  • Add a variety of fruits: In addition to citrus fruits, you can also add other fruits to your sangria, such as berries, peaches, or apples. This will give the sangria a more complex flavor.
  • Sweeten to taste: Sangria is traditionally made with a little bit of sugar or simple syrup. However, you can adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking.
  • Let it chill: Sangria is best served chilled. After you have made it, let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or even overnight.
