I have been living the last few months in Barcelona, and I'm pretty sure I've drunk my weight a few times over in sangria already this summer. There's just something about it - it's light and fruity, not too much alcohol, and it's just so darn easy to drink!
Making it at home is super easy and it's also super easy to modify. You can pretty much use any fruit you want, I like generally what I've put in this recipe, but apples are always a great addition as well. As far as the sugar goes, sometimes I add it and sometimes I don't, but when I use citrus like lime and lemon I always do. It really helps balance out the tartness.
