Can tou make SANGRIA with cabernet wine? Most recipes call for a dry wine, would that work?

Thanks!!!!!!!!

Sangría, like fondue is one of those things that are a product of necessity that for some reason becomes iconic and gains stature. The original Sangría from Spain is made with the CHEAPEST red wine you can find, lime juice, sugar, club soda or water and some tangy, old, mushy fruit and if the fruit is nasty enough you need to add a strong liqueur like vodka or brandy. If the flavor is not ‘spicy’ enough, you can add cinnamon. In essence the Sangría is meant to be cheap. So in order to make a ‘good’ Sangría don’t spend over $15 a gallon. If for some reason you want to make an ‘top shelf’ Sangria, then use Rose’s Lime juice add a dash of sweetener in 3/4 of a glass of soda with ice and mix, then CAREFULLY add some medium quality red wine (If you spend more than $10 in the wine you are wasting your wine) on top so it floats, garnish with some freshly minced peaches and maybe strawberries.

So to answer your question, yes you can use Cabernet; but remember you are putting lime juice AND sugar so why spoil a good bottle. . . Believe me, it won’t make the Sangria any better.
