mikkey 0 #1 December 17, 2003 OK, I am having a big X-mas party on Saturday and it is very hot down here at the moment. So I thought I'll make some Sangria for people. Looking on the net there are hundred of different recipes with lots of variations of what to put in. Anybody have a favorite recipe for this drink they can recommend?--------------------------------------------------------- When people look like ants - pull. When ants look like people - pray.

Pablito 0 #2 December 17, 2003 I would recomend clerico, is a really nice way to get people to drink wine and have healthy fruit salad. (get the Idea)??? fruit + alcohol+ sugar + 1 day of sitting=good time party!! Make a fruit salad of apples, pears, cherries, pine apple, and get a sweet white wine, pour wine until you are satisfied with the quantity of liquid. then to every 4 litres of wine = 1 kilogram of sugar. make it the day before consuption and keep it cool in the fridge. Sangria the Argentinian way. Get 4 litres of red wine, 1 kilogram of sugar, and lemon juice of 8 lemons. mix well and let it sit in the fridge for 1 day also. My favorite way to drink wine in parties. budget has to be good, because is expensive, but is worth all the money of the world. successfull party drink. go to the supermarket and buy 1 honey melon per 2 people you are inviting, and buy a bottle of wine per melon, and several kilograms of sugar. preparation simple, cut the top end of the melon, clean the seeds, and keep the cap of the top of the melon, afterwords pour the wine in the melon almost filling it up. then pour sugar and with a fork stir it up until all the sugar is gone, with the same fork scratche the walls of the melon so it get deep in it. leave one melon, peal the skin out of it, clean the seed, put the melon in a large container all cut in squares, and pour al the excess wine there. Really important, this one has to sleep overnight otherwise you will regreat, the favor is awesome, I preffer merlot wine on it and when drinking it put 4 straws. give them out and the melon will do the rest, also leave the containers for refills hiden and you have acess to it cause people will get really wasted, (so you can control the flow of it.)

Stacy 0 #3 December 17, 2003 red or white sangria? I usually make red. from scratch, take a 1.5 L bottle of red (cabernet works best), mix it in with 1 Cup of sugar, 3-4 oz of brandy, 3-4 oz of triple sec, then throw in some sliced up apple, orange and lemon, and some maraschino cherries. Cover and leave in teh fridge over night- thsi lets the fruits absorb the wine, etc... before serving top with a small glass of citrus flavored seltzer water. mix and serve. yo can add more sugar to taste. an easier way is to just go out ad buy the gallon jug of "real sangria." throw in the brandy, fruit and triple sec. Galen can't tell the difference between the two. __ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skycop 0 #5 December 17, 2003 I agree with Stacy, her recipe is almost the same as mine, I use just a little less sugar. 1/2 cup and more brandy in place of the triple sec!! If you can find lemon or lime Fanta add it in at the end, we mixed one 2 liter bottle. For an extra touch of class for your party, go buy one or two new plastic gas cans, fill them up, then walk around serving from the spout. Chicks really dig that!!!!! Happy Holidays!!
