Red Sangria
Flavorful sangria is a mix of wine, fruit, spices, and sweetener. It’s easy to whip up and best when chilled to allow the flavors to meld, so it’s very make-ahead friendly. Plus, no need to dirty a mixing bowl, you can mix red sangria directly in the pitcher.

Notes
- Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients including olive oils, honey, jams, and spices.
- You can use any medium-bodied red wine you like to make Red Sangria. Try it with Garnacha, Navarra, or Priorat.
- The fruit that infuses with the sangria overnight will take on a deep purple color. You can either strain it out or serve it in the pitcher and glasses, whatever your preference. Either way, we recommend adding some additional fresh fruit to add a beautiful bright color.
