What is sangria?

Sangria recipes are fairly popular because they’re a delicious combination of fresh fruit and wine. The original concept hails from Spain. However, the rules are pretty flexible as far as how you make it. You can use just about any type of wine. Red, white, and rose are all appropriate.

There are a few common ingredients in a sangria recipe. Consequently, if you’re making some at home, a typical sangria includes the following.

Wine
Sweetener (examples: sugar, simple syrup)
Slices or chunks of fruit (examples: berries, citrus, and apples)
Sparkling water or club soda
Fruity alcohol (examples: schnapps, flavored vodka, cognac, brandy)

The recipe below makes one glass, so feel free to adjust our strawberry sangria red wine recipe as needed.

For Strawberry Lemonade Sangria

1/2 cup red wine, chilled
1/8 cup ginger ale at room temperature (or seltzer if you don’t want the sweetness of soda)
2 Tbsp lemon juice (either fresh squeezed or bottled)
1 Tbsp strawberry jelly (or jam)
2 strawberries, sliced or chopped

To Garnish Sparkling Strawberry Sangria

1/2 strawberry
lemon slice

Process for Strawberry Sangria Red Wine Drink

In a vessel (a Pyrex glass measure works great!) combine the ginger ale, jelly, and lemon juice.
Stir until the jelly is thoroughly mixed.
Place chopped berries into a glass.
Pour the ginger ale mixture on top of the berries.
Then pour the red wine into the glass (use more or less if desired).
Stir, if desired, although pouring should stir the sangria recipe enough.
Garnish with lemon slice and strawberry.
Serve and enjoy!

Sangria Recipe Modifications

Strawberry Wine Sangria – For more strawberry flavor, replace the red wine with strawberry wine for a delicious take. This is perfect if you adore berries!
Sparkling Strawberry Sangria – If you truly want your drink to sparkle, use 1/2 red wine and 1/2 club soda. A 1:1 ratio would work well instead of the recommended amounts above for a fizzier cocktail.
Simply Raspberry Lemonade Sangria – Not keen on strawberries, or want a more flavorful berry? Substitute raspberries for strawberries instead for a delicious raspberry lemonade sangria beverage.
Pink Lemonade Sangria – Skip the lemon juice and ginger ale, and use 1/4 cup pink lemonade instead. It will be a tad sweeter, but oh so delicious! Pink lemonade sangria would be perfect for a summer wedding shower.
