Red or White Sangria Spritzers are perfect as a barbecue refreshment or just a hot summer day.
Whether it is Red or White Wine Sangria, the recipe I'm sharing with you today, will remain engraved in your memory.
Sangria is so very easy to make. You can use wine, beer or a liquor as your alcohol base and then add a carbonated drink and some fruit to jazz it up.

Options for Your Wine Sangria Spritzer
For the Red Wine Sangria version, I combined the following:
- ginger ale
- red wine
- cranberry juice
- sliced strawberries and blueberries
- cups ice
For the White Wine Sangria version, I combined the following:
- San Pellegrino Grapefruit soda
- Perrier ((in Place of Ginger Ale)
- white wine
- orange juice
- slices of orange, grapefruit, and lime
Use your imagination to experiment and make different flavor combinations of Red or White Wine Sangria.
Most important, if you're a lush like me, you probably won't be able to decide which combination you like better. Both combinations above are light, refreshing and make great spritzers to cool off your guests as you entertain.
Surprisingly, I liked the red wine sangria over the white wine sangria. Which one will you prefer more?
Top Tips
These can be made ahead of time and refrigerated if you are planning a family function or gathering. Avoid putting the ice in the pitcher with the mixture before your guests arrive, otherwise the Sangria will get watered down as the ice melts.
Instead of putting the ice in the pitcher, try keeping the ice in an ice bucket or bowl nearby. Then place the ice your guests glass just before serving. Pour the Sangria over the ice and enjoy.
