Authentic Spanish Sangria

1. 1

   Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.

2. 2

   Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.

3. 3

   Add Liquors and stir.

4. 4

   Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.

5. 5

   Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.

6. 6

   Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.

   Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
