Notes
I like to add my own flair to this recipe:
Chill the pitcher before starting. This keeps your sangria cool from the start.
Use different fruits: Try pomegranate seeds or pears for a twist.
Non-alcoholic version: Swap wine for grape juice and skip the liqueur.
Adjust sweetness by playing with juice amounts or adding a dash of sugar.
