Sheila's Perfect Sangria

“Sheila has been looking for a good Sangria recipe for some time. She checked out several recipes, combined the best of everything and came up with the perfect mix that would easily rival her favorite local lounge's sangria! With Cointreau, white rum, coconut rum, and loads of citrus fruits and juices this is a truly unforgettable sangria recipe.”

Very good sangria. I didn't use pink limonade, just added cranberry juice to the lemon lime soda and used orange juice instead of liqueur. Next time I will use more coconut liqueur, it gives a great tropical hint. I think the sangria uses too much fruits, next time I will definitely use less. I liked the sangria wasn't overpowered with soda that some restaurant sangria is. Good recipe, we used to drink champange at New Year's party, but it was a great alternative.

THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE WITH A FEW CHANGES. WAY TOO MUCH FRUIT IN THE ORIGINAL RECIPE. I MADE A BATCH FOR 20 PEOPLE. I ONLY USED 1 PIECE OF LEMON, LIME, ORANGE, APPLE, PEAR & PEACH. NO STARWBERRIES, KIWI OR PINEAPPLE. IT SHOULD NOT BE ABOUT THE FRUIT BUT ABOUT THE FLAVORFUL WINE WITH A BIT OF FRUIT IN IT. I ALSO ADDED PEACH LIQUOR, THE SAME AMOUNT AS COCONUT RUM. IT WAS EXCELLENT. EVERYONE RAVED ABOUT THE SANGRIA. I ASLO USED A FAIRLY DECENT WINE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN MAKE GOOD SANGRIA STARTING WITH VERY VERY CHEAP WINE. YOU NEED A FULL BODIED WINE TO START. WE USED A CAB. SO GOOD. WILL MAKE OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH OUR CHANGES.

Absolutely wonderful! There really is a lot of fruit so if you aren't one to eat it, lessen it by about half. However I think that is the best part and love to eat what is leftover. The only changes I made (based on budget concerns and what was on hand) were I omitted the pineapple and added 2 fresh peaches, and I omitted the lemon and lime juice and lemon-lime soda altogether. I honestly did not think they were necessary. Overall a wonderful sangria and I love that you can play with it based on what is available in your house!

ok.. lots of people used different fruit, so did I, but the end result is the flavor of the mix. with the alcohol, the fruit does not matter, use what you like, this is pretty much a faultless sangria. Great great recipe. thanks so much. we have tried many recipes, this one deserves a special prize. thanks for sharing.

I have made this recipe over 10 times during the years. It is everyones favorite sangria. People who do not like sangria, even love it. Try it once & you will be hooked.
