My Aunt and Uncle gave me a bunch of wine a few Christmases ago, I used some of it to make some Gluhwein or Mulled Wine and I still have a few bottles left. I don’t really drink that often, I know how is it still left?! It had been a rough week last week and I thought that Sangria was a great way to relax and also use up some of that wine. What I love about Sangria is you really just pour it all together and just let it sit in the fridge and get better. I am also more of a white wine person but with Sangria it makes me like red.
OPTIONAL: Sugar or sugar subtitute – Depending on the quality of wine you may need to add sugar, add 1/3 cup at a time to taste. I ended up using a cup of Truvia for the whole batch.
Directions: Add all the ingredients to a large container leaving out the Sprite or 7 UP. Once you are ready to serve fill a glass halfway, then add the Sprite/7 UP to taste.
Enjoy, in your freshly raked lawn with a good book, or doing whatever else. 😉
- 1.5 Liters of Red Wine ~ 750ml of White Wine ~ 1 cup of Smirnoff Orange Vodka ~ 1 cup of Apple Juice ~ Fruit of Choice: I used 1 cup of frozen Strawberries ~ 1 cup of frozen Peaches ~ 1 cup of frozen cherries ~ Sprite or 7 UP
- OPTIONAL: Sugar or sugar subtitute - Depending on the quality of wine you may need to add sugar, add ⅓ cup at a time to taste. I ended up using a cup of Truvia for the whole batch.
- Add all the ingredients to a large container leaving out the Sprite or 7 UP. Once you are ready to serve fill a glass halfway, then add the Sprite/7 UP to taste.
Nothing quite like fresh sangria – I love that you mixed a little white in with the red – so yummy! xo, Biana
It is so good, and I like coming home and grabbing a glass. Much needed this week!
Sounds good, Kerry. Sangria season is close. 🙂 Cheers!
Every season is Sangria season! No?! Cheers!
Yum! Hope it was delicious. I love sangria!
it was delicious and plenty left over for the week! I might need it the way this week is going.
can i look at a freshly mowed lawn that i did not mow? 😉 love sangria and makes me think of warm summer days. or a tuesday!
My grass is not really grass it’s all brown and moldy but I did rake it at least. Every day of the week is an excuse for Sangria!! 😉
That looks good. I just started using Truvia after years of sweet n low!
Our local winery has a superb red sangria that does not even need fruit. It is very full-bodied. I often add
frozen berries to my white wines. Sometimes I drink too much wine!!!
Enjoy your day!
Love, SMD’s Momma
Truvia is so much better for you. Haha! You can never drink too much wine. Okay maybe you can, but still a nice alternative.
omg I neeeeed this!
Hope you try it. I snuck a few sips last night when i took pics! Oops.
yum yum yum. I need some sangria in my life right now lol. I will be making this ASAP!
I think we all could use some Sangria in our lives! Haha!
Sangria is so easy but the fruit makes it feel festive. Yum!
It really does and it is like a power punch of booze! 😉
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm perfect for enjoying dinner or a night cap on the patio 🙂
Yes, absolutely. I made enough to enjoy for a few days to come! 😉
Stop tempting me!!! haha. I cannot wait to try this in 6 weeks!
Haha!! Soon enough girlfriend!!
This sounds delicious. I love sangria!
Thank you! Sangria is such a great way to enjoy wine!
you had me at sangria… yum!
Right?! You really can’t go wrong!
Love me a refreshing sangria in the summer! Looks super easy!
It is so easy, just pour and sip!
I haven’t had sangria in awhile and now I really REALLY want some! This looks delicious!
It’s so good, and it can easily sit in the fridge for a few days or weeks if you leave out the fruit.
I would love this drink. Love adding a bunch of fruit to my sangria. I should service something like this at our next party since it makes a pretty big batch.
It’s perfect for parties, you can easily double or triple the recipe.
For years and years, I just bought a bottle of sangria, and then I learned to make my own, and never looked back! I love all the combos you can find! Yours looks so tasty, and refreshing!
Thank you. Yes, the combinations are endless and so much better making your own!
Yuuum!!! I have just started getting into sangria within the last year or so. I didn’t really like it before but now I am really liking it. Thanks for sharing.
It makes some wine more palatable. I don’t really like red wine but with Sangria I love it.
This sound delicious! Every time I think to make a sangria it’s too late for it to be really good by the time I need it.
The fun thing about Sangria is it can sit in the fridge just waiting for you.
This looks good. I’m a white wine drinker but with all the extras I think I would enjoy this!!!
Yes, I much prefer white wine but this is a little sweeter so it goes down easier.
I love a good sangria. This looks yummy with the addition of the orange vodka!
It kicked it up a notch for sure. Sangria is so nice especially this time of year!
YESS!! IT’s FINALLY sangria season! I’m going to try this out on my deck this weekend!!
Hope you like it! I am tempted for another glass!
So i’m not the biggest drinker around. I love my margarita’s with my chips and salsa, my bitch beer on hot summer nights & perhaps the occasional long island iced teas that get me into trouble. Mostly though, i’m much happier with an ice cold Dr. Pepper. But when you CAN’T have alcohol, all you do is craaaave it! And this drink is making my mouth water. I hate you.
haha! but I love you! 😉 Soon enough girly! It is such a nice light drink but packs a punch.
This looks so good!! I could go for some right now.
It was a rough day today and it really it the spot! 😉
Oh man. This recipe sounds pretty amazing! Apple and wine seems ideal.
Thank you. The apple really smoothed it out and made it lighter.
Yum! That flavor combination sounds soooo good, especially the orange vodka!
It really gives it an extra little kick.
Let me tell you I’m always up for a Sangria, thanks for the recipe!! sounds absolutely delicious and very easy!
It is so easy to make, and goes down smooth.
Girl you should have linked this up with Thursty Thursday!! This looks amazeballs!!!! If you think of it, stop by this Thursday and link it up!
I will have to next week. Thank you, I had a little more of it this weekend. 🙂
This sounds delicious!!
It was so good and nice to have a glass after a long work day!
I’m not a wine girl but apple berry sounds like a delicious combo!
I hated red wine till I tried Sangria and mulled wine! So good!
