Reviews
I made mine a day ahead, I was concerned about the grapefruit peel bitterness being too much. I should have followed my instinct and either omitted it or peeled it. The result after overnight sitting has overwhelming bitterness on the back end. And I like grapefruit! I added quite a bit more syrup, to try to tame the bitterness but not have an overall mouth effect of too sweet to start, then too bitter to end. I’ll try this recipe again, but have it within a few hours of macerating the fruit.
Delish!!!! Made it for a BBQ over Labor Day weekend. Everyone LOVED it. I doubled the fruit, not necessary though. I kept adding bottles of wine without adding the other liquids as the sangria disappeared. It was good both ways, but since it was such a hit, in the future, I’ll be prepared and have the other liquids ready as well. Thanks, Guy!
