NOTES

Throughout this easy process, I have noticed that the art of making awesome sangria is completely objective based on who’s drinking it. For individuals who enjoy stronger sangria, just ease back on the amount of grapefruit juice. Meanwhile, drinkers who enjoy a more mild and sweeter sangria can either use more fruit juice or add a bit more sugar.

It’s entirely up to you! So carry on and experiment with different things. After a few trials, I’m sure you’ll be able to create one kick-ass sangria recipe that you can share with all of your friends.
