(More customer reviews)You just can't beat this for the price. The set arrived with no broken pieces which is always good. The pitcher is of a good thickness, and a really nice attractive design. It is a tall pitcher that rounds out a bit at the base. Due to it's height it may not fit well on many of your fridge shelves. The height is 11-1/4" from base to lip. It is not super thick but not extremely fragile either. As some other reviewers I think have said there is a fairly obvious seem down the front of the pitcher where the glass was joined and I would guess this is an area you don't want to impact too often.
I mixed up some sangria in this and it looks as good as it tastes in this attractive pitcher. Easily enough room for a full bottle of wine and any other juices/liquors/fruits you add to your sangria mix. The 76 ounce capacity is a definite plus if you ad a lot of extra fruits juices and liqours in your sangria.
The glasses are a nice bonus. They are basically 10 ounces to the top of the glass, so figure you can fill them to about 8 ounces comfortably plus a couple pieces of fruit. If you add liquor to your Sangria this makes a nice sized refreshing and potent beverage.
Here is a great sangria recipe I found on line and modified slightly. It's a great base to work from. Enjoy.
*1/2 cup brandy
*1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate or ¼ cup lemon juice
*1/3 cup orange juice
*1 (750 milliliter) bottle your favorite red wine
*1/2 cup triple sec
*1 lemon, sliced into rounds
*1 orange, sliced into rounds
*1 lime, sliced into rounds
*1/4 cup white sugar (optional)
*8 maraschino cherries (optional)
*Add or substitute fruit as available
*Sub rum if desired for brandy or go half and half
*Add peach schnapps or sub for triple sec or half and half
*2 cups ginger ale or 7-up
Mix everything but the ginger ale in the picther and put in the fridge for at least 6-8 hours. The flavors really mature the longer it sits. Add ginger ale if desired just before serving.
