It’s almost impossible to find a liquor store that doesn’t sell sangria, but there’s something special about making your own. Wine is one of the main ingredients in this traditional Spanish drink and this brief guide will help you pick the right type for your homemade sangria.
Red Sangria
Red sangria is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions this beverage. Garnacha, Pinot Noir, and Rioja are some of the best wines used for this variety, especially when mixed with red barriers, oranges, limes, and grape, with some brandy added to the mix.
Rosé Sangria
Rosé is not as popular as red sangria, but it’s worth giving it a shot if this happens to be your favorite type of wine. When it comes to fruits you’re going to use when making this variety, nectarines, peaches, oranges, green apples, and pineapple are your best bet.
White Sangria
Just like rosé sangria, white sangria is a popular summer drink, and it can be made with Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, or the traditional Portuguese Albariño wine. You can use the same types of fruits that you would usually add to your rosé sangria, with a splash of apple brandy.
