Notes
Here are a few tips to elevate your sangria:
For a sweeter drink, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar or honey.
Experiment with fruit. Feel free to substitute or add different fruits to customize.
For a stronger flavor, let it chill overnight. The longer it chills, the more the flavors meld.
Leftovers can be stored for up to 3 days in the fridge without losing taste.
