Sangria
According to the Dictionary of the Spanish Language (22nd edition, 2001), sangria is defined as: A refreshing drink made with water and wine, sugar, lemon, or other additions.
Sangria is a summer classic in Spain and Portugal, and it's also popular around the world. A well-chilled sangria is especially appealing to many people.
You just need to let the fruit soak for at least 4 hours. If you need to prepare the sangria further in advance, it's best to keep it in the refrigerator so the fruit doesn't start to ferment. In fact, it's even tastier if made a day ahead.
It's very important to use a wine you would enjoy drinking on its own, such as a young or fruity red wine made from Garnacha or Tempranillo grapes. Some people also prefer sangria made with a slightly sweet wine.
The fruit should be perfectly ripe. Add the ice just before serving, and keep the sangria chilled until then.

- 1
In a saucepan, heat the water with the sugar until the sugar dissolves to make a light syrup. This will take about 2 minutes.
- 2
In a large container, combine the wine, the syrup, and the juice from 3 oranges and 4 lemons.
Stir with a wooden spoon.
- 3
Peel and cut the peaches into pieces, then add them to the container.
Slice the reserved lemon and orange into rounds, then cut into half-moons. Add these to the mixture, or you can add them to the serving pitcher just before serving.
- 4
Add the cinnamon sticks and let the mixture sit for at least 4 hours so the wine absorbs all the fruit flavors and aromas.
- 5
After soaking, use a ladle to pour the sangria and fruit pieces into a pitcher. Add ice to taste about 10 minutes before serving.
You can also make ice cubes with a mix of lemon and orange juice, water, and a couple of tablespoons of the light syrup. This way, you chill the sangria without watering it down too much.
- 6
Optionally, when the sangria is in the pitcher, you can add a splash of muscat wine, club soda, sparkling water, or even more lemon or orange juice.
And of course, once the sangria is finished, you can enjoy eating the fruit.
