In this setting, sangria is often served in 1-litre pitchers or other containers large enough to hold a bottle of wine plus the added ingredients.

Classic Sangria Recipe

DIRECTIONS

1. Have the fruit, rum, wine, and orange juice well chilled. Slice the lemon, lime and orange into thin rounds and place in a large glass pitcher. Pour in the rum and sugar.
2. Chill in refrigerator for 2 hours to develop the flavors.
3. When ready to serve, crush the fruit lightly with a wooden spoon and stir in the wine and orange juice. Adjust sweetness to taste.

When ready to serve, add the club soda and stir gently in wine glasses or other decorative glasses with ice cubes and slowly pour the sangria over the ice, allowing fruit slices to fall into the glasses.

Enjoy!!!
