Notes
Apple Pie Spice: Use 1 tsp of this instead of nutmeg and cinnamon.
Whiskey: Brandy works beautifully in place of whiskey.
Adjust to Taste: Sangria is very forgiving. Add extra red wine, whiskey, or apple cider to your liking.
Ice: Don't add the ice until you're ready to serve so it doesn't dilute the sangria.
Wine: Use a dry, fruit-forward red wine such as Grenache or Tempranillo. You don't need an expensive bottle.
