Every summer I look forward to my favourite alcoholic beverage… sangria! This wonderful drink is a great way to use leftover or poor tasting red wine. This recipe uses red wine (the cheapest stuff will do) and brandy. You can drink it after letting it sit in the fridge for 6 hours but it tastes best when “steeped” for at least 24 hours.

EASY & DELICIOUS SANGRIA
I thought I would share my own delightful sangria recipe with you. This here is the taste of summer. This recipe is refreshing, fruity, and tasty, this recipe is sure to please!
I hope you enjoy this refreshing version of Sangria. I find the recipe to be incredibly forgiving… so get creative and throw in whatever you wish! Many fruits taste good in Sangria. I’ve also heard that if you eat the fruit, you get an extra “kick” of alcohol. I’ve never been brave enough to do so. The alcoholic content in the drink alone is good enough for me.
An Easy and Delicious Sangria Recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 orange, peeled
- 1 lime, peeled
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1/2 a can of frozen lemonade concentrate
- 1/2 a can of frozen orange juice concentrate
- 1/2 a bottle of red wine (the cheapest stuff will do fine)
- 1/3 cup brandy
- Ginger ale or club soda
Instructions
- Slice your orange, lime, and lemon. Set aside.
- In a large pitcher, combine the lemonade concentrate, orange juice concentrate, wine, and brandy.
- Mix liquids and concentrate well.
- Add fruits.
- Let sit, covered in the fridge for at least 6 hours (but preferably 24 hours).
- To serve, fill a glass with ice.
- Then fill half the glass with the alcohol concentrate and top off with club soda or ginger ale. I personally prefer club soda because it’s less calories and not as sweet.
- Mix and enjoy.
This is the PERFECT summer drink. It’s so tasty and refreshing. Do you like sangria? Do you have your own special recipe? If you give this a try, please let me know what you think.

Oooo…I like the name of your post. :)
Sounds delicious!
Not a drinker, had to deal with alcoholics so they kind of ruined it for me :) But about Sangria, you reminded me of Rachel from FRIENDS as she met a long lost friend from her sorority with whom she drank sangria and ended making out :) OH FRIENDS, best comedy series out there :)
Sounds divine. I can totally make this. Would make my weekend so much better. :)
I’m not much of a drinker, but I think that totally counts as a fruit serving or two. Totally healthy! :)
Love sangria but don’t think I would be able to let it chill for the minimum 6 hours! Thanks for linking up with My Favorite Posts Show Off Weekend Blog Party. Michelle
