Poolside Sangria

Poolside Sangria Recipe

I hope everyone had a fantastic Father’s Day weekend! After attending a DC wine festival last weekend, my taste buds have been inspired to try out my dads Sangria recipe. Growing up he used to always make this summertime drink, but this time I wanted to switch it up a bit. I decided to add in some extra fruits to make it even fruitier. It didn’t take long to prepare at all, which I loved, and it accompanied us on our trip to the pool for Father’s Day.

Poolside Sangria Recipe

Here’s what you need:
• 1 Bottle of Tempranillo—I used this type of red wine, but you can also use Merlot
• 1 2 liter of Ginger Ale
• 1/2 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
• 4 orange slices (thinly sliced)
• 1/2 cup of diced yellow apple
• 1/2 cup of diced red apple
• 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries
• 1/2 cup of diced watermelon
• 1/4 cup of raspberries
• 1/4 cup of blackberries
• 1.5 ounces of lime juice
• 4 lemon slices (thinly sliced)

How to prepare:
Step 1.
After all ingredients have been diced, sliced and juiced, you can place it all into your pitcher or bowl.

Step 2. Pour Tempranillo and Ginger Ale into pitcher; be sure to make this a one-to-one match! For every cup of ginger ale that is poured, you must pour an equal amount of wine.
