Flawed Vacations in Spain (fizzy sangria)
Description
One summer while working lakeside at a super chill tattoo studio, I made my second home at this wicked Mexican restaurant. Aside from their mexi-dip that would have me getting outta bed for midnight cravings, they served this in-house made Sangria that led to me sleeping in their booths more than once. You'd get these massive jugs for 20$, they'd put citrus slices & cherries In there that would sink to the bottom & be the most delish booze soaked treat to fish out the bottom after you polished off a jug. This sangria was so fresh & fruity that you barely tasted the alcohol, so couple that with the price, *ergo; booth bed!*
This place has since closed the franchise taking their recipes to the grave :'(
The way I was taught to drink sangria by my ex GF's mom who grew up in spain, is at room temp (something about the smoothness of the wine and brandy?idk, she talked *allot* about booze lol) but in the heat sometimes chilled lemon Perrier & cold fruit are added to the room temp sangria which was my absolute fav. This is a recreation of that.
It's juicy, boozy, bubbly, fruity...and in perfect time for our stupidly late warm weather. Enjoy :)
FIZZY SHERBET adds some more fizz and a touch of lemon. I don't know how VT makes such a realistic fizzy texture but its amaze-balls.
BLOOD ORANGE CHAMPAGNE gives a slight boozy note with a touch of orange to help out the fruits in the mix.
FLV SANGRIA is the heart note here. I initially made this mix with RF sangria before the FLV version came along and I much prefer FLV. It's got more body and is heavier in tannins than the RF offering & has more of a booziness to it, think of it as being a deep red wine compared to RF being a fruity rosé.
FA LIQUID AMBER tops off the boozy note and adds some body.
MEXICAN CACTUS gives it some juiciness/wetness
BLOOD ORANGE/CHERRIES/LIME are for the fruits added to the sangria
Its honestly sweet enough on its own but I enjoy it with some FLV sweetness (really makes those fruits pop!) or supersweet added to it and in the summer, .50% WS23.
SNV certified.
I honestly rate and review every recipe I mix up on here (I consider it to be good etiquette) and would ask you to do the same!
