The secret of good sangria

Sangria is another one of those things that I like (love if it's good) but my husband doesn't. So, it's another thing I don't make.

A few weeks ago we did a picnic in the park with some friends. One of them made the absolute best Sangria I've ever had! I'll see if I can get her recipe for you.

What are your sangria secrets?

Use cheap wine.
-Is that what the chef meant saying "sheet". Did he pronounce it as "a typo"?
In that case I agree.

Pain killers!

Cinnamon sticks

2, yes I was trying to convey his Spanish accent.

4 Sticks to what? Or how many for how much liquid and do you just bung them in the jug or do anything to them first?

A bottle of cheep red wine,a slosh of pomagranade juice(geraldine),a slice or two of fresh orange/lemon,a splash of brandy/rum and a can of fizzy soda/tonic water,a few drips of bitters and lots of shattered ice cubes.Stir,using a cinnamon stick.

Myanmar - I just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten about your Sangria request. The friend of mine who makes it is currently out of town, but I will continue to attempt to get the recipe. Althoug tribolite's does sound good.

"Good Sangria" is an oxymoron. At least, I've never had sangria that was any more than a way to ruin both wine and fresh fruit juices at the same time.

I have an old bottle of Pimm's, and I'm not much fond of the drink.
I wondered, if it would make a good ingredient for a sangria-like drink.
Anyone tried to use Pimm's in similar way?
