Sweet Red Sangria is perfect for your next get together. Not overly sweet, this recipe will have your guests coming back for more!
When I make a cocktail, it’s usually just for one. Mark and I have very different tastes, so we rarely drink the same thing. He’s a rum and cola kind of guy, and I like a splash of fruitiness to my drinks.
Every once in a while, though, I do like to have more than one, so having to make the recipe all over again can be a hassle if there are more than two ingredients involved. Unfortunately, if I made a pitcher, it would probably go to waste.
Several weeks ago, Mark and I were at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants in town, and I had a really good sangria. However, I was disappointed that it wasn’t homemade. They started with bottled sangria and added additional ingredients from there.
I really wanted to try and make my own, so, after a little research, I came up with a pretty great recipe. It’s darker than most sangrias, because it isn’t diluted with anything carbonated. Although, I’m not leaving that off my list, so be ready to see other blends of sangria in the future, too.
Not only do I love how easy this recipe is to make, it also makes having a second {or third} glass a breeze- just pour and enjoy!
