Classic Red Wine Sangria Recipe

March 4, 2014 by Katie

This is a little late, but something magical happened on Saturday-sangria!

Red Wine Sangria Recipe

I made sangria for the third? time ever, and it was ridiculous…and addicting.ย Not sharing the recipe would be a sin. I’ve seen sooo many interesting sangria recipes — white wine, holiday-themed, kiwis thrown in — it’s kind of awesome how much potential sangria holds. Since I’m not an experienced sangria drinker/maker, I decided to stick with the classic red wine theme, and I’ve finalized my go-to recipe from now on.

This has a base of red wine (I used merlot), and gets a nice citrus flavor from the lemon and orange. Then when you’re ready to serve it, it gets some more sweetness and flavor from some ginger ale. I thoroughly enjoy it.

Sangria

Warning: it’s hard to drink slowly and actually savor because it’s quite delightful, if I do say so myself. Check out the recipe below and let me know what you think!

  • 16 oz ginger ale

  1. Combine lemon and orange slices in a pitcher and gently muddle.

I recommend not muddling the ever living daylights out of the fruit because it’ll look a bit ugly when you’re done with it. I did it about halfway, so juice was extracted but a little pulp was still left…if that makes sense.

Classic Sangria

Enjoy!

      Do it! I’ve been really into Old Fashioneds lately as well, if you want to look into that. I don’t know if brandy is the traditional alcohol for it, but it would work. Here’s a recipe I found if you’re interested. (I like to add some ginger ale to that, too, so it’s not so harsh.)
