3x the tastiest sangria

There are very few alcoholic drinks (OK, apart from wine of course) that I really like. But when I find myself in Spanish company, I can go quite wild over a jug of sangria. Bittersweet, I know. Life-threatening, I know, but it is the absolute best. And believe it or not, I am most looking forward to the bottom. Because as a real sangria drinker, you also eat the leftover fruit from the glass. Extra dangerous. Since a trip to our southern neighbours not on the schedule for now, I'll just dive into the kitchen myself this weekend.

And if I were you, I would. You just make these three sangrias yourself and they taste almost as good as those under the Spanish sun.
