Classic Red Sangria
Red sangria is a sweet, boozy fruit punch thats looks fancy, feels festive, and it's great for making ahead of time. Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 750ml bottle of red wine
- ½ cup brandy
- 1 apple sliced
- 2 oranges one sliced and one juiced
- 1 lemon sliced
- optional: maple syrup, honey, or other sweetener of choice
- optional: sparkling water
- garnish with extra orange slices
Instructions
- Chop the fruit. Dice the apple, orange, and lemon into small pieces. Make sure to leave the peels on and toss them into the pitcher along with the orange juice.
- Mix and refrigrate. Pour the wine, brandy and any sweetener into the pitcher. Then stir everything together until it's all combined. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. The longer it sits, the more time the flavors can meld together.
- Serve this in individual glasses over ice. Then top with sparkling water if you'd like!

Notes
- Make-ahead tip: This is best made the night before. Overnight chilling lets the flavors meld beautifully.
- Storage tip: Sangria keeps in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, though the fruit may soften first. For the best flavor, enjoy it within a day or two.
- Sangria variations: Swap the red wine with white wine, play with different seasonal fruits, or toss in fresh herbs. Check out my other ideas in the post above
- I prefer to cut the fruit fairly small (I quarter each citrus slice), so that I can easily top an individual glass with a little bit of fruit.
- If you love my modern pitcher, make sure to grab it! As well as my wine glasses.
