Recipe Variations
-------------------
Substitute the sugar in the Sangria with simple syrup. It not only mixes easier because there's no need to dissolve it, but the simple syrup is easy (and cheap) to make at home. All you need is sugar and water.
Tip
-----
Feel free to use a mix of white wines or stick with a single bottle. Either way, the bright citrus flavors of lemon and the sweet berry carries a refreshing blast to the palate. It's a fabulous summertime Sangria that everyone will enjoy.
Beyond the wine and raspberries, lemonade is the featured ingredient in this Sangria recipe. This means that you should pay special attention to it and the best way to do so is to make fresh-squeezed lemonade. The myth is that homemade lemonade is difficult to make, however, that is completely false. The basic lemonade recipe requires just three ingredients - water, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup - and the ratio is a simple 2:1:1. It mixes up in a matter of minutes and your Sangria will have a cleaner, fresher taste if you take the time to make it.
