I'm usually not a huge sangria fan. I tend to find that most sangria recipes call for way too much sugar for my taste. So when Michael suggested we make sangria for our recent cocktail party, I wasn't too excited. Boy was I wrong! Michael found this great recipe and it was really excellent. Not too sweet, and just the right amount of tartness. This is perfect for a party because you can make it a day before...it actually gets better with time!

Red Wine Sangria Recipe


* 2 bottles red Spanish table wine
* 1 cup brandy

* Apple slices
* Blackberries
* Pomegranate seeds

I'm with you in thinking most sangrias are too sweet - I'm excited to try out a recipe that is more on the tart end of the spectrum!!
