Meet the best sangria you’ll ever have! Made with fresh fruit, brandy and red wine, this classic red sangria recipe will hit the spot. It’s so easy to make! Recipe yields 1 pitcher; enough for six glasses.

Best Red Sangria

orange

lemon,

brandy

maple syrup*,

Ice,

To prepare the orange, slice it in half from the stem end downward. Squeeze the juice of one-half of the orange into a pitcher. Thinly slice the remaining orange half and place the slices into the pitcher.

Add the prepared seasonal fruit and lemon. Add the brandy and 1 tablespoon of the maple syrup. Pour the wine into the pitcher and stir to combine. Taste, and add another tablespoon of maple syrup if it’s not sweet enough for your liking.

You can serve this sangria immediately, or let it marinate for 2 to 8 hours for more fruity flavor. Serve in wine glasses with a few ice cubes to keep it chilled. Enjoy!

Very sorry, tried this recipe.  Was suspicious of putting lemon in it.  Made it and the lemon overpowered it for me.  Why do people consistently write things here e.g. “I am going to make this recipe etc”.  It is called a “Review” for a reason.

Hi Kate, love the drink the only problem I have too much fruit for one bottle of wine. Any suggestions to make white sangria

Yum! This is my go to for red wine sangria.  Follow it to the T and always delicious!  (A cup of frozen mixed berries and a cut up apple are always a good combo) and some Cointreau for the brandy.  Fruit left behind when the wine is gone?  Add another bottle of wine to the marinated fruit, pop in some more brandy, maple syrup and a squeeze of orange juice, and let it marinate again.  By the time that wine is gone you can eat the fruit with a spoon, it's so good!

I have made this twice with peaches &amp; nectarines &amp; it is delicious. First time used a fairly expensive Pinot noir because I had it on hand. Second time I used an inexpensive granache &amp; I like it even better. Thanks!

Watch how to make the best red sangria in this short recipe video! It’s so easy to make if you follow these simple guidelines.

This easy moscato sangria is so easy to make with only 4 ingredients: moscato wine, lemon lime soda, vodka and strawberries. Swap sparkling water or club soda if you prefer it less sweet, or customize it by adding more of your favorite fruits. We like peaches and watermelon, too! Either way, it’s a party favorite, and it’s perfect for bridal and baby showers or a backyard bbq.

strawberry flavored vodka

lemon-lime soda (or club soda)

– 10 large strawberries, sliced

In a large pitcher, combine the wine and vodka. Add strawberries and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Just before serving, add the lemon-lime soda.

DE-licious!! I just made the single serving to try it out for tomorrow. It will be the "signature cocktail" for our very subdued 2020 family Christmas dinner. I will definitely be making a pitcher! I am in the process of making frosted cranberries (so beautiful!) and also have the rosemary sprigs ready. I will post a pic on instagram. Thanks for this wonderful recipe Kate, and happy holidays to you!

Made it tonight for our Christnas eve family time and a virgin version for my kids. So wonderful! Sent a jar to a neighbor friend and got rave reviews. Will be making this for years to come. I did sub in bourbon because that’s what I had. Such a beautiful drink either way. Thank you!!

These were delicious! Made a pitcher to have with Christmas dinner. Everyone loved them!

Made this for Christmas dinner - so delicious, everyone loved it!

Made this for just my husband and I, so I halved the recipe. He typically doesn’t love cocktails or tequila but he liked it! I really love how smooth it is.

We made this (sort of!) for Christmas Eve. I couldn’t get pear juice so used orange juice that we had in the fridge, and my husband reluctantly allowed his precious Angels Envy to be used. I’m sure pear juice would have been more subtle, but it was still GOOOOOD!

Very tasty with a nice blend of ingredients. I enjoyed this cocktail very much. It isn't too sweet and the pear juice is interesting. I will say though,  that I found the taste of cinnamon slight overpowering. The next time I make it, I will put 1/8 teaspoon instead of the recommended 1/4 teaspoon. Otherwise, a lovely drink which I am enjoying as I type.  4.5/5

This has to be our new FAVORITE cocktail!
Thank You so much Kate and Happy New Year!!

This was a big hit over the holidays and I had a bit of leftover pear juice and patron so just made it again....Christmas in January?  Smooth, complex, delicious and not too sweet.  This is another keeper.

Please tell me where to find the glasses you use for the Vanilla-Pear Holiday Punch picture.  I love them and haven't been able to find them online.
Love this recipe!! the Punch looks so delicious and I can't wait to try it!

I made this punch "with tequila" and "without". Both versions so good! I used the maple syrup because I was too lazy to do the simple honey. Next time (and I KNOW there will be a next time!) I will use the honey. I usually hate punches at parties because they are so sweet. This one is refreshing, festive and really yummy. Thank you for another great recipe. I can't believe how good you are at so many different types of recipes!

Did a practice round this weekend to figure out if we wanted tequila or bourbon. Also did we want to use prosecco or clubs soda? They all tasted so good so we are going with all four options for Christmas Eve.

Just served it this evening and it was a hit! Really festive: I used the Rosemary and fresh cranberries as garnish following the recipe line by line. The hint if cinnamon and vanilla added warmth. I used tequila and a bit if bourbon since I didn't have enough tequila. Really delicious!

Made this last year , instant holiday tradition. Everyone asking for it again this year . Love it!

Delicious holiday punch! All of the flavors are distinct - lemon, vanilla, cinnamon, pear - yet come together wonderfully. I made it non-alcoholic &amp; placed the bottle of tequila nearby so folks could add as they liked. Everyone from teens to Grandma loved the punch!

This was a huge hit at our party! I did make a little too much, how long can it be kept in the refrigerator?

Made a batch of your Vanilla Pear Punch as a trial for our NYE party - will definitely use as our House Cocktail (doubling the vanilla &amp; cinnamon;) A big winner! Thanks. Cheers

I have made many of your wonderful recipes. Each and every one is wonderful! 

This punch was the HIT of my holiday party! Everyone raved about it! Thank you!

It was great and a NYE hit! I ended up making it just a few hours before.
