As with most punches, sangria is incredibly versatile. Recipes call for everything from chopped pineapple and peaches, to apples and pears, to strawberries and sliced citrus. One good rule of thumb is to add fruits whose flavors are present in your wine. If your chosen bottle has strawberries on the nose, quarter some fresh ones.
Or you can use still fruit juice such as blood orange, grape or apple juice, mixed with a little soda water if you prefer a fizzy finish. You can use almost any fruit in sangria, although slices of orange or lemon are a common choice. He leaves it to steep in a sugared spice mix with cloves and cinnamon, meaning the fruit becomes semi-candied.
Use our recipe for peach sangria as a base for your ratio of ingredients. Go light on the added alcohol, so around one part spirit to five parts wine, depending on the strength of your hard spirit. When it comes to the mixer, try adding around a third of the amount of wine, so around ml of mixer for cl or two bottles of wine.
With fruit and garnishes, add according to taste. Are you a fan of sangria, or is it best left to the beach bars of the Costa del Sol? Subscriber club Reader offers More Good Food. Sign in.

Any recommendations on what brandy or rum to use? I made this exactly per the recipe except I threw the whole orange and apple in verses just half of each. I went with Tempranillo, brandy, and brown sugar. This is the best sangria I have ever had-ever. It is sweet and fruity and yesss so boozy! My summer drink is now in the pitcher. Cannot wait to try some other recipes from you.
Have a great summer. Way too heavy and just the wrong flavor. I was able to cover it up so it was passable but next time I will be using a Garnacha or even just a Cab. I substituted orange juice with pineapple juice because it was what I had, and it was so delicious!
Hey all. Typical MB recipe that is still awesome even when you have to do slight modifications. So nice that it was so simple and easy. Highly recommend you try this if you like sangria. Just uncorked a bottle of red on a warm spring evening, and realized I wanted something lighter. I was happy to see I had all of the ingredients on hand. Whipped it up in 5 minutes. Added a splash of Gran Marnier for good measure, and am now enjoying the most delicious treat!
I cut it with some lime seltzer for the bubbles. Going forward this will be my go-to recipe! The wine definitely influences the flavor of the end product.
Lauren, use any red wine you like! I have spent a lot of time all over Spain and honestly, the wine they use in sangria is often the cheapest.
Do as the Spanish do! I use Aldi wine, they actually have great reviews on several of their wine brands. I use some of the other flavors too but that Sangria is my favorite for a red sangria,. Even while I use the cheapest red wine available for my Sangria, I never had any complaints.
Teresa, the lovely old owner lady of a famous pub in Los Cristianos, Tenerife made the best Sangria, ever. She passed away decades ago and to this day I cherish her recipe. She mixed different fruit liquors with red wine, the juice of 2 oranges and added 1 slice as garnish.
Even after drinking every day at least 3 carafes meself, I never had hangover. Thanks Teresa, God bless your soul. It is starting to feel like spring so figured why not! I used blood orange and bourbon and a cab instead of a spanish wine in mine and it turned out delicious! Thank you for this recipe :. How would you recommending adjusting the recipe if I use a sweet red blend?
Omitting the sugar? This was delicious!! The bottle of wine was an inexpensive merlot, but the overall flavor was wonderful. We need a bright spot in the midst of these quarantine days. Wonderful recipe! All the flavors blended so well together. This was such a great recipe! Thanks so much for sharing, love all your stuff :. Used entire apple and orange, plus added some strawberries.
The brandy really makes the flavor even better! Thanks for the recipe! Modifications: Pear instead of Apple Orange juice from the orange slices I used Pineapple juice — so amazing! I am no red wine fan. I stumbled across your recipe and I am so grateful I did. I followed it mostly. Added a lemon because the kids ate the last of the apples…. This is incredible and I will be making pitchers of this all summer!!!!
Thank you!!!! Very tasty and easy! I doubled the brandy used blackberry , used some just ok CA red wine blend we got as a gift and just a little simple syrup in place of sugar. Added apple, orange and some raspberries I had on hand. Thanks so much for the lovely review, Missy.
It was insanely easy and absolutely delicious. I tweaked it a little too my taste by adding crushed pineapples to my chopped apples and oranges. James Winery Sweet Country Red wine. I did use both brown and white sugar but for me that made it perfect. Wish I could add a pic of my drink? Thanks so much for the lovely review, Lesa. I have had an amazing sangria, it had foam on the top i was wondering?
What were their special ingredient to have this foamy sangria? This was delicious! I used an inexpensive bottle of pinot noir because my supermarket didnt have Spanish wine. It is very tasty and has been a hit every time!
In Spain they make a wine cooler with an inexpensive clear sweetened sparkling mixer called Casera, or any of many brands like it.
It is a gaseosa. It tastes like diet 7up but only has lemon flavor and not the lime. The only way I know how to get it in the U.
It only took a few days to get two 1. I love sangria but had never made it. I made this yesterday for a holiday party, and it was a huge hit. I love how simple it was to put together. The only thing I altered was a bit less sugar. Thanks Dana! And you can use the serving size adjuster just above the ingredients to adjust the measurements.
Love Sangria…especially Berry Sangria which I had with lunch yesterday! I plan to make them at home using your recipe! Add some light red Pinot noir,a touch of agave syrup,plenty of fruit and some brandy or I like a more spiced flavoured rum? Do I have to let the sangria for some hours after I combine all the ingredients or I can serve it immediately? I am hoping to make this tomorrow for my Moms 60th birthday bash!
I have 2 bottles of Costco Sangria, will already made sangria wine work for this recipe?? Just made this Sangria and It is delicious! I left the sugar out because I wanted to taste it without sugar first. I made ice cubes with the remaining orange juice and the next day instead of ice, added the frozen OJ ice cubes. I also added a little maple syrup as some sweetener was necessary. What can I say? A very delicious sangria and I like the fact that there was no diluting it with water or soda etc.
The fruit was very potent:. Thank you for the recipe. Will definitely make it the same way again. I used a bottle of Apothik red and a Rioja.
Next time will use lighter Spanish wine as suggested above. Easy to make and very refreshing!! Making it again for a party per request of some guests!! Was a hit?? This recipe is delicious.
I followed the recipe exactly with one exception. I did not have an apple so I used cherries instead and also threw in a little lemon and lime. It really does taste like a traditional sangria. I had a friend over for dinner and made this for her. She travelled to Spain last year and said it reminded her so much of the sangria she had there. I made this the night before with two bottles of red and the requisite brandy. My pitcher was full so was only able to get about A quarter cup of OJ in.
I added oranges and apples. Hi There! Would this be safe to sit out overnight? I want to make it tonight for tomorrow night. How long did you leave it in the large 2. I am thinking of making this tonight for tomorrow night. I may never add simple syrup or other sweeteners to red sangria again. Thanks, Dana! The first time I had sangria was in Barcelona many years ago.
This recipe brought it right back. I only ended up with half a cup of O. Very easy to make and delicious. We doubled the recipe and added peaches, blackberries, cantaloupe, and cherries since we did not have apples and oranges on hand. The flavors and fruit expand more the longer it sits in the fridge. Highly recommend it! I made this sangria for a benefit that my organization was hosting.
It was a hit. I made two gallons worth 6times the recipe that was made with a total of 6 bottles of wine. I followed the recipe to the tee- except I topped the sangria off with a bit more brandy. I used a cheap Spanish wine found at the grocery store that worked very well and I used Paul Masson brandy. This is my go to sangria recipe. I like to add about 2 cups of ice to make sure it is really cold—plus I just like it watered down a bit.
People really like this recipe and agree that it packs a punch. Many people have never had sangria made with brandy it seems like a lot of people are more accustomed to having sprite in their recipe. Great items to bring to a party when you want something special. Tried it yesterday to the letter of the recipe. Was a dee-lish hit with my party pals. Is this recipe for a 2-gallon dispenser?
Hi Danielle, this recipe makes about 4 cups, so you will probably want to make a batch 8 times this size to fill a 2-gallon dispenser. Made this with one full apple, one full orange and also added a full lemon all sliced as per recipe skipped the sugar as I dont like it overly sweet anyways and it was awesome!
I used apricot brandy and it was perfect. The bottle of wine I had was a full bodied fruity with notes of blackberry and raspberry in it and I liked it more in this sangria recipe than drinking it on its own! Are you referring to a different one? Let us know and we are happy to help! Wine is Gluten free.
Hayley might want to check what the alcohol base is for the brandy. Rum is totally GF so she might want to use that to be shure. I used an inexpensive Merlot, made the recipe as written and it turned out great! I think Sangria is one of the most easily adaptable recipes on the planet. The first time I had it was in Faro Portugal after a 20 hr flight. It was fantastic, and wherever we ordered it in Portugal it was a little different, but fantastic. This recipe is a great base, but use what you have.
I added strawberries and pineapple to this one and some Triple Sec to sweeten. Thanks for the great reminder of Portugal. Dana, Thank you for this very simple and tasty recipe!
Fabulous recipe! Just like the one you have in Spain in a hot summer day. I made a fruit salad blackberries, oranges, strawberries, kiwis and grapes had bananas too but I took those out for a party but made way too much so I decided to try using the booze components and see how it would be.
My hubby now wants me to make extra cut up fruit for every event! Thank you for sharing! How long would this sangria last? Is it better to let the fruit infuse? Or make and serve? So excited to try this!! This one could easily have been my long lost recipe, as it was exactly as I remembered.
Made this to go with a fajita feast, and we loved it. Made with a decent quality Rioja. Hi, looks good…. Is that sacrilegious, lol? Good luck! This recipe was great. I have never made sangria before but it was a hit! I doubled the recipe, used rum, and everyone drank the whole bowl for christmas dinner. Definitely a keeper! Wish me luck! Just made this for Thanksgiving dinner! Added a bit more brandy, as suggested, but definitely pretty good!
This is my favorite fall sangria that I always come back to have already made twice this fall. Love the fresh squeezed OJ and I use apple brandy. I top off with a little bit of seltzer. Thanks for this amazing recipe that is a crowd pleaser and SO easy! We made this recipe for party this weekend times 6, or 6 bottles of Anciano Tempranillo wine along with Christian Brothers brandy, in a 2. We added the full dose of sugar plus some extra orange juice to just top off, and it filled the jug completely without ice to marinate.
We then transferred to a punch bowl with frozen fruit ring to keep it chilled water plus fruit maxed out, made in a bundt pan , then added ice to each glass when served. The presentation was beautiful! My husband and I ARE sangria lovers and thoroughly enjoyed this recipe!
I wanted to add a photo here but no option. Tried it! I did taste it and added a bit of sugar and a tiny bit of rhum ; hehe. Everyone loves this. All the recipes online with 12 ingredients are just unnecessary. I plan on using Tempranillo wine and Blackberry Brandy with your existing recipe.
My concern is too much sweetness…. I think that should work, Brian! I just finished making a double batch. Easy to make and a great recipe… I tasted I and added a bit more of the brown sugar and the rest of the brandy and it taste great.
I have it in the fridge to cool and will see how great it taste tomorrow. Any ideas? I still have one… :. You can google it and see pictures. I still have a very little one from when I lived in Spain years ago. Since you are very familiar with sangria, would you mind telling us what kind of alcohol and sugar you use? We were in both northern and southern Spain but the sangria was always the same — always delicious!
Perfect blend of smooth, fruity flavors with a full bodied booziness. This recipe is 5 stars and will be a favorite to anyone who loves sangria. We are so glad you were able to taste a little bit of your trip to Spain in this sangria, Jen! Was checking out a good sangria recipe for our restaurant in NYC. I came across this one, and man, oh man!
So easy to make and delicious. Always love looking your recipes UP. I made this with rum because we had no brandy on hand. I did not like it. Wish I tasted it before adding the rum because I bet it was good without it. Three years after the other comments — but I have made this twice in the past two weeks. It is a total winner and perfect for summer cook-outs. Everyone raves about how good it is. I usually divide the brandy quantity into brandy and cointreau.
Keep refrigerated, add a splash of soda and some ice when serving. I remove the fruit from it after 24 hours so it keeps a little longer in the fridge. Just watch out, it catches up with you quickly! We drank Sangria every night on the beach in Barcelona. They offer it as traditional, which compares to your recipe, or with a sparkling white wine. I search for a recipe hoping to find the best wine to use. Any idea on what wine to use to make the sparkly version? We were in Seville in the summer, , and we drank pitchers of this wonderful, satisfying drink.
In one restaurant, they added canned fruit cocktail I recognized the sad grapes and even it was delicious. Your recipe is a righteous reproduction that I will enjoy now that I am back in the states.
I was in Spain for 5 days. Every day I was having Sangria prepared in a traditional way. It is really refreshing and tasty. Made this for a Christmas party and followed the recipe as written and it was fantastic! My daughter had been to Spain in May and said this Sangria was exactly what she had in Barcelona!
It will be my go to for sure! Belated thanks for a recipe that had my friends raving and a bit tipsy this summer. I made it multiple times, using different combinations of wine and fruit, and it was always outstanding. That always happens. But we actually made this tonight and it is amazing! This recipe was really good! I love this recipe! I made it with a Spanish Monastrell like you recommended above, but I found one that is vegan and made with organic grapes!!
Your Sangri recipe looks so amazingly simple, but for most recipes making a larger quantity is more complicated than just doubling or tripling the ingredients.
So, now I want to make a large batch. What changes would you suggest to make a bathtub full? Made this recipe about a year ago and absolutely loved it!! Came across it again today and you know what that means?! I made this drink for Thanksgiving I was asked to again make it for Christmas eve and I did. I am now asked to make it again for Thanksgiving I will.
My first batch was with Rioja.
