Not only does the sangria fruit flavor the drink, but it also soaks up the alcohol and leaves you with a delicious boozy treat to enjoy afterward!
Tip: Serve the sangria with skewers so you can grab the fruit as you drink!
FAQs
Because the sangria fruit needs to soak at least two hours, this is a great make-ahead recipe. You must make it a minimum of two hours in advance but it can be kept in the refrigerator up to 4 hours.
The fruit spoiling and getting mushy is the biggest concern for keeping sangria fresh, which is why I don’t recommend making it more than 4 hours in advance.
Yes! Keep it in the refrigerator for the best taste and to keep fresh. Sangria cannot sit out overnight at room temperature without becoming unsafe to drink.
Tips for best results
- Use as fresh fruit as you can find for the best flavor.
- Serve with cocktail skewers to use to eat the fruit as you drink.
- Soak the sangria fruit at least one hour before serving.
- Do not leave sangria out overnight, it must be kept refrigerated. If refrigerating remove fruit from the sangria so it doesn’t get soft or spoil.
