    This Sangria was a big hit at my birthday party, that I had to make extra batches, so people could take it home!
