Sangria is one of my favourite ways to celebrate sunny summer days!
A mix of wine, chopped summer fruit and spirits, there are so many refreshing combinations to make.
So, I’ve rounded up 8 must make summer sangria recipes for you to try friends!
Sangria is a go-to summer cocktail for me because it’s extremely easy to make. Generally you can use ingredients you already have on hand to mix up a batch. Or, just plan a little bit ahead of time for some mouthwatering flavour combinations.
What is sangria typically made of?
Wine: If you’re using white wine, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc are often used as they are more dry and crisp which goes nicely with the remaining ingredients. If you’re using red wine, Pinot Noir or Grenacha are commonly used
Chopped Fruit: Fresh, chopped fruit is the way to go as it brings the most flavour to the sangria mixture. However, in a pinch you could use some frozen fruit too which will also act to keep the sangria colder too.
Spirits: Spirits like gin, brandy and rum are sometimes used when complementary to the sangria ingredients.
Simple Syrup or Juice: Depending on the recipe, adding a fruit-forward simple syrup or fruit juice can add a bit of sweetness to the mixture to bring all the flavours together.
Sparkling Water or Kombucha: Sometimes sparkling water or kombucha is used to lighten up the sangria or make the batch go a bit further.
Sangria is an easy big-batch cocktail you can make in a pitcher; that’s why it’s perfect for the summertime. So let’s make some sangria friends!
