Hello All,
I want to emulate a Spanish Sangria...but Mead Style! A traditional Spanish Sangria is made with red wine, rum, orange juice, oranges, lemons, limes and sugar....so here is my idea for my recipe:
My theory behind all of this is that I needed to create rum (Dark Belgium Candy and Wood Chips), I needed to make a red wine (Sweet Grapes and Bordeaux Yeast) and then I needed all the other crap that goes in a Sangria. Does this seem like a stretch? Any suggested changes? I want to brew this up this weekend, so any help would be great!
