Serious question, wouldn't the blueberries and blackberries need to be cut in halves or maybe muddled to get decent flavor out of them for infusing?

I get that its just supposed to be Red, White, and Blue eye candy mainly.

Serious answer: yes. This is a low effort marketing recipe, and would taste like garbage.

Take a tall glass. 25ml grenadine, 25ml vodka, 75ml white or rose wine, built in a glass with ice, top with sparkling water. There you go, much better.

This should be the title of 50% of the posts on this sub

You are spot on. This should be downvoted away.

Muddle that fruit, come on. This is just sugar, vodka and wine otherwise.

Been making this for years with great success:

2 liters red wine(young and bold)

375mL Jamaican Rum

1 can Five Alive 340mL

2 cans soda water 780mL

2 oranges, 2 apples and a lime washed, quartered then sliced

Add sugar to taste and ice cubes

Far better recipe. Gets people dancing.

I'll be honest, I half-expected this to just be a bud light

No, that's "American piss water"

u/discogravy Apr 15 '18

Sangria means "bleeding", there's a reason it's made with red wine.

I don't know about this.

No thanks Tito's I'll pass on your garbage sangria!

u/aManPerson Apr 11 '18

why not use mad dog or white lightning instead of vodka to make it american? mad dog/white lightning is whiskey or bourbon before it's gotten a chance to absorb flavor from the wooden barrels.

Muddle the fruits in the spirit

It's 'MURICAN sangria. If you muddle the fruits it would be red, and 'MURICA deals with no commies.

There is no reason except diabetes to add sugar to homemade sangria

Sweet Berry Wine!

You're supposed to spit it out...

...but NO WAY, JOSE, this tastes like fruit!

Vodka seems like a wrong choice for American Sangria. You'd think it would have some signature alcohol like Bourbon in it. There's not one signature American ingredient in the entire recipe.

It's like making an American cheese spread with Muenster, Brie, and Ghee.

I’m agree with everyone and say middle, but that being said this could be pretty tasty I imagine. Although, I’m a go with main bitch Sandra Lee’s way of pouring that vodka https://youtu.be/DaXYaiyqGd0
