How much alcohol do you need to make sangria?

Sangria is a refreshing, fruit-filled wine punch that originated in Spain. Traditionally, sangria is made with red wine, but white wine or rosé can also be used. It’s important to use a full-bodied wine in sangria so that the fruit flavors can shine through. To make a pitcher of traditional red sangria, you’ll need the following ingredients:

-1 bottle (750 ml) of full-bodied red wine
-1 cup of brandy
-1/2 cup of triple sec or other citrus liqueur
-1 cup of fresh orange juice
-1 cup of fresh lemon juice
-1/2 cup of simple syrup
-1 orange, sliced into rounds
-1 lemon, sliced into rounds
-1 lime, sliced into rounds
-1/2 cup of chopped fresh fruit, such as apples, pears, or berries

Instructions:

1. In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the red wine, brandy, triple sec, orange juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup.

2. Add the orange, lemon, and lime slices, along with the chopped fresh fruit.

3. Stir well and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

4. To serve, pour into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with orange slices, if desired.

How long does sangria last?

Sangria can last for a long time if it is properly stored. If made with fresh fruit, it will last for about three to four days in the fridge. If made with canned or frozen fruit, it can last for up to two weeks. If made with wine, it can last for up to a month.
