Serve this mixture with cold sparkling water at a 3/1 ratio
Russ:
I place bottles of sangria on ice along with 250 ml bottles of mineral water .I also have available decorative serving jugs. This makes mixing a simple matter of opening one bottle of sangria and mixing it with one bottle of sparkling water in a jug. Makes for very festive parties in spite of the served beverage being only about 8-9% alcohol.
Serving 8 ounce drinks is about the equivalent of a glass of wine or bottle of beer
