CLASSIC SPANISH SANGRIA
This is an authentic version of the popular wine drink. You can add any fruit that you want, but I find that apples and pears absorb all the rum. This one is not diluted with carbonated beverages. I have much success with red Burgundy wine and white rum, though spiced rum is nice too.

AUTHENTIC SPANISH SANGRIA
I'm sick of getting american sangria that's just wine and grape juice. After two years in Madrid and literally hundreds of bars surveyed throughout the country (in the name of cuisine of course) this is the receta that i've come up with. Since they don't sell caserra in the US i've got a good substitute. mucha mierda Note: These measurements are VERY general. I always make it to taste and I'd advise you to do the same.

Steps:
- Note: Because of the large volume I suggest making this in batches. This is one reason for the vagueness of the measurements.
- Mix the wine with 3/4 cup sugar. Set rest of sugar to the side.
- Add Liquors and stir.
- Slowly add 1/2 ltr lime seltzer and stir.
- Taste now and add any ingredients to taste. There SHOULD be a bit of a liquor bite to it, but it should NOT be overpowering. Likewise it should be sweet but not send you into a diabetic coma. It should also have a decent fizz to it, if it's too thick, add seltzer. Just experement.
- Once you've got the taste you want, add the slices of fruit. I've found that the sangria i get in America tends to be loaded down with fruit. Remember that it's more of a garnish and only adds a bit of flavor. If you need a ton of fruit to get the desired flavor, you haven't got the right mixture.
- Have fun experementing, and enjoy it. It's perfect for summer days and bbqs.
- For another great (and much simpler) spanish drink check out my recipe for Tinto de Verano.

TRADITIONAL SANGRIA
Rafael Mateo, the proprietor of Pata Negra, a Spanish wine bar in the East Village, formulated this sangria that is winelike and very refreshing, with a keen balance of tart and fruity flavors. Unlike many recipes, which specify Rioja made from the tempranillo grape, Mr. Mateo prefers using garnacha from Campo de Borja in central Spain, which he said has backbone without being overly tannic. He lightens the blend by adding rosé, and sweetens it with orange liqueur and orange soda rather than with fruit purée, a common addition, which he dislikes because, he said, it gives the sangria a grainy texture. He experimented with orange juice rather than soda, but found it, too, changed the texture. Finally, he allows the punch to knit together overnight and adds cut fruit only at the end, as a garnish.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, ripe fruit: The quality of your fruit will greatly impact the flavor of your sangria. Use seasonal fruits that are at their peak of ripeness.

- Garnish your sangria: Add some fresh fruit slices, herbs, or spices to your sangria for a festive touch.
