Each person can adjust the ingredients according to their taste, such as the amount of sparkling wine, fruit and added juices or liqueurs. This allows for a more personalized experience.
Which fruits for sparkling sangria?
Always use at least 1 citrus fruit (lemon or orange). For the rest, use seasonal fruit. The most commonly used are strawberries, raspberries, apples, grapes, pineapple, kiwi, peaches, etc.
