White Basil Berry Sangria
A few notes:
For this recipe, you can use the white wine of your choice. It has some great flavors added, so I generally go for the cheapest bottle I can find.
You can use white grape juice or apple juice in place of the sparkling cider, but it's always nice to have a bit of fizz.
Any variety of apple will do, but gala apples, or even pears, go very well in this recipe.
Smash the grapes over the pitcher with your fingers so any juices will be added to the sangria.
I use two of ounces brandy for a lighter version, but you can double the amount for something stronger. Try adding an ounce at a time until desired strength is reached. If you don't have brandy on hand, rum is equally as good.

I saved some red wine that didn't taste good.My hubby and I are drinkers, and so we add brandy or rum to up the alcohol content. Add some if you'd like! Adjust the amount of honey to taste. The soaked fruits become rather bitter, so they're probably not good to eat. Recipe by Puriman. -

Authentic Sangria with Red Wine Authentic Sangria with Red Wine
I wanted to make sangria with additive-free wine and organic fruits.Banana makes sangria cloudy, but also very tasty. If you'd like your sangria to stay transparent, omit it (I tried to wrap banana with parchment paper this time as an experiment). Add mango or papaya (these tend to be a bit expensive, so frozen ones are okay) for a tropical flair. A simple Cabernet Sauvignon would be ideal for this. Basically, though, you can use any kind of wine because you add lots of fruits anyway. Whenever you open a new bottle and you don't like it, try making it into a sangria. Recipe by Hanamaruranchi -

Easy and Authentic Sangria Easy and Authentic Sangria
This fruit sangria I had at a certain restaurant was really good, so I asked how to make it.It's surprisingly easy to make, yet very delicious. It can cost you around 700 yen per drink at a restaurant. I feel as if I got a great deal.Cheap wine makes this sangria delicious with its light taste.Squeeze out the liquid when removing the soaked fruit pieces.If you don't have any concern for pesticides, soak the citrus fruit without peeling since they will give more fragrance to the sangria.
