This looks great ! What type / Variety of Red Wine do you recommend - does it need to be a better quality or just a Generic red table wine. Thanks
Hi Steve, that’s a great question! For this particular sangria recipe, I recommend using a merlot or syrah. I also like to use a Spanish Rioja wine, too!
Thank you. The Spanish Red looks interesting. I will be doing this soon.
I made the Grapefruit Negroni yesterday and loved it. I think I put too much Grapefruit juice in it though. I will try again in a few mins using less. Thanks.
