    Hi bindiboo,

    You may get more replies on the Moneysaving Old Style board, so I hope that you don't mind if I move it over there.

    I got my smoothie maker and I'm thinking about trying to make some sangria with it! Just wondering how you guys would do this? I've been looking at recipes but they all say something different, getting a bit confused. What is actually in Sangria? I loved it in Gran Canaria :p

    As far as I know, sangria is:

    Red/White wine (1 litre)
    Orange juice (1 cup)
    Brandy (1 large glass)
    Tablespoon sugar or gomme syrup
    Topped up with lemonade
    Throw in chopped fruit (apples, oranges, lemon)

    Quantities can be altered to taste. Have fun experimenting. :)

    Thank you :) now I just need to get some money. Is brandy expensive? Never bought it. A cheap bottle of wine will do, right? There's a £2.10 bottle at Tesco :p

    Yeah, cheap wine is great for this... you can pick up fairly decent quality brandy in Lidl or Aldi for under £10, you won't need cognac for sangria, in fact it'll probably taste better with cheaper stuff!

    Hi Drea,

    I've added your post to an earlier one on making sangria to keep all the replies together.

    HI
    if you don't like brandy you can make tinto berrano instead

    red wine - 1 litre
    2 litr bottle of fanta lemon or equivalent
    fruit
    ice cubes

    delicious - to make it extra cold - stick wine in fridge first

    You can also make the anaemic version, using white wine mixed with lemonade
