For a sweeter sangria, add a tablespoon or two of simple syrup or agave nectar to the pitcher. Experiment with different types of fruit, such as peaches, raspberries, or blueberries. Stone fruits like plums and cherries also work well. If you prefer a less sweet sangria, use club soda or sparkling water instead of lemon-lime soda. For a stronger sangria, add a splash of brandy or orange liqueur. To prevent the sangria from becoming watered down, freeze some of the fruit and use it as ice cubes. Make sure to use high-quality red wine for the best flavor. A young, fruity red wine is ideal. Adjust the amount of rum to your preference. You can also substitute with another spirit, such as brandy or vodka.
