Simple Sangria Recipe

August 26, 2014

Jump to Recipe

This Simple Sangria Recipe really is that simple.  Perfect for end of summer parties and great for Game Day!:: Simple Sangria Recipe ::

This Simple Sangria Recipe has a fun story.  In September I will be celebrating my 11th wedding anniversary! My hubby and I got married at a winery.  We both love and enjoy wine. I learned how to make this Simple Sangria Recipe after we had a tasting at the winery in which we wed.  They had a band playing on a warm Sunday afternoon and large vats of Sangria on hand for those customers tasting wine.  It was delicious and it seemed fairly easy to make from what the wine employees had said. {Mind you I wrote down what I thought went in this Sangria on a napkin}.  A little of this and a little of that and a bunch of fruit that sits over night.  The perfect Sangria for Game Days when you are celebrating a good win with friends.

Simple Sangria Recipe. Perfect for Game Day

I know that Sangria can seem to be a summer recipe, but I think I make more Sangria in the fall than I do in the summer.  Though summer can seem like a time for barbecues and adventures outdoors with friends, it seems like we have more time for entertaining in the fall.  Maybe it’s football season and cooler evenings that entice us to entertain.  This red wine based Simple Sangria Recipe pairs well with appetizers and can be made ahead time before you head out the door for those weekend soccer games.
