Tips:

Use Fresh Fruits: Fresh fruits impart the best flavor to sangria. Choose ripe, seasonal fruits for the best results.
Don't Overcrowd the Pitcher: Don't pack the pitcher too tightly with fruit; leave some room for the wine and other ingredients to circulate.
Chill Before Serving: Sangria is best served chilled. Refrigerate it for at least two hours before serving, or even overnight for the best flavor.
Garnish Generously: Garnish your sangria with fresh fruit slices, mint leaves, or a cinnamon stick for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Adjust Sweetness to Taste: If you find your sangria too tart, add a little simple syrup or honey to taste. For a sweeter sangria, use sweeter fruits like oranges or pineapple.
