Spanish & Tropical Sangria Recipe

I love Sangria and judging by how quickly it gets consumed at my soirées people love it too! I make two versions a white Tropical Sangria and a red Spanish Sangria.These recipes are for using a 750ML bottle of wine. If you're going to use a bigger bottle or make a larger batch double up on the other stuff!Spanish SangriaIngredients:Red Wine: Rioja, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon all work great.Brandy or White Rum (or both!) 1/2 to 1 cup (or more to taste)Orange Juice Concentrate 1 canLime Juice Concentrate 1 canClub Soda, Seltzer Water, Ginger Ale, Lemon/Lime Soda like 7UP or Sprite (I usually use Club Soda or Seltzer Water)Fruit: Lemons, Limes, Oranges (sliced thin). You can also add in peaches, strawberries, raspberries, or blackberriesIn a large pitcher stir together the white wine, rum or brandy, orange and lime juice concentrates. Add the fruit slices. The sangria may be prepared up to this point a day ahead and kept covered and chilled.Just before serving, stir in the club soda.For a slightly different variation add in pomegranate juice or a flavored rum.Tropical SangriaIngredients:White Wine: Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Pinot Grigio all work great.Brandy or White Rum (or both!) 1/2 to 1 cup (or more to taste) Using a flavored rum like guava, lime is also very okay.Mango Nectar/JuiceOrange Juice Concentrate 1/2 canLime Juice Concentrate 1/2 canClub Soda, Seltzer Water, Ginger Ale, Lemon/Lime Soda like 7UP or Sprite (I usually use Club Soda or Seltzer Water)Fruit: Lemons, Limes, Oranges (sliced thin).
