Notes

For best flavor, keep unused components separate until just before serving. Chill your champagne or sparkling wine before mixing to keep the sangria refreshing. Feel free to adjust the amount of limoncello to suit your taste. Experiment with different fruits like peaches, oranges, or blueberries. For added sweetness, add a little simple syrup.
