I got terra kreta from greece. I don't think it is what you're talking about, but it's definitely better.

A lot of recipes call for added liquor, but it is usually rum. That just seems like it would bog things down. I think a sweet liqueur would give it just the right kick. You also wouldn't have to add any other sweetener. Triple sec is a good citrus choice - I know it makes margaritas great. I wonder how some sns limoncello would do. It might be too strong. I'm going to have to post that recipe soon. I'm out and need to make some more. I bet the Cointreau is fantastic. A lot of recipes call for added liquor, but it is usually rum.

Apparently the secret ingredient was Cointreau, and I don't know, but I'm not going to argue, because he is clearly the reigning king of sangria making in our household (granted, his sangrias would have to really suck for me to step in and take over because I like to let him keep the bar, and I take the kitchen). But really, you should try to get him to post his recipe. He put plums in it, and orange, lemon and maybe lime, and of course, cheap red wine. Now what was your question about olive oil? Kreta is the brand to find--don't know where all it's available, but it is the shit--the kind you will drink out of a glass and not freak out that you're drinking olive oil out of a glass. -xosara Well, you inspired Stephen to research sangria and I dare say he made the best ever sangria (at least the best I ever drank, and I’ve had a few in my time).
