It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays and the festive season calls for merry celebrations and delightful libations. What better way to toast to the festivities than with a refreshing glass of holiday sangria? Check out this three-step recipe that will have you raising your glass and spreading holiday cheer when the time comes around. Get ready to indulge in the vibrant flavors of fruit, spices, and a touch of holiday magic!

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

To start off, gather the following ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of red wine (preferably a fruity variety like Merlot or Rioja)
  • 1 cup of cranberry juice
  • 1/2 cup of orange liqueur (such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier)
  • 1/4 cup of brandy
  • 1/4 cup of fresh orange juice
  • 1/4 cup of simple syrup (made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water)
  • Assorted fresh fruits (e.g., oranges, apples, cranberries, pomegranate seeds)
  • Cinnamon sticks and star anise for garnish

Step 2: Mix and Infuse

In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, cranberry juice, orange liqueur, brandy, fresh orange juice, and simple syrup. Stir well to ensure all the flavors are incorporated. Then, add in the fresh fruits, such as sliced oranges, diced apples, whole cranberries, and juicy pomegranate seeds. Give the mixture a gentle stir, allowing the fruits to infuse their flavors into the sangria. For an extra touch of holiday charm, drop in a few cinnamon sticks and star anise.

Step 3: Chill and Serve

Once everything is mixed and infused, cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and develop a harmonious taste. Before serving, give the sangria a final stir to ensure that all the goodness is evenly distributed. Fill individual glasses with ice cubes and pour the chilled sangria over them, making sure to include some of the fruit pieces in each glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and star anise for that extra festive touch.

It’s almost impossible to find a liquor store that doesn’t sell sangria, but there’s something special about making your own. Wine is one of the main ingredients in this traditional Spanish drink and this brief guide will help you pick the right type for your homemade sangria.

Red Sangria

Red sangria is the first thing that comes to mind when someone mentions this beverage. Garnacha, Pinot Noir, and Rioja are some of the best wines used for this variety, especially when mixed with red barriers, oranges, limes, and grape, with some brandy added to the mix.

Rosé Sangria

Rosé is not as popular as red sangria, but it’s worth giving it a shot if this happens to be your favorite type of wine. When it comes to fruits you’re going to use when making this variety, nectarines, peaches, oranges, green apples, and pineapple are your best bet.

White Sangria

Just like rosé sangria, white sangria is a popular summer drink, and it can be made with Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, or the traditional Portuguese Albariño wine. You can use the same types of fruits that you would usually add to your rosé sangria, with a splash of apple brandy.

Summer’s not complete without a pitcher of sangria. Ideal for parties or date night, sangria is a crowd pleaser and it’s always a hit. The mix of wine, herbs, and fruits, is really refreshing and it’s a must-have during this time of year. Even though it’s easy to make, there are ways to make it even more delicious. Here’s how to take your sangria to the next level.

Wine

Regardless of if you choose rose, white, red, or bubbly, make sure it’s a bottle you’d drink on its own. The wine doesn’t need to be expensive, but it should be something you’d enjoy.

Fruits and Herbs

When deciding which fruits and herbs to add to your wine, choose ones that are complementary to the wine. For example, a crispy white pairs well with melons and tropical fruits. Make sure your fruit is ripe and juicy. In regards to herbs, make sure not to bruise them or have them sitting in the sangria for too long or they’ll lose their flavor.

Booze

In addition to wine, some sangria recipes have other liquors and liqueurs like vodka or brandy, which add depth. If you want the flavor of liqueur without adding too much alcohol, top the pitcher with seltzer or club soda before serving.

Sangria is one of our go-to summer drinks as it’s super refreshing and it showcases all of the amazing summer fruit. If you’re looking to try some new variations of sangria, look no further as these will take your drink to the next level. Each of these sangrias starts with 1 bottle of wine, 2 cans of carbonated beverage, 1 cup fruit juice, and 1 cup of fruit-infused liquor.

Peach-Mango Sangria

This tropical sangria combines peach and mango. For the wine, go for a Chardonnay or Viognier and use tonic water or Sprite for the carbonated beverage. The fruit juice should be peach nectar, mango juice, or any tropical blend. For the liquor, let one cup of chopped peach and mango sit in brandy overnight or you can use peach schnapps.

Blueberry-Plum Sangria

Blueberries are the star in this sangria and you won’t need any juice for this recipe. Use Pinot Noir or Chianti wine, ginger ale or sparkling apple juice, and blueberry-plum infused liquor. Compete the drink by adding two sliced plums.

Watermelon-Raspberry Sangria

The tartness of the raspberries perfectly offsets the sweetness of the watermelon. For the wine use a dry rose, Sprite or tonic water, pink lemonade, and watermelon-raspberry infused liquor.
