Several years ago, a neighbor who was a professional chef showed me a "simple" trick, for simple syrup. He put the equal parts sugar/water together, and began cooking. Next, he took out some of the mixture, to use for a later comparison tasting. He added 4 whole pepper corns to the remaining mixture, and cooked it for a time. He discarded the pepper corns, and did a with/without pepper corns tasting. There was an amazing difference in the DEPTH of flavor ... without any discernible TASTE of pepper, or anything else. Of course, Sangria has a host of flavors involved. But, I always add the 4 peppercorns to simple syrup. What is very subtle in cooking, can make a difference.

Fun trick for those who want their drinks icy but not diluted: FROZEN GRAPES! No seriously, think about it. Pre-feeeze your favorite grapes for a few hours and they act like ice cubes cooling the drink but not really offering extra water or another flavor. Good for any party drink!

Love the “fancy” opening of the wine 😅😂🤣😂😅👍🏻❤️

Great recipe! You have been my inspiration for new recipes for years now, Julia. Thank you for your hard work.

I keep frozen peaches and frozen grapes on hand to chill drinks - especially Sangria!
Thanks Julia for a time honored, wonderful recipe!

Add small apple cubes. They add only a hint of flavor BUT they absorb the sangria as they sit in it. Delicious garnish to eat!

Just got back from Spain and learned that Spaniards have a different drink that is more popular: tinto de verano. Half red wine, half lemon soda served over ice with a lemon slice. I like sangria but tinto de verano is where it’s at.

I like the idea of using Grand Marnier. I have always used brandy, which is good, but the Grand Marnier sounds like a good upgrade. I usually use a Spanish red wine like a Tempranillo when making sangria.

Hmmm, for some reason I think this is the best video about making Sangria. Thanks

Hi Julia! You can add several additional notches of taste by adding the lemon and orange zest to your recipe instead of wasting it, IMO!
BTW, using Grand Marnier is worth the additional cost. IMO!
Just tell your guests to sip slowly.

Brandy-based Grand Marnier also works well in sangria because it also made from 🍇. Also depending on the sweetness of the wine you may be able to reduce or eliminate the simple syrup.
