Why You Will Love This Recipe

Tips for Success

• When preparing your sliced fruit, try to use a mix of ripe and slightly underripe fruits to balance sweetness and acidity, enhancing the overall flavor profile of the sangria.

• Avoid using too much lemon soda, as it can overpower the other flavors. Aim for a maximum of 103 ml, and consider replacing some of it with sparkling water for a more subtle fizz and less sweetness.

• For a richer flavor, let the sangria sit in the fridge for at least 2-4 hours (or overnight) before serving. This allows the fruits to infuse the wine and liqueur, creating a more cohesive and complex taste.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the white wine with another type of wine?

Yes, you can use a light red wine or even sparkling wine if you prefer. Keep in mind that the flavor profile will change slightly, but it will still be delicious.

How can I store leftover sangria?

You can store leftover sangria in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. However, it's best to leave out the soda until you're ready to serve, as it can lose its fizz and become flat.

What if I don’t have licor beirão?

If you don’t have Licor Beirão, you can substitute it with a different herbal liqueur such as Amaro or an orange liqueur like Cointreau for a different flavor. However, it will alter the original taste of the sangria.
