Felix Solis Peñasol Sangria, 1L

Product Information

Make a simple syrup. I like to use a 1:1 ratio of water to granulated sugar by volume. Let it cool while you prepare the rest of the sangria.

Leftovers: I recommend keeping sangria no more than two days in the fridge. By that point, the fruit is past its prime. Expert Tips Pour the wine into a big pitcher or pot and add the citrus juice and rinds. Add simple syrup to taste. My authentic Spanish sangria recipe is the best and easiest sangria recipe that exists. Make sangria the Spanish way with my tips! Red Wine: Use a good quality, young and fruity table wine; something you would drink on its own, but not one that is complex or expensive. Avoid poor quality wines and ones with an oak flavor. As we explored above, sangria can have varying levels of alcohol and sweetness, as you adjust the recipe. This allows the drink to offer a range of flavor profiles, adjusted to your specific preferences. The one through line that can be found in all sangria, though, is the presence of the fruit, which always adds fresh flavors and an increased complexity to the beverage. 8. How to serve sangria.

The story of sangria started over 2,000 years ago when the Romans inhabited the Iberian Peninsula and made their own wine. At this time, water wasn't always safe to drink, so it was common practice to add some alcohol to kill off the bacteria. This practice eventually gave rise to the first sangrias, which were likely a mix of wine, water, herbs, and spices—anything they had to make the water taste better!
