Sarasota's Spanish Sangria

Created by Kchurchill5 on March 2, 2013

Step 1: Sangria Base ... I like to make this in the morning before serving it later that day so all the flavors can develop. Add everything except, the strawberries and the lemon lime soda to a jug or bowl. Now, I bought one just for sangria - it has a wide top, and even a spout to pour; but, you can also use a large bowl or even a tupperware box. That is what I used for years, and it worked great. It had a lid; and, it was plenty big enough. I just poured it into a punch bowl or pitcher before serving. My point is ... use what you have. You just want something covered and that can be refrigerated all day.
Step 2: Finish ... Right before serving, add the strawberries and soda. Mix and enjoy.
Step 3: Option ... Some people prefer it over ice, some do not. That is up to you. For a nice touch. Freeze 2-3 ice cube trays with 2 or 3 blueberries in each cube. Then, pour the sangria over a a couple of cubes - they add a nice flavor without watering it down too much; and the blueberries add a nice flavor as well.
Step 4: Note: You can add more or less lemon lime soda to your tastes - this is just the amount I prefer.
Step 5: Serve and ENJOY! Make sure to add some of the fruit with the Sangria when served.
