Notes
- Use a fruity and medium-bodied red wine for best results, such as a Merlot or Zinfandel.
- For a sweeter sangria, add a tablespoon of honey or simple syrup before chilling.
- Feel free to add other seasonal fruits like apples or peaches for variation.
- Chilling the fruit and soda mixture before adding wine helps preserve the wine’s flavor and prevents it from becoming too diluted.
- Adjust the amount of soda or wine depending on your sweetness and alcohol preference.
