Since I don't drink, I have no idea what to use . please help! Thanks Thu Jul 03 12:55:11 -0700 2008 206462 jackie7 1 3838461 Sweet lemon juice sounds like lemonade. Spanish brandies: Carlos I, Cardenal Mendoza, Gran Duque de Alba and Osborne. Try this: "Sevillana Sangria" makes 1 pitcher 1 bottle of Montecilla (Spanish wine) 1 small can of fruit cocktail 5 orange slices 5 lemon 5 lime slices 2 oz. Grand Marnier 8 tsp. Sugar 10 oz. Club soda Serve on ice with orange & lime slice Fri Jul 04 04:34:27 -0700 2008 3836945 19281 2top 1 3838865 Well, any bold, simple (and cheap) wine can be substituted in place of Spanish wines but the ones below are those I've got or tried. I don't think I'd add an expensive brandy to a sangria, either. Spanish wines: Reds: Borsao Campo Borja Campo Viejo Mas de Caralt Red Table Wine Whites: Vionta Albarino Anything from Bodegas Spanish brandy: Fundador* Sweet lemon juice sounds like simple syrup added to lemon juice; lemonade concentrate would be a probable substitute. Be sure to add citrus slices to the pitcher and the glasses you're going to serve the sangria in. * An acquired taste; similar to that first sip of an armagnac, a calvados, or a grappa. :) Fri Jul 04 08:29:15 -0700 2008 3836945 11175 The Ranger
