Tips & Warnings
This sangria is good and limey - if you don't like limes, add half the lime juice, taste, and then add the rest if you want.

This is not REAL Sangria, to make the good stuff add in equal parts Gin, Light Rum, Vodka and a half part Tequila. Add in fruit (sliced limes lemons oranges. halved grapes, strawberries ) whatever you have that's fresh, let stand for atleast and hour. Add ice and a bottle of good red wine or champange stir, keep the ladies away from the fruit they will chomp down on it and a lagre amount of alchol at the same time. Enjoy.

Sangria with an extra kick. Add any of these flavored liquers or vodkas: peach, orange, etc. Add any of these flavored vodkas: apple, citron, etc.

If there's a party on the way, forget the ice and try chilling the sangria at least a couple of hours before serving. Later, as the party is getting hot, add some ice. Drip in some alcohol (1 part vodka, gin or brandy, 5-6 parts wine) for a stronger effect. You can chop in some apples, too. Leave the apples in the glass while serving another. Eat the apples at the end. :)

on 7/13/2006 To chill the sangria without diluting, try making ice cubes from orange juice and/or soda (Mountain Dew or 7Up).
