You can also use white wine if your prefer, easily changing this out to a white sangria and go with a lighter brandy, like peach.

What Is Sangria?

Sangria is a blended alcoholic drink from Spain. It can be made as a red sangria with red wine, pink, using a blush wine, or white, with a white wine.

Some of the common ingredients found in sangria are:

Fruit-sliced oranges, peaches, apples, pears, raspberries, strawberries and more.
Brandy, fruit schnapps or cognac.
Sparkling water or lemon-lime soda.
Simple syrup, honey, agave nectar or sugar.
Fruit juice, such as orange or apple.

How To Make Red Wine Sangria

Wash the fruit

If you’d like, you can peel the orange, lemon and lime (I didn’t)

Remove the tops from strawberries and slice in half.

Fill pitcher halfway with ice. Add fruit first, then wine, brandy and Sprite.

Serve right away, or let chill for an hour.
