Hey, Reader!
I love sangria, but so may people overlook it for summer sipping! When most people hear sangria, they just think of the iconic red wine version (delicious), but there are SO MANY other options.
Sangria is ideal for summer because...
- It's easy. These recipes will give you a starting point, but use what you have on-hand. If you don't have an ingredient it won't make or break the end result.
- Make it ahead. Prep it before the celebration kicks off, then chill until you're ready to serve to save yourself time.
- It's made for a crowd. Since sangria is a big batch drink, you won't have to play bartender and can enjoy the festivities.
Grab your wine, spices and fruit and let's go!
peach sangria
Juicy summer peaches give this summer sangria the most incredible fruity flavor. It's an easy recipe that comes together in just a few steps, but is just the thing to wow any crowd.
frozen sangria
This icy version of the classic recipe is the perfect summer sipper. You can use any fruit you like which makes the flavor options unlimited! It's the best companion for the dog days of summer.
watermelon sangria
It doesn't get much more summery than a perfectly ripe watermelon. Add in white wine and lemon and you're left with this bright, fruity and ultra-quaffable sipper.
strawberry rosé sangria
Made with fresh berries and rosé wine, strawberry rosé sangria is a succulent, shareable, summer cocktail. This sweet and swanky pink drink can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion.
white wine sangria
Lemonade, slices of fresh lemons and limes, and a few mint leaves pair beautifully with a bright white wine to make the most refreshing sangria. This easy white-wine sangria recipe is the best way to cool off on a hot summer day.
I hope that one of these recipes finds its way to your next summer gathering!
