I love sangria and the sweetness it delivers!  My mother-in-law had me try a packaged sangria mix where you only needed to add wine. It was okay, but I wanted to create my own version with fresh ingredients. After some research, I came across an amazing sangria recipe that I modified to my liking and it was delicious!  This Holiday Sangria is my favorite cocktail for the holidays. We serve it for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even New Year’s Eve!

Holiday Sangria is a sweet wine cocktail loaded with fruit and juices that's a perfect drink for the holidays! Make it ahead of time to serve later!

This Holiday Sangria recipe is sweet, fruity, and I love being able to make it ahead of time. I had a friend and her family over for dinner and a photo shoot and had her try this sangria. We both love Moscato wine, so when I found this recipe I knew it had to be a winner! She raved about this easy cocktail and we finished the pitcher. (Her husband was driving home, don’t worry.) Try this sangria at your next party and watch it disappear! I highly recommend making a double batch.

Tools used to make this Holiday Sangria recipe

Pitcher: I love pitcher drinks and this pitcher always gets oohs and ahhs from my friends and readers.

Tongs: A good pair of tongs is a kitchen essential. I like having a couple sizes – a longer set for grilling and a shorter set for stovetop cooking.

Small Saucepan: While I use bigger saucepans for everyday cooking, having a small saucepan lets me make syrups, toppings, and sauce add-ins without taking over the stovetop.

    • It is simple syrup and I think you can find it near the drink mixes but you really don’t have to buy it. You can make it at home and have it on hand. You will just combine equal parts water and sugar and heat until sugar is dissolved. That’s it. Let us know what you think after you try it out.

    • Simple syrup is equal parts water and sugar. Heat the water to boiling, stir in sugar until it completely dissolves, let it cool. Simple! For this recipe, in order not to have a lot left over, you can use 1/4 c. water to 1/4 c. sugar. 3 liquid ounces is 3/8 of a cup, halfway between 1/4 c. and 1/2 c.

      Haven’t tried this yet myself, but planning to make a couple of gallons in a big Mason jar dispenser for Thanksgiving and really looking forward to it!
