Test
Kitchen Tips :
When
she sent us this recipe, Carolyn suggested another variation: peach and
raspberry. Substitute peach schnapps or raspberry liquor for the melon liquor,
and use fresh peaches and raspberries instead of the watermelon and
blackberries.
Carolyn
also suggested adding sprigs of fresh herbs to the sangria. Mint, basil, lemon
verbena and lemon balm are her recommendations. Here in the test kitchen, we
think rosemary and lavender are also delicious.
