Need sangria recipe

[Ashleycttu04]

I am in love with a sangria at my local brick oven pizza place... Of course they refuse to share the recipe.

Anyone have a good sangria recipe that includes cinnamon &/or nutmeg? I'm pretty sure this sangria has one or both of those ingredients in it...

Thanks in advance!!!

Mine does not have cinnamon or nutmeg in it but I'm willing to share. It's nothing crazy but easy to make. I always make it the night before you are serving it.

I usually get one of those handles of wine. Carl Rossi sangria flavor.

1 handle of wine.
Triple sec.
Brandy.
Any schnapps liquor if you have but not necessary.
Sugar.
2 apples sliced.
2 peaches sliced.
2 kiwi
2 limes, 1 sliced and 1 for juice.
2 lemons, 1 sliced and 1 for juice.

I believe that's it.

Enjoy!

Welcome to you both! As a former bartender and frequent visitor to Mexico, I would suggest using the cheapest wine you can get, and put a whole bunch of citrus in it. The thread here on DC has a bunch of nice recipes for sangria. Check it out!

I found this list @ Google when I searched "Sangria." https://www.google.com/search?q=sangria&sa=%A0&sitesearch=discusscooking.com

I've not made this yet but did bookmark it as something I'd like to try. It has the spices you were looking for. =) Let me know how it turns out if you make it!

Honeycrisp Apple Sangria

2 honeycrisp apples
one 750-milliliter bottle unoaked chardonnay
½ cup peach Schnapps
¼ cup honey
2 oranges, 1 quartered
1 lemon, quartered
1 lime, quartered
2 cinnamon sticks
2 quarter-size slices of fresh ginger
3 whole cloves
2 tablespoon sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
ice
club soda
mint sprigs, for garnish (we skipped)


Peel, core and chop 1 of the apples. In a bowl, combine the chardonnay, Schnapps and honey. Add the quartered orange, the lemon, lime, cinnamon sticks, the chopped apple, ginger and cloves and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Strain the sangria into a pitcher. Peel, core and finely chop the remaining apple. Peel, section and chop the remaining orange. Mix the apple and orange in a bowl.

On a small plate, blend the sugar and cinnamon. Moisten the rims of wine glasses and dip in the cinnamon sugar to coat. Fill the glasses with ice. Pour in the sangria until three-quarters full. Top with a splash of club soda. Garnish with a spoonful of the chopped apple and orange and a mint sprig.

Sangrías - Original recipe 1800s

Hi,

I am a new member who has been living in between Italy and Madrid Capital, Spain for my profession.

Normally Sangría is made with La Rioja Red Wine and Jerez Brandy and Casis.

The original recipe was created in the 1800s in Spain.
It was introduced in the USA, during the World´s Fair in NYC.


Just wanted to say: Your White Wine Punch looks fabulous ... We are having a cold spell here ... brutal winds.

+1.
10% Cointreau, 20% Brandy, 70% wine.
Cointreau works well in place of triple sec.
I go easy on the sugar and fruit.

Old thread, Vit. I was surprised to see myself, then realized it was from Nov.! We did garner some nice new Sangria recipes though!

Know what, Vit, I did chase a couple who stole 2 jumbo margarita glasses without paying down the street, and got the glasses back!

 

[vitauta]

sangria must have been good--rolling in the deep good....

 

[Ashleycttu04]

Lol! I'm just happy people replied! Some delicious sounding recipes...& can't wait to try them!!!

Thought I'd share one I found & tried & tasted very similar to the one I love at my fav pizza place... (but everyone should know I don't measure ingredients...so the following are approximates)

1 bottle Cheap wine
2, 3, or 4 lemons, limes & oranges fresh squeezed
Approx 3/4 cup sugar

Slice up 1 lemon, lime & orange
Place in zip lock bag
Add 1 tbsp cinnamon
1 tbsp nutmeg
Shake it up, coating the fruit with the spices
Add to the pitcher & refrigerate an hour or three... enjoy!

It was delicious!!!

Large bottle of Real Sangria, triple sec, brandy and slices of citrus fruit. Why waste good wine when it will all taste the same after a couple glasses.

 

[jennyema]

Sangria pretty much by definition has brandy in it. Sometimes triple sec or Cointreu (sp).

Also sparking water much of the time.

Dump a large bottle 1500ml of cheap red wine in a pitcher. Add a cup or so of cheap brandy. Add 1/4 cup sugar. Stir well.

squeeze 2 ornages and add the juice
add cut up oranges, apples, lemons and limes
if you're up to it, smash some cherries, remove the pits and add them

Taste. May need more brandy or sugar.

Serve well-chillled, mixed with a bit of plain seltzer and topped with frozen green grapes.

I could have drank the Biltomore's Sangria by the bucket when I was there. These do NOT have nutmeg/ cinnamon as asked by OP but worth posting.

Just a heads up.

I hope all of you folks that are adding citrus with the peel to the sangria and live in North America are using organic citrus. (Okay if you live where citrus grows this is probably irrelevant). Citrus Red 2 is a dye that is only permitted on citrus skins, because it is carcinogenic and it is assumed that people don't eat citrus skins.

A lady I work with eats any kind of peel she can get, oranges, grapefruits, bananas....

On hot summer days I buy a bag of frozen berries (blue, black, rasp, but not strawberries because they cloud the mixture) and freeze some green grapes. Instead of the sliced citrus I use the frozen fruit right from the freezer (the green grapes are for white sangria). They keep the drink nice and cold and are very pretty in a clear glass pitcher.

 

[justplainbill]

I have spent many pleasant hours at the bar of a Spanish restaurant in NYC's West Village watching the bartenders and waiters mixing up pitchers of Sangria. AIR, the large pitcher was $17 and the small $12. For over a decade my colleagues would get together at that establishment for a Christmas luncheon which ran upwards of 5 hours. Many of us would consume 2 main courses and mucho Sangria; back in the 80's the tab for such a feast ran $50 - $75 per person and was well worth every penny. Those were the days!
