If you've never had Sangria before you are in for a treat. I adore wine but it can be so fun to add seasonal fruits (plus a sweetener). I love how Sangria can be super informal, like fruit punch. This beverage conjures up images of laid back beach days or casual back yard cook outs. Here are are two super simple variations of Sangria that anybody can make and enjoy!
Plum and Grape Red Sangria, makes one large pitcher.
Needed: 2 bottles of red wine (any kind you prefer), 4 cups juice (I used pomegranate, but you could also use grape or blueberry), 4 sliced plums, 3-4 handfuls sliced grapes and a few cubes of watermelon.
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. Serve with a little ice. Feel free to eat the fruit as you go, it gets better the longer it soaks!
White Raspberry and Citrus Sangria, makes one large pitcher.
Needed: 2 bottles of white wine (any kind you prefer), 3 cups orange juice, 2 sliced oranges, 2-3 handfuls of white raspberries.
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher. Serve with a little ice. Feel free to eat the fruit as you go, it gets better the longer it soaks!
You can add any kinds of fresh fruits you have one hand, so feel free to experiment. Enjoy! Emma
sounds good!
i work at a spanish restaurant where we make our own sangria, i absolutely love it!
even the ‘special’ one, with a bit of 43 and spanish brandy is lovely!

Thank you for your posting! I think your post is very helpful for me.
yum yum yum – this would be delicious for the weekend!
I fell in love with sangria during my summer abroad in Spain. So many good memories! I spike mine with brandy (peach brandy, for instance) since the fruit & juice & ice tone down the wine so much.
I love Sangria a lot but haven’t done it for ages now. We had very hot days lately so Sangria would be perfect, however, these days are gone now. At least for two weeks….
Okay I’m not fan of wine but this looks delicious !
nom nom nom this sounds really good!
look so yummy…i had never ahd it before time to try something new

That red sangria looks to die for! I love red wine especially, and with plums it sounds amazing! I make my own sangria a few times each summer, so I’m definitely going to try this recipe 🙂
mmm, looks so good! and i luhhhh sangria. ah, memories. 🙂 thanks!
Never had white wine sangria before, but it looks so delicious I’m gonna try it for sure!
sangría recipe has wine, juice, fruits, sugar, brandy and cinnamon… some people change brandy for rum, others with triple sec. you can also add some orange or lemon soda to the mix.
it has to be very cold so it’s important to keep it in the fridge for an hour (minimum) before serving, then you don’t have to put that much ice cause it takes the flavor away.
with cava (spanish champagne) is also delicious 😉
