Sangria Recipe ! - Ole'

Named For Its Color
Perfect Party Punch


The blood-red color of a Sangria Recipe inspired the name of the beverage which comes from the Spanish word for "blood."


sangria

Sangria is a perfect party punch. Fresh, fruity, delicious.

Sangria is made with red wine, fruit juices, fruit slices and often club soda, brandy and triple sec are added. However, it can be made in just about any style you can imagine.

There are two sangria recipes on this page to help you get started on developing your own favorite recipe for this refreshing beverage.

And every restaurant has its own sangria recipe, too! It is one of the few beverages that is really lots of fun to experiment with. So whatever you do, don't buy a mix at the store - have fun and create your own!

The main thing to remember making when your own Sangria is to use a good quality red wine, one that you like and be sure to chill it.

The versions I have on this page are served cold over ice and make a refreshing cooler on a hot summer day.

Not crazy about chilled red wine? Then use your favorite white wine and create Sangria Blanco (white)!

Let's get started!
