It's summer. Time for eating and Drinking outside. Any Moose wants Sangria recipes.
Although Any Moose enjoys Sangria, he has never made any himself and is planning some BBQ's this summer.
Found this post, which probably deserves its own refresher, but it's more about summer alky beverages in general.
I want Sangria. Share your best recipes. Recipes for larger groups of people 10ish would be great too.

i picked up a basic "white sangria" recipe from a cooking magazine a few years ago, and it's a standby now whenever the summer weather gets unbearable. key ingredients: champagne or club soda for bubbles, chardonnay for sweetness, peach schnapps for more syrupy sweetness, vodka for extra kick, dash of OJ and pineapple juice, sliced strawberries, kiwis, bananas.
serve well-chilled, over ice. YRMV (your ratios may vary).

Best answer: We've had great success with the sangria recipe from Cook's Illustrated. You can either get it from their site, if you have a subscription to their site, or here.

my white sangria recipe, which is always a hit:
cheap white wine (sweeter = better for this)
blueberries
peaches, nectarines and apricots
mint leaves
mix well in whatever quantities appeal to you, chill for a few hours (preferably overnight) before serving.

Best answer: My Spanish friend taught me this:
2 quarts orange juice
2 liters inexpensive red wine (good wine has too much body, is distracting)
sugar to taste (2-4 cups at least)
sliced fruit (oranges, strawberries, apples, etc)
That's how her family makes it, and my friends have all loved it :)

Equal parts cheap red wine and Orangina. Add pieces of orange and apple to convince people that you put more work into it.
