Best Summer Sangria Recipes

The May 2-4 is quickly approaching, which is basically the unofficial kick off to summer, so we must ready ourselves with an arsenal of delicious Summer Sangria recipes!

Here are 5 sangria (among others) recipes that you have to try this summer.

1. Clerico

Now this one isnt’t “technically” a sangeria per-say, but it is said to be South America’s spin on the refreshing wine drink!

How delicious and refreshing does that look!? You’re probably already sold.

Here’s what goes in it:

• 2 bottles dry white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 cups sliced peaches
• 1 cup sliced strawberries
• 1 cup halved seedless grapes
• Thinly sliced banana
• Ice

2. Rose Sangria

Rose is great to make sangria with, it’s just a little sweet so you don’t have to add much sweetener and its a good mix between white and red if you can’t decide!

Here’s what goes in this Rosey sangria:

• 2 cups blueberries
• 2 cups blackberries
• 2 cups hulled strawberries
• 2 cups mixed red and golden raspberries
• 1 tablespoon superfine sugar
• 5 ounces Framboise, or other raspberry liqueur
• 1 bottle chilled rose wine
• 1 1/3 cups white cranberry juice

3. Raspberry- Plumb Sangria

This sangria uses all of the delicious summer fruits that are in season!

• 1 navel orange, thinly sliced crosswise, larger slices halved
• 6 ounces (1 1/2 cups) raspberries
• 1 cup vodka
• 2 bottles dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, chilled

4. Green Tea- Cranberry Spritzer

Who doesn’t love a good spritzer? So refreshing on a hot summer day! And if you can incorporate tea, all the better!

• 4 green tea bags

5. Bing Cherry Mojitos

Don’t know what a Bing Cherry is? (because I definitely didn’t…) It’s basically just a wild, sweet cherry! Which can be bought fresh while they’re in season, or canned.

Here’s what goes in this Bing Mojitos:

• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 1 1/4 cups freshly squeezed lime juice (about 9 limes)
