This is not a liqueur

It sounds tasty, but it's not a liqueur, cordial, or anything like one.

You make liqueurs, in general, by adding flavorer, like strawberries, to a spirit, like vodka, and letting this sit for about two weeks. All the flavor gets pulled from the strawberries into the vodka. Then you strain out the strawberries and add a sweetener, like sugar syrup or honey, and let it sit for at least a month to mellow out. You can add things like cinnamon sticks, allspice berries, etc. at the beginning to enhance the end result.

A better way to do the Sangria is to get some already made Sangria (I prefer Yago Sangria myself), and slice lemons, limes and tangerines into it, then let all this sit in the fridge a couple of days.
It's very good.

Real sangria recipe

At our restaurant we make really good red sangria by combining;

one bottle of wine,
1/4 bottle of brandy,
1 cup sugar,
2 1/2 cups frozen peaches, and
2 1/2 cups frozen mangoes.
Stir and then let the alcohol steep in the sugar and fruit overnight while refrigerating.

We sell so much of this stuff, it is retarded. Especially during the summer time. You can experiment by adding more or less fruit and brandy and also different types of fruit and experiment with different types of wine and brandy figure out what you like the best. This recipe is delicious as is though.
