- Use a variety of fruits: In addition to honeydew, jicama, and cucumber, you can also add other fruits to your sangria, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, or oranges. This will give your sangria a more complex flavor.
- Sweeten to taste: The amount of sugar you add to your sangria will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
