How to make sangria with beer
Sangria is a refreshing, easy-to-make summertime drink that pairs well with many different foods. While the traditional recipe uses red wine, there are many delicious variations that use white wine, rosé, or even beer. Beer sangria is a great option for those who don’t enjoy the taste of wine, or for those who want a slightly less sweet sangria. The key to making a good beer sangria is to use a beer that is not too hoppy, as the bitterness can overpower the other flavors. A fruity or malty beer is a good choice.
To make beer sangria, start by chopping up some fresh fruit. You can use any combination of fruits that you like, but berries, stone fruits, and citrus fruits are all good options. Add the chopped fruit to a pitcher along with a bottle of dry white wine, a 12-ounce can of light beer, and ¼ cup of Simple Syrup. Stir everything together and then refrigerate for at least an hour, or up to 24 hours.
When you’re ready to serve, add a few ice cubes to each glass and then pour in the sangria. Garnish each glass with a piece of fruit, if desired. Enjoy!.Resource
How to make sangria with herbs
For a refreshing sangria that emphasizes the flavors of summer fruits and herbs, mix up this recipe. It features a blend of white wine, brandy, orange juice, and sugar, with a array of fresh fruits and herbs stirred in. Choose a good quality, dry white wine for this sangria recipe–a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Gris is ideal. And be sure to use fresh, ripe fruit–it will make all the difference in the flavor of your finished drink.
To make the sangria, combine the wine, brandy, orange juice, and sugar in a large pitcher or jar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then add in the fruits and herbs. For the fruits, we like a mix of nectarines, peaches, and strawberries. And for the herbs, we love using a combination of mint, basil, and thyme. But feel free to use any combination of fruits and herbs that you like. Let the sangria sit for at least an hour (preferably longer) so that the flavors have a chance to mingle and develop. Serve over ice, with a little bit of the fruit and herb mixture stirred in. Enjoy!
