Notes
Substitutes:
- Red Wine: If you do not like red wine, you can use white wine or rosé instead. Both will give you a lighter, fruitier sangria.
- Apple Cider: No apple cider? No problem! You can use apple juice as a substitute. It won't have quite the same depth of flavor, but it'll do in a pinch.
- Brandy: If you don't have brandy, use bourbon or rum instead. Both will add a pleasant warmth to your Sangria.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Red Wine Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic red wine substitute available in most grocery stores.
- Brandy Substitute: Omit the brandy or use a non-alcoholic spirit available on the market for example you can opt for one of the options produced by Seedlip.
- Proceed As Usual: Use these non-alcoholic substitutes instead of the regular ingredients, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
