Notes
More Tips:
Mixing in fresh strawberries, blueberries, and peaches not only makes the sangria taste better but also makes it look nice.
Add extra berries or a lemon slice on the glass rim to make your sangria look and taste great.
You can make the berry and vodka mix a day in advance. Just keep it in the fridge and add Prosecco and club soda when ready to serve.
Make sure your pitcher is big enough to hold everything and has some room for stirring.
If you’re having a party outside on a hot day, keep the sangria pitcher in a bucket of ice to keep it cool.
If you want a lighter drink, use less vodka or a non-alcoholic sparkling beverage instead of Prosecco. Substitute the vodka with fruit juice like orange, apple, or peach sangria for a delicious non-alcoholic punch.
Key Ingredients and Tools
These are the must-have tools and ingredients for making this drink. I’ll explain why you need them and how to use them.
- Prosecco: This bubbly wine gives the sangria its fizz. You can find it in the wine section of your local grocery store.
- Berry-flavored vodka: It boosts the fruity flavor of the sangria. Raspberry Stoli is a good choice, but any berry-flavored vodka will do the trick.
- Large pitcher: You’ll need a big pitcher to mix everything together. Make sure it’s big enough to hold everything and still leave room for stirring.
- Fresh strawberries: Fresh strawberries are essential for the best flavor and look. If fresh strawberries aren’t in season, you can use thawed frozen ones, but drain them well.
- Club soda: This adds some fizz and lightens up the drink. You can find it in the beverage aisle near the mixers.
These items will help you create a tasty and refreshing sangria that everyone will love!
Variations
Sparkling Sangria: Switch up your sangria game by trying a sparkling sangria with sparkling wine like Riondo Prosecco or Italian Prosecco.
White Sangria Recipe: Use a dry prosecco or a light sauvignon blanc for a white wine version. Add simple syrup and a mix of fresh fruit like green apples and cara cara oranges.
Red Wine Sangria Recipe: Do you prefer red wine? Substitute the prosecco with a pinot noir, red blend, or sangria recipes featuring red wine sangria. Add a cinnamon stick for a warm, spicy note.
Prosecco Sangria is such a delightful and refreshing drink that’s just perfect for any occasion. Its light and bubbly nature, combined with the sweet flavors of fresh berries, makes it a real crowd-pleaser.
Whether you’re hosting a brunch, a summer barbecue, or just enjoying a quiet evening at home, this easy-to-make sangria will add a touch of elegance and fun to your gathering.
I definitely recommend trying out the variations and serving ideas to find your favorite combination.
