Tips and tricks
Use ingredients you enjoy - I recommend choosing a wine that you enjoy on its own. If you don't enjoy rosé, moscato, pinot grigio, or riesling make great alternatives.
Taste is most important - Your wine doesn't need to be expensive but should taste good to you (especially before adding other ingredients). If you don't enjoy the wine on its own, you likely won't enjoy a sangria made with it either.
Club soda variations - Try adding different flavors of club soda to create a new flavor variation. Choose a flavor like citrus or strawberry that complements the flavor notes in your wine.
Make ahead
If you'd like to make your sangria ahead, it can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Omit the club soda and stir it in just before serving. If the club soda sits in the sangria too long, it will lose its carbonation.
Frequently asked questions
Choose a rosé or white wine that you enjoy - I recommend pinot grigio, riesling, or moscato. Keep in mind that the sweeter the wine, the sweeter the sangria will turn out.
Yes, sangria is a great way to use up an inexpensive bottle of wine.
The strawberries and lemon slices can be substituted with peaches, raspberries, or orange slices. The variations are endless!
