I doubled this recipe for a party and it was good, but not great. It tasted a bit bitter to me. I used nectarines instead of the cherries and pineapple. For the liquor, I used 1/2 cup brandy & 1/4 cup triple sec insead of all brandy. I put all the fruit, brandy, and OJ in a bag in the fridge to marinate overnight. I added the wine in the morning and then the Sprite right before we served. It tasted a little bitter so I added extra OJ and an extra can of Sprite. It helped a bit but next time I'll either add sugar or leave out the lemon and lime to make it just a touch sweeter.

I may have had to modify it a bit for the amount that I actually had to make but I think I stuck to the heart of the recipe and it was fabulous! Add a touch of cinnamon for something extra.

They don't have brandy where I live so I used citrus wine and it still turned out delicious!

Way too much fruit, even without the lime, lemon and cherries, which I did not have on hand. Cut fruit by half. Pretty good, but needs sugar. I will try again, but won't add lemon or lime as I find that tends to add too much bitterness to the Sangria.

I soaked the fruit in Brandy over night. It worked out well. The first glass of sangria tasted a little tart, but it got alot better really fast! I will be making this again for sure!

The recipe is easy to make! It seems, however, that the ratio of liquid to fruit is kind of off. I had so much fruit in mine that I could barely fit all the liquid (and I didn't even use all the suggested fruit). Make sure you use a very large pitcher to make this mix! Also, I did add sugar to the recipe and it made it much tastier!

I made this last Friday with a few alterations. I used Lambrusco red wine, soaked red seedless grapes, sliced apples, and oranges in malibu rum instead of the brandy. I did use a can of sprite and a cup of orange juice, like the recipe states, but did not include lemon, lime or pineapple and i didnt crush any of the fruit. IT WAS AWESOME!!! My friend and I drank the whole pitcher! I will definitely make this again soon.

Very good and very potent. I love it, my husband doesn't. He isn't a huge red wine fan though so he doesn't count. I'm actually feeling the buzz off of it right now. It's very good and fun to make.

I love Sangria and love this recipe! Since I'm not a dry red wine fan, I took other's suggestions and used Lambrusco for a little sweetness. Although many people haven't had it this way, I love my sangria with berries. I used strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, grapes and apples. It is it more expensive, but for a berry lover, it is well worth it!

i've never made sangria before... happily consumed it but never embarked on making it. truthfully it seemed a bit intimidating. but after reading this recipe and the reviewers feedback and suggestions, what a perfect sangria. i was just looking for simple and drinkable but this surpassed that and was so incredibly tasty & yummy... & yes, it's even better then the restaurant sangria i'm use to. thank u!

HOLY COW!!! This could very well give me a drinking problem. I revised slightly and failed to read the directions...I didn't soak for 2 hours but it was still phenomenal. I used Franzia chillable red (a box makes about 5 pitchers of this). Omitted the pineapple - love it but sounded weird for sangria. Spiced rum (way good)instead of brandy. Frozen can OJ and then just took a 1/4 chunk out and lopped it in the pitcher. 2 cans of 7up/Sprite to "smooth out" - if you plan to drink the whole pitcher pour in right away. Otherwise, as suggested (great idea) top individual drinks off so it doesn't go flat.

Made this for a friend's birthday party and everyone LOVED it. I doubled the liquid in the recipe with no problem but didn't double *all* the fruit. The apples and cherries are a must. Also, used a nice tempranillo wine so there was no need to add sugar.

This recipe is awesome! The only thing that I did different was double the liquids, and I used Lambrusco instead of dry red wine. So good!

Outstanding! Everyone loved it. Having lived in Spain, it brought back great memories of "fiestas campestres" and finding relief from the heat with this refreshing beverage. Very authentic recipe! Thank you.

I have a very similar recipe that I use: without cherries, lemon or lime, but with a 6oz can or pineapple juice and 1/4 cup of brandy is replaced with orange liqueur. It's delicious!

I subsituted the fruit in the recipe with a pear, an apple, maraschino cherries and an orange. I only let the fruit soak for about four hours but it was still delicious! I served it hanging out with friends in the afternoon and they all loved it. Later that night I went out to dinner at a tapas restaurant with some friends and we got a pitcher of their sangria which was good but nowhere as good as this recipe! This recipe has the potential to be very potent but the drunk fruit is delicious!
