Club soda provides similar fizz and flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: honey

Honey is a natural sweetener that can be more affordable.

Start with a bottle of chilled Spanish grenache red wine.

Add 1/2 cup of triple sec and 1/2 cup of brandy to the wine.

Pour in a can of lemon concentrate, along with some fresh lemon juice and fresh orange juice.

Sweeten the mixture with about 1/4 cup of sugar and stir until dissolved.

Add a lot of lime slices, lemon slices, and orange slices to the mixture.

Include some maraschino cherries for added flavor and a treat in the glass.

Give the mixture a stir to combine all the ingredients.

If making ahead, refrigerate the mixture at this point.

When ready to serve, pour the sangria over ice in glasses.

Add about 2 cups of sparkling water just before serving, or use ginger ale or lemon-lime soda as alternatives.
