- Modifications: If you like your sangria less sweet and more on the tart side, you can leave out the triple sec and cut the honey in half (you can also omit the honey simple syrup - you'll have one less symbolic ingredient in the mix). For a sparkly sangria, add 2 cups of ginger ale to the mix and stir just prior to serving.
- Modifications
- Non-Alcoholic Mocktail Version: Substitute a bottle of red/purple grape juice for the wine and omit the brandy and triple sec. Use kosher grape juice if keeping kosher.
