CITRUS SANGRIA
The wine shop I work for recently had a Sangria party for our customers. This was one of the recipes we used. It is best to allow this to sit overnight (add ice just before serving) but if you're in a rush it will still be good to drink right away.

WHITE WINE CITRUS SANGRIA
This is the most wonderful sangria I have ever made -- but I much prefer white wine in sangria to red wine. This is great for serving at a spring or summer party -- just watch out! It gets consumed quickly! And, of course, you can add additional fruit to your liking.

Tips:
- Choose the right wine. A light-bodied, fruity red wine is best for sangria, such as a Rioja or a Garnacha. Avoid using a heavy, tannic wine, as it will overpower the other flavors in the sangria.
- Use fresh fruit. The fresher the fruit, the better the sangria will taste. Use a variety of fruits, such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit. You can also add other fruits, such as berries, apples, or pears.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make sangria. You can add different spices, herbs, or liqueurs to taste. Get creative and have fun!
- Make it ahead of time. Sangria is best when it has had time to chill and meld flavors. Make it at least a few hours before serving, or even better, the day before.
- Serve it chilled. Sangria is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator or in a cooler with ice.
Conclusion:
Sangria is a refreshing and delicious drink that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
