Several years ago, a neighbor who was a professional chef showed me a "simple" trick, for simple syrup. He put the equal parts sugar/water together, and began cooking. Next, he took out some of the mixture, to use for a later comparison tasting. He added 4 whole pepper corns to the remaining mixture, and cooked it for a time. He discarded the pepper corns, and did a with/without pepper corns tasting. There was an amazing difference in the DEPTH of flavor ... without any discernible TASTE of pepper, or anything else. Of course, Sangria has a host of flavors involved. But, I always add the 4 peppercorns to simple syrup. What is very subtle in cooking, can make a difference.
Fun trick for those who want their drinks icy but not diluted: FROZEN GRAPES! No seriously, think about it. Pre-feeeze your favorite grapes for a few hours and they act like ice cubes cooling the drink but not really offering extra water or another flavor. Good for any party drink!
Just got back from Spain and learned that Spaniards have a different drink that is more popular: tinto de verano. Half red wine, half lemon soda served over ice with a lemon slice. I like sangria but tinto de verano is where it’s at.
I like the idea of using Grand Marnier. I have always used brandy, which is good, but the Grand Marnier sounds like a good upgrade. I usually use a Spanish red wine like a Tempranillo when making sangria.
Hi Julia! You can add several additional notches of taste by adding the lemon and orange zest to your recipe instead of wasting it, IMO! BTW, using Grand Marnier is worth the additional cost. IMO! Just tell your guests to sip slowly.
I Really like Your Recipes 😋 You Prepare Good Old Fashion at Home Recipes for the Everyday Home. I Especially liked that 🌶️🍅🧅 Chili Recipe and that Indoor "Clambake"- Clams, Mussels & 🦞"Fantastic. Keep them Coming! Sincerely Yours 🤠 Mr Severance, "The Cake 😋 🍰🎂 🥳🎉 🎊 Man ".
Brandy-based Grand Marnier also works well in sangria because it also made from 🍇. Also depending on the sweetness of the wine you may be able to reduce or eliminate the simple syrup.
Nice video! Especially the part where you open up the wine! Nice recipe! I use to make a sangria concoction! This recipe is a lot simpler! I used cinnamon sticks and Agra syrup. It would be nice to know where you can find that container? I would like to have one if they are not to expensive.
I’ve used Adam’s original recipe for as many years as you have as well as his white version (half as much triple sec if i remember right.) Sometimes I like to top off the glasses with a little seltzer. Not too much but just to give it a little something extra since I’m too cheap to use Grand Mariner. Lol
I just noticed you dont pinch the blade while cutting with a knife - that's so interesting because I really struggle to control the knife without doing so.
Spanish brandy (Brandy Jerez) is what one should use in a sangria. It's pretty much a waste of the Grand Marnier when there are the sweet and orange flavors that it provides already present from other ingredients. The flavor of a solera aged Spanish brandy is an important component to sangria.
Already done my cooking except for breakfast, been doing a taco salad. Have to do a low carb diet. It's been working. Next A1C is expected to be 5.8 or less. Back in March it was up to 11.9, acid level was way off the chart.
Rather then ice cubes, I prefer to use frozen fruit in the glass... It serve the same purpose, but it has the added benefit of nutritious element (wink wink wink)
Hey Julia - RIght now Boonsberry Farm cost $5.49 and you're recommending to not spend more than $10 on the wine. How far behind the economic times are you? You should remember that Sangria is a WINE concoction. Never use a Merlot... that's a French gra[pe. Sangria should be sweet and SPICY. Use a Tempranillo or a Grenacha.
Sorry Julia, but that "raised collar" look went out twenty years ago! Despite this fashion faux pas~your videos are great! Showing you in your own kitchen, cooking as we do, is reassuring to folks who aren't confident in the kitchen.
Out of curiosity, do you know how douchey your comment is and just don't care or do you think you're actually doing her a favor by insulting her appearance? The irony is that you mention how her videos are reassuring implying you have a self-confidence issue while attacking her appearance potentially harming her self-confidence.
Sorry, but not the best Sangria I have had by any means. Had a definite "citrus rind" aftertaste. I'll stick to my much better tasting but more complicated recipe. Thanks for the video.

Yum
Will have to try that. Thanks for sharing 🎉
Amazing...thank you and thanks to your friend!
Can’t wait to try this thanks going in my recipe book

I absolutely LOVE this idea! Cold sangria and boozy grapes!😋
GENIUS IDEA!!!!
I freeze my grapes anyhow (enjoy sucking them like a lollipop :-). Never thought to use as ice cube esp. for cocktails... How apropos! TY!
Great recipe! You have been my inspiration for new recipes for years now, Julia. Thank you for your hard work.
I keep frozen peaches and frozen grapes on hand to chill drinks - especially Sangria!
Thanks Julia for a time honored, wonderful recipe!
Add small apple cubes. They add only a hint of flavor BUT they absorb the sangria as they sit in it. Delicious garnish to eat!
Wow, that looks delicious AND easy!

Abso
Thanks for sharing. Tinto de Verano sounds like a good summer drink. Looking forward to the warmer weather in Aus 😊

Julia is incredible. Love her
Simple and good wins with me every time!
Wowowow
Super simple sangria
Definitely need to try
so nicely explained, encouragingly simple

great recipe…so easy to do.😊
Hmmm, for some reason I think this is the best video about making Sangria. Thanks
I’m excited to prepare this Sangria!! Thank you from Colorado. 😍

Will make it next week, thank you!
Love the “fancy” opening of the wine 😅😂🤣😂😅👍🏻❤️
Thank you 🌈
Waiting to use my grand marinier...fantastic to 👌

I would love nothing more than to hang with Julia sippin' Sangria!

Thanks!
Looks so tasty

Yo sister... love it and you made me laugh.....😊...great happy vid … so simple thankyou.😘
Immediately a new favorite. Time for sangria o’clock! 🍷
Need a drinking buddy? 😂🎉
Time to GET LOADED!
I love it🥂
I've been looking for a good sangria / agua fresca jug. Julia, can you please send a link to the one you have?
I just noticed you dont pinch the blade while cutting with a knife - that's so interesting because I really struggle to control the knife without doing so.
Thank you....
My close friend loves ❤ sangria so much. I’m gonna try to use your recipe and have her drink the whole bottle 😅. I don’t drink so it’s all hers.
Your husband is a keeper ❤
I'd definitely add a cinnamon stick, and a couple of peppercorns for depth of flavor
Is that to the sangria as a whole or just to the simple syrup? If to the latter, do you strain it out?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's why I looked for this specific video! Looking forward to seeing your beautiful dogs more often

I always use Licor 43
I make this all the time..
Do you have a link for the drink dispenser?
I’m sure you can get it at Walmart
The sangrias I had in Spain never had any hard liquor - just wine, citrus, sparkling water and some sugar. Plain but great.
A great warm weather cooler downer.
Pro tip: Triple the amounts if you're a single person trying to drown your sorrows.
I'm making it tonight for sure!!!!
What glasses is she using, Does anyone know?
Adding a half or full bottle of Vinho Verde would lighten the flavor a little give it some sparkle.
2:25 lol//
3:00 whats that cylinde r product ??
I like a cinnamon stick added to my sangria pitcher.
Drink that and say thupper rumple sangia ;) great recipe ! 😊
So is this recipe 1 or 2 bottles of wine?
Already done my cooking except for breakfast, been doing a taco salad. Have to do a low carb diet. It's been working. Next A1C is expected to be 5.8 or less. Back in March it was up to 11.9, acid level was way off the chart.
I think you only used one bottle of wine.
They're adorable 😍
Our recipe just uses triple sec and brandy - still cheaper than grand marnier
How would convert it to a virgin Sangria? I don't drink wine.
Rather then ice cubes, I prefer to use frozen fruit in the glass... It serve the same purpose, but it has the added benefit of nutritious element (wink wink wink)
Have not had Sangria in a long-time.
❤
👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
😊😊😊😊😊😊
I could be wrong, but it looked like she only added one bottle of wine to the jar.
👍
Better With Champagne
❤❤❤👊
Wow how to open a bottle of wine.

She needs to sharpen that knife

Wow. Does it really matter in the whole-world-scheme-of-life? Tsk tsk. Fashion police...be gone!

In order for your opinion to matter, first it must mean something to me.
It doesn't.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Must have drank the first batch of sangria before making this video.
How to get drunk for soccer moms.
Merlot o Pinot Noir... hay que joderse. Un Don Simón por favor, que es sangría
Sorry, but not the best Sangria I have had by any means. Had a definite "citrus rind" aftertaste. I'll stick to my much better tasting but more complicated recipe. Thanks for the video.
I've seen many seeds in those lemon slices. After 2 hours this is going to be bitter as hell, isn't it..?
Sorry, real Spaniards dissolve superfine sugar in brandy and some sweeter less acidic fruit like apples,pears and peaches along with orange
Why do you think your version is the "authentic" one?
Considering she never called herself a spaniard nor did she call the recipe authentic in any way...the tone of this comment is odd
DOCUMENTED SUPER TASTER HERE - All alcoholic drinks taste terrible. That is why I don't drink alcohol
Thank you!
