    making red wine sangria

    Sangria is a fruity, slightly sweet wine punch that the perfect accompaniment to spicy food. I like to load mine up with fresh fruit — lemons, limes, oranges, apples, peaches, strawberries, grapes and whatever else is in season or a good deal at the grocery store.

    Traditional sangria is made with dry red wine and sweetened with sugar. Some recipes also call for lemon-lime soda to give it some fizz and additional sweetness.

    But you can also make it with club soda and a zero-calorie sweetener, like Sweet’N Low®, to reduce the calories. I used a Spanish Tempranillo Garnacha blend for this recipe, and I also added a touch of brandy (as is traditional) and some orange peach mango juice.

    Since people often have different preferences for how sweet they like their cocktails, I like to let everyone add their own packets of sweetener.

    That way, everyone can enjoy just the right amount of sweetness for their taste, without the extra calories.

    Ahh, so refreshing. A glass of this really hits the spot on a hot summer day.

    For best results, refrigerate the sangria for several hours, or even overnight, before serving.

    To serve, add peaches, strawberries and grapes to a wine glass and fill halfway with ice. Add Sweet’N Low® (if you didn’t add it to the pitcher), then fill your glass 3/4 full with sangria. Top with a splash of club soda, stir and garnish with lime or other citrus.

    Here, my husband demonstrates how easy it is to make the perfect glass of sangria:
