Red Sangria Recipe
This refreshing Spanish red sangria recipe is the absolute best! Citrus, berries, and brandy make this boozy punch the ultimate party drink.
Prep: 10 minutes
Total: 6 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bottle dry red wine such as Rioja, Garnacha, or another Spanish red
- ¼ cup brandy* or 2 ounces gin both are good! gin is dryer
- 1 orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 1 8-ounce can diced pineapples with juice
- ½ cup berries: sliced strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Ginger ale or your bubbly of choice: sparkling water; sparkling wine
Instructions
- Pour the wine into a large pitcher. Add the brandy.
- Cut lemon, lime, and orange into wedges. Squeeze the juice into the pitcher, then toss in the juiced fruit.
- Stir in pineapple, berries, and sugar. Chill for 6 hours or overnight.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice. Give the sangria a big stir. Serve over ice with a splash of ginger ale.
Notes
- *Since there isn’t much brandy in the recipe, you really can use any kind you like. If you are going for the most authentic Spanish sangria, use brandy de Jerez, which is Spanish.
- Nutritional information is an estimate and is calculated with brandy, but without ginger ale.
- TO STORE: Cover and refrigerate red sangria and use it within 5 days. (Use plastic wrap if your pitcher doesn’t have a lid.) Expect the flavors to change a bit with each passing day as the fruit continues to infuse into the wine.
