Steps:
- First, make the simple syrup by boiling the water and sugar. I usually boil them for about 15-20 minutes while stirring constantly. Allow this to cool to room temperature.
- Stir the wine, sweet vermouth, grenadine, cranberry juice and simple syrup together. Add a slice of orange to the glass to make it pretty. Then add a splash of 7-Up right before serving.
- Repeat all night!

Steps:
- 1. Mix all liquids together in a large GLASS pitcher.
- 2. Add orange slices. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- 3. When you serve it, no need to use ice cubes that would water down your drink. Use frozen mixed berries instead! Garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.
Tips:
- Choose the right wine. A good sangria starts with a good wine. Use a fruity, flavorful red wine that you enjoy drinking on its own. Some popular choices include Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Zinfandel.
- Add a variety of fruit. The fruit is what gives sangria its signature flavor. Use a variety of fresh, seasonal fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, grapes, and berries. You can also add other fruits, such as pineapple, mango, or watermelon.
- Use fresh spices. Spices add depth and complexity to sangria. Use a combination of fresh spices, such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
- Sweeten to taste. Sangria is traditionally sweetened with sugar or simple syrup. However, you can also use other sweeteners, such as honey, agave nectar, or stevia. Add sweetener to taste until the sangria is the desired sweetness.
- Chill before serving. Sangria is best served chilled. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours before serving, or overnight for even better flavor.
Conclusion:
Sangria is a refreshing, flavorful drink that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of wine, fruit, and spices, sangria is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make drink, give sangria a try. You won't be disappointed!
