Best Sangria & Easy to Make!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My boyfriend and I tried this recipe back in 2009 with our friends and THEY LOVED IT! Not only was it easy to make, but it... was so tasty. Of course sangria is supposed to be a little stronger so we added more pisco. Make sure u use a good quality wine and pisco! I am Peruvian too and this is close to our Sangria!Read more

Excellent!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This sangria is absolutely delicious! It has a wonderful unique taste from the Purple Corn and everyone loved it! I used... Riesling instead of Sauv. Blanc so it was a little more sweet. Read more

Good but needed more time
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I think this recipe would have gone easier if I had soaked the corn overnight before beginning. After cooking with the... pineapple for 1 hour the corn was still hard as a rock. I cooked for 2+hours and completed the recipe but I don't think enough color was leached from the corn since the drink was much lighter than the picture. However, the flavor of the drink is good.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband is Peruvian and we love this receipe! We made it on Friday night in time for a Saturday dinner (with the Lomo... Saltado). It was wonderful Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The longer we kept it, the more flavorful it became. We are huge fans. I would like to see more of his recipes.Read more
