Lolea No 1 White Sangria, 75cl

Product Information

Best sangría recipe I've found so far. I keep preparing it all the time. Try adding some slices of very ripe peaches. Fresh fruit: Peaches and seedless green grapes flavor the mixture. I like to use peaches and grapes because they have a nice balance of sweetness and acidity. Plus, I try to take full advantage of the stone fruit season! You can substitute with citrus, mangoes, pineapple, or any ripe seasonal fruit you have on hand. White Wine: Always use a good, drinkable wine to avoid a headache. I generally use a dry, fruity Spanish wine such as an Albariño. (Read more about Spanish wine.) Make it punchy: You can bump up the alcohol content and flavor of your Sangria with the addition of liquor. Many traditional Spanish Sangrias will use a brandy, sherry, or vermouth to accompany the wine.

Over time, the recipe for sangria evolved, incorporating local and seasonal fruits and various types of alcohol like brandy. Sangria gained popularity in the United States after it was showcased at the 1964 New York World's Fair, and since then, it has become a favorite summertime beverage worldwide! 🍹 Sangria Ingredients Simple syrup (optional): Sweetens the drink to balance the citrus, wine, and fino. You can buy simple syrup at the store, but it’s easy to make with just sugar and water (learn how to make simple syrup in my Rosé Lemonade recipe). This fruity sangria is made with Spanish white wine, fresh fruit of your choosing, brandy, and the flavored liquor of your choice. You also add sugar for additional sweetness (more or less to your taste), and top things off with sparkling water. It's as simple as it sounds! Ingredients

3. What kind of wine should I use for sangria?

You only need a handful of ingredients to make a truly delicious sangria. Play around with using different fruits to find a flavor combination that works for you! And my wine was a Chateau St. Michelle cab, which is not something I'd enjoy on its own, but it all worked out anyway. Very good recipe. I'd do it again. Muddle. Use a wooden spoon or muddler to muddle the fruit and sugar for 30 seconds, then pour in ½ cup of orange juice and ½ cup of brandy, then muddle for another 15-30 seconds. You want to use sturdy, flavorful fruits that can sit in the pitcher for a long time without disintegrating. We went with apples, blueberries, oranges, and strawberries here, but your options don’t stop there.

Make Ahead: It's definitely easier to make sangria in advance. You can prepare the fruit mixture the day ahead and let it macerate in the fridge overnight for the best flavor, or you can prep the entire sangria in advance and let the fruit infuse in the wine overnight. Add fruit: Experiment with adding your favorite fruit, from berries to apples to tropical fruits for a non-traditional twist. Around the holidays I especially love to use in-season citrus and to cut up starfruit for a festive-looking drink. In the warmer months I enjoy stone fruits, grapes, and lemons. So how can you tell if you’ve left it too late and the Sangria is no longer good to drink? How Can You Tell If Sangria Has Gone Bad?

6. Is sangria sweet?

White wine: My preference is an Albariño white wine, which is citrusy, tart, and herbaceous. You can also use a Garnacha Blanca, which is a more fruity, berry-forward Spanish white wine, with less acidity than the Albariño.

Start with these basic ingredients and you’ll end up with the best sangria you’ve ever had! Spoiler: you do not need any sweet liqueurs, sodas like 7-Up, or tons of sugar. 1) Bottle of Garnacha or Pinot Noir Absolutely—sangria is a perfect make-ahead drink to serve a crowd. Stir together all ingredients in your pitcher, and refrigerate until ready to serve. We recommend letting it sit for at least 2 hours, but you can also leave it overnight. The longer it sits in the fridge, the more the flavors develop and the better the sangria gets. If you’re busy and forget to make sangria the day before try and give it at least a 4 hour waiting period before serving. Why Garnacha and Pinot Noir? They’re fruity, low-tannin red wines. Tannins are naturally-occurring compounds in grape skins, seeds and stems that can make the wine taste bitter or astringent. Cabernet Sauvignon, for example, is high in tannins. It’s difficult to combat those funky flavors, and I suspect sangrias are often loaded with sugar in an attempt to counteract the bitterness of the tannins. Thank you, Food & Wine, for helping me figure out the tannin factor! 2) Fresh ripe fruit

How To Store Opened Sangria

In essence, if your Sangria looks hazy in appearance or is cloudy when you pour it, smells a bit weird and tastes downright bad then it’s not suitable for consumption. White sangria is actually a modern interpretation of traditional Sangria, which is made with red wine. White wine, although also produced in Spain, simply wasn’t as commonly available as red. Sangria is a popular wine-based punch that originated in Spain. The word "sangria" comes from the Spanish word "sangre," which translates to "blood." This refers to the dark red color from using red wine.

Leftovers: Sangria will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge with the fruit, and for up to 1 week in the fridge without the fruit.
