Description

This Fruity Red Sangria Recipe is the ultimate party drink—refreshing, vibrant, and packed with juicy fruit flavors. Made with red wine, brandy, citrus, and fresh fruit, it’s perfect for summer gatherings or holidays.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, or Merlot)
  • 1/2 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau)
  • 1/4 cup sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 lime, thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, diced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
  • 12 cups sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
  • Ice cubes, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a large pitcher, stir together red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Add sliced orange, lemon, lime, diced apple, and berries. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld.
  4. Just before serving, add sparkling water or soda for a fizzy finish.
  5. Serve chilled over ice, with fruit in each glass.

Notes

For a sweeter sangria, add more sugar or use soda instead of sparkling water. Experiment with seasonal fruits like peaches, pineapple, or pomegranate for a unique twist.
