What is sangria?
Sangria is an alcoholic punch originating in Spain. The punch often consists of wine, chopped or sliced fruit, and some additional ingredients. After the alcohol and fruit have settled together, sangria is typically served from a pitcher or punch bowl.
There are many options for serving sangria. Usually, the alcoholic punch is served over ice in glasses. Sometimes you can find sugar, spices, herbs, or other additional ingredients as garnishments.
Chef’s Tips
- Make sure you allow the sangria to sit for several hours prior to serving! This ensures prominent flavors to be present from the fruit and wine.
- This recipe is best with white wine. If you do not ingest alcohol, enjoy a mocktail by leaving out the wine.
- Do not add ice to the original container of the sangria has it will water the flavors down.

Equipment

Notes
