"My husband, Randy, has perfected traditional sangria. I shared this tasty and potent summer cooler with my AR friends at MauiGirl's home, ergo, the title of the recipe. I hope that you enjoy it too. Be careful. This sangria can 'sneak up' on you!" — Cathy Myers

Directions

In a 2-quart container, stir honey and triple sec together until honey has dissolved. Mix in the orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice, brandy, Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and sparkling water. Stir in the orange, lemon, and lime slices; adjust sweetness with more honey, if necessary, and serve in tall glasses over ice.

Sangria and I had a very bad break-up in my early adulthood, so I approached this with caution. I only had a taste of it at the Round Up, but what I had was delicious! I'll definitely be making this in the comfort of my own home, where I can better monitor my intake and subsequent actions :-)

Served at the Midwest Round-Up in KC. Perfect recipe, very refreshing. According to the submitter, do use cabernet sauvignon, it doesn't have to be expensive, but a substitution may not taste the same. Also use regular limes, not key limes since they may be bitter. Better if you use flavored sparkling water. All suggestions came directly from the submitter of the recipe. Thank you for a great recipe!

Perfect sangria! This adds just enough fruit, so it still tastes like wine (some sangria recipes are almost fruit punch!) Although, I did cut down the brandy down to 1 cup. It's still pretty potent.

I love the honey in this recipe. Other Sangrias use sugar and can be too sweet. This is a pretty drink so the kids asked if they could have some so I made them some grape juice with sparkling water, floated the fruit in it so they didm't feel left out.

Magnolia Blossom made this at my roundup. I merely watched but it is good. And it is potent with the potential to be sneaky. Thanks for the recipe!
