Sangria challenge 2011: First attempt

I’ve decided that this summer, I’d like to find two sangria recipes (one red, one white) that I really love, so that I have a fun and easy “go to” drink for summertime parties.

I did some research, and I found that there is no shortage of recipes on some of my favorite recipes sites. For now, I’ve selected six, and I plan to try them all out, one every couple of weeks, until I find the ones I really like.

William is a willing tester for me (unsurprisingly).

So I started with Bobby Flay’s recipe a few weeks ago, and it was delicious.

Lesson learned: I’d cut the fruit into larger chunks, because there was plenty left over and I would have like it to absorb a little less of the mixture. Otherwise, no complaints!
