🧾 Final Thoughts: Sip Slow, Chill Hard
Sangria is the ultimate “mix it and forget it” party drink. These summer variations are fresh, bright, and built for warm days and good vibes. Make a big pitcher, add a ton of ice, and let the fruit do the talking.
Pro tip:
Use frozen fruit as ice cubes — keeps it cold without watering it down. Bonus points for infusing your fruit overnight in wine for stronger flavor.
