Sangria is a wine punch built from red wine, citrus juice, sugar, and warm spices. This version keeps the fruit character in the juices and the spice in the infusion.
Combine red wine, sugar, orange juice, lemon juice, cloves, and cinnamon in a pitcher. Refrigerate until chilled, stir before serving, and pour into wine glasses without extra garnish.
Serve from a pitcher into wine glasses. Keep the serve ungarnished so it respects the one-garnish rule.
Pair it with tapas, grilled meats, paella, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, or fruit desserts.
Sangria is associated with Spanish and Iberian wine-punch traditions, though modern recipes vary widely by region and occasion.
Best for shared meals, summer parties, barbecues, and pitcher service.
Red wine brings tannin and berry fruit, orange and lemon juice add citrus body, sugar rounds the mix, and cinnamon and cloves add warm spice.
Communal, fruity, spiced, and relaxed.
Add one type of sliced fruit if garnish is allowed, or lengthen with soda water just before serving.
