I'm always a fan of white sangria but I now I'm converted. I've tried Bobby's recipe, using merlot and omitting the black berries and pomegranate seeds, and I've gotten a crowd pleaser, a fantastic recipe and I'll be using it again and again.

I've made this a couple of times now and everyone raves about it! I made a couple of modifications to this recipe. I didn't use pomegranate seeds and I added fresh strawberries and blueberries. I also used blueberry-pomegranate juice and blackberry brandy. For the wine, I just used a jug of Carlo Russo Merlot. Comes out amazing every time!

I looked over a few sangria recipes and they were all pretty similar, with some minor differences. I used this recipe and then modified based on the others I read.

I left out the pom juice, blackberries, and pom seeds. Added slices of lemon and lime and strawberries.

Used Rioja wine... any brandy and triple sec is fine. The guy at the wine shop was very helpful and knew what I needed.

I refrigerated batch overnight. Before serving I added sprite and soda water.

I huge hit.

This was the first time I made sangria and I will never try another recipe! This was perfect. The only bad thing was I should have tripled the recipe! Definitely make this.

Let me start off by saying that the recipe, as is, is probably delicious... I made a few changes just to make it easier and a bit cheaper to make (Pomegranate juice can be expensive!!

Started with a good (cheap $6-8 Tempranillo or Rioja Dry Red Wine
1/2 cup simple syrup
1 cup OJ
1 oz VSOP Brandy
1-2 oz Cointreau (or other orange or peach flavored liquor
Fruit sliced and diced: green apple, pear, blackberries (if in season, strawberries, orange slices.. get creative maybe a lemon sliced up
Get seltzer water and/or ginger ale just in case your friends want to sweeten or carbonate their sangria.. it goes in right before you serve, anyhow.

Do your best to get a 24 hour soak on all this to let the flavors marry.. your patience will be rewarded.

Serve over ice, sit back, and wait for the refill requests. Great BBQ cocktail. You can do a similar one with a good Spanish White Wine...

Reluctant to trying a new Sangria recipe, I sucked it up and gave this one a shot. It was a hit. Not only was this Sangria flavorful and smooth (had to make another 2 batches during the party, it presents itself beautifully in a party-sized glass urn. Make sure to let it sit for at least 24 hours.

Here are some of my shameful secrets (hopefully I don't embarass myself too much...I just hope this helps if you are in a bind for substitutes...I used a boxed shiraz and honey instead of simple syrup. The Sangria truly was delicious and I had to send the recipe out after the party to many who attended. I even forgot to add my signature cinnamon...and it was still fantastic.

I've used this recipe for catering many times, I change up the fruit when it's necessary not everyone can deal with the pomegrants seeds, and i do add sprite and more brandy. People just don't see see this one coming it's that good. Thanks Bobby
