I use whatever fruit looks good (apples, oranges, plums) and avoid lemons and limes because I think they are just too bitter. I cut up at least three pieces of fruit and put them in the bottom of a large Mexican glass pitcher I own.

I use about a cup of either Cointreau or Grand Mariner along with a two liter of sparkling water and big bottle of dry white wine.

I let it sit in the fridge for about an hour then serve it over ice.

- Media piña natural
- 2 Limones
- 1 Naranja
- 1 Copa de coñac
- 4 Cucharadas soperas de azucar
- Medio litro de gaseosa o soda


Moderator cut: Offensive remark removed.
Brandy is not cognac

Moderator cut: English is the official language for City-Data.

BTW, did you mean "vino tinto", because litro tinto is meaningless...muy pretencioso.

Well brandy is not necessarily cognac but cognac is brandy.

I use Yago as a base rather than all the work of red wine, etc. Then I just add different ingredients. My favorites to add are peach schnapps, ginger ale and oj. Sometimes Triple Sec. Whatever I have around. It is very hard to screw up Sangria.

Seriously, look it up. Proper sangria has brandy in, otherwise its just flavoured wine which is another drink altogether.
