I always order Sangria's in Mexico. They sound so good right now. I have googled but am not finding one I think is close. Although I have never made them before. They had two layers. The bottom layer has lemon/lime soda, vodka, and something else (it was white on the bottom), the top half was red wine. Many recipes I find have fruit in it but not the ones they served there, but that does not matter. Anyways, I am going to come up with something today!! lol

I clearly don't know the right way, but a few summers ago I poured a bottle of decent white wine into a pitcher and threw in a handful of oranges and a lemon. It was delicious, sitting on my front porch on a sweltering day.  |

I have several good ones pinned on my Pinterest cocktail board: My PinterestJust a heads up--I use strawberries in a lot of my sangrias. They tend to fade after soaking in the alcohol. It's only noticeable in the white sangrias. They still taste fine. One of my favorite whites is the white strawberry lemon recipe and my favorite red is the Very Berry sangria recipe. |

I went to a party where they used club soda, riesling and fresh oranges and orange juice, it was delicious! She said any citrus would work.

I've always just used red wine, lemonade (or lemon/lime), orangeade, ice and whatever fruit I had lying around. Never knew vodka should go in it. Then again if I did that the kids wouldn't be able to have a glass (in my version it's about a third each of the liquids).

I like a traditional Spanish sangria. I haven't made it myself, but my SIL makes a fabulous version. Here is a similar recipe.

I usually make the Whole Foods recipe. It's super easy, and everyone always seems to enjoy it. Sangria RecipeIngredients: 1 (750-ml) bottle red wine 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as triple sec (optional) 1/4 cup sugar 1 small orange, thinly sliced 1 small lemon, thinly sliced 1 peach, pitted, peeled, and diced 1 cup lemon soda, chilled In a large pitcher, combine wine, orange juice, orange liqueur and sugar; stir to dissolve sugar. Stir in fruits and refrigerate until chilled and the flavors have blended, 2 to 8 hours. Just before serving, gently stir in soda; serve sangria over ice. |

Wow, I am going to have to be creative and plan for making more recipes. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
This is what I came up with:
1 shot vodka
1/2 shot orange liqueur
sprite (until 3/4 full)
red wine on top
(I also thru in some pineapple and strawberries that I had cut up in the fridge)
It was great for a quick drink and I think I came pretty close but
when I go back to Mexico I am going to tip the guy well and figure out what he does
