THE BEST SANGRIA
The longer sangria sits before drinking, the more smooth and mellow it will taste. A full day is best, but if that's impossible, give it an absolute minimum of two hours to sit. Use large, heavy, juicy oranges and lemons for the best flavor. Doubling or tripling the recipe is fine, but you'll have to switch to a large punch bowl in place of the pitcher.

SANGRIA BY THE PROS
I found a good sangria recipe and headed to the liquor store to purchase the alcohol. In line, ahead of me, was a man who said he has been a bartender for twenty years now, and that the recipe needed a few touch-ups if I wanted to make it like the Pros. So, here is what he professed to me, muchos thanks to the other submitters for their delicious versions.

THE VERY BEST SANGRIA
There is a popular Spanish restaurant in town where they are known for their sangria. After years of downing this delicious and potent quaff, I had to have the recipe. You may make this with either red or white wine. Do not leave out the cinnamon. Add sugar to your likeness. Personally, I don't like it too sweet. Careful... This packs a punch on those unsuspecting.

Tips for Making the Best Sangria:
- Choose fresh, ripe fruit. This will give your sangria the best flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fruits. Classic sangria recipes typically use oranges, lemons, and limes, but you can also try adding other fruits like berries, peaches, or pineapple.
- Use a good quality wine. The wine you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your sangria. Choose a wine that you enjoy drinking on its own.
- Don't over-sweeten your sangria. A little bit of sweetness is nice, but too much sugar will make your sangria taste cloying.
- Let your sangria chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Conclusion:
Sangria is a delicious and refreshing drink that is perfect for parties and gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little experimentation, you can create a sangria that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy, give sangria a try. You won't be disappointed.
