At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!

What Wine To Use In Sangria
We’re using red wine for this sangria, but it does matter what wine you pick for this drink.
We prefer Granache for a red sangria – it’s an inexpensive and delicious red wine from Spain that isn’t too overpowering, peppery, or bold.
Pinot noir or Rioja blends also work – look for bottles under $20 that you enjoy drinking on their own – but don’t use an expensive bottle since we’re adding more to the recipe.
