Sangria recipes, please.
I enjoy an assortment of blender-beverages on hot days, or simply vodka and apple juice if I can’t be bothered. But right now I crave sangria.
Anyone got a good recipe or three to share?
Easy…Orange juice, chopped apples, slices of orange and a forte wine that can stand up to such abuse. Mix it to how sweet you like it. if you’re having a date, mix in more OJ. I tend to like mine less sweet.
Hey man, while you’re at it, Google “tinto de verano”. It’s what they drink a bit further up north instead of sangría.
EDIT: Here’s a link for you. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinto_de_Verano
And note:
There’s a link off that for a recipe in English.
Since you have such amazing & cheap limes in Taiwan - go to the wet market and buy a basket of limes.
Then there are about a million options open to you.
Dark & Stormy: Dark Rum (like Meyers), gingerbeer and sugar syrup. Or how about tequila, lime juice and some sprite?
I fear tequila. Captain Morgan too.
And snakes… sharks.
Hmm… that’s all.
Mind, I don’t drink snakes, nor sharks.
But tequila is bad.
shudder
Gin? Vodka?
Vodka: Vodka, Lime juce, bitters, ginger beer
Southsider - think a Mohito with gin instead. Lime juice, sugar, gin and mint
Campari with OJ or pineapple juice. Layer it and it looks cool.
I don’t often drink tequila as I think it is on par with gasoline but, on the other hand, mix Preidente Tequila with damiana (Mex equivalent of galiano) and it is pretty good; especially after the first two.
Also Sambucca (the black variety) straight from the freezer.
Damn; now I made myself thirsty!
I also like hot apple juice with brandy in the winter. Try it in the summer on ice with a cinnamon stick. Tasty and refreshing.

I guess you are right. Keep your date sober and your wife drunk. 
Sangria? Well, I make it in 2 to 3L batches for thirsty salsa dancers, but here goes:
1.5L red wine: nothing fancy, but nothing that will peel the paint off the walls the next day.
1 can of Sprite or any other lemon soda.
About 300ml of citrus juice (orange,grapefruit, etc)
3 ounces of white rhum
2 sticks of cinamon
Sugar to taste (about 1/3 cup, more if you like it sweet)
Garnish each glass with a slice of lemon and orange.
You can also do white sangria, same as above, except for the wine (white) and I like a splash of mango juice rather than the citrus (about 150mls).
Sorry for not beeing more precise; the best sangrias are made to taste.
Play around with it and see what you like best.
