MAJORCA SANGRIA (THE REAL DEAL)
From CULINARIA SPAIN & recipe editor Ingeborg Pils comes this recipe straight from Majorca, known as Spain's *Island of Wine* for its long tradition of excellence. Altho the vineyards are sml by modern stds & produce 1.5 mil liters for export, demand for the wine is so great on the island that very little wine is actually exported. This recipe was described as authentic, but strangely did not suggest a particular red wine. Since I do not feel qualified to choose for you, I will leave that to your best judgment. (Time *does* include time for fruits to sit in the sugar) *Enjoy*

GAME DAY SANGRIA
This very refreshing and light sangria is perfect for hot game days. I use 'Real Sangria' from the wine section at the local grocer. It's a dark bottle with an orange label.

Tips:
- Chill your ingredients and sangria before serving: This will help to keep your sangria cold and refreshing.
- Use a variety of fruits: This will give your sangria a more complex flavor. Some good options include oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
- Use a good quality red wine: This is the foundation of your sangria, so it's important to use a wine that you enjoy drinking. A fruity red wine, such as a Tempranillo or Garnacha, is a good choice.
- Add a splash of brandy or rum: This will give your sangria a little extra kick. If you're using brandy, use a Spanish brandy such as Fundador or Carlos I. If you're using rum, use a light rum such as Bacardi or Havana Club.
- Sweeten your sangria to taste: You can use sugar, honey, or agave nectar. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
- Garnish your sangria with fruit slices or mint: This will add a festive touch.
