Crossing things off my spring bucket list over here! While my bestie was visiting me recently, we whipped up a pitcher of spring sangria! I looove sangria, but I had never made it before. Luckily, I think it’s pretty foolproof. Take a bottle of wine, a juice or soda of some kind, and lots of fresh fruit. Mix it up, let it chill for awhile, and enjoy. I can’t wait to try more variations as the weather warms up! I see sangria and relaxing on the deck in my future….
Here’s what we used for our delicious spring sangria:
- A bottle of white wine (I used Pinot Grigio)
- 12 oz of Fresca (a can)
- A splash of peach nectar
- Pineapple
- Raspberries
- An apple (I used a Fuji)
First, prep and chop your apple and pineapple. Put these in the pitcher. Next, pour in the wine, Fresca, and peach nectar. Stir. I added the raspberries last and stirred gently because I didn’t want to crush them. Chill in the fridge for at least a few hours. (The longer the better.) Pour the sangria into glasses, and make sure to scoop out some of the delicious fruit! Have spoons available:)
Spring sangria is best enjoyed in a relaxed setting, so you can sip and enjoy life. I enjoyed mine with my mom and best friend, as we baked cinnamon rolls and played cards on a relaxed Saturday afternoon. I can’t wait for peaches to be in season so I can throw a bunch into a summer sangria!
What fruit & wine combo do you recommend for sangria?
