This was the first Sangria "recipe" I've tried, and I was unimpressed, but I think the sparkling water choice makes a huge difference.
I went with Whole Foods brand sparkling citrus mineral water and it completely watered down the sangria - I would recommend using something with a LOT of fizz, and only using half as much (I prefer more of a wine flavor than a "wine spritzer" flavor. Maybe ginger ale as others have suggested.
Next time around, I will increase the orange and lime juices, and save the sparkling water as an addition in-glass as opposed to in-pitcher. I think this will help a lot. Good base, needs adjustment!

I made this recipe exactly as stated for friends, except I swapped out Canada Dry Ginger Ale for the Sparkling Water. It was delicious and disappeared quickly.
I'm making it again for a BBQ tomorrow and trying a different wine. Honestly, I think any nice bottle of wine will do--red, white or blush. Excellent, excellent, excellent.
