Sangria is one of our favorite summer cocktails, with a refreshingly sweet and spiked taste that seems to always hit the spot. And with a simple ingredient list that includes wine, hard liquor, and fruit, what’s not to love? We could (and just might) spend all summer trying out the many combinations to test — starting with this amazing berry-citrus version from none other than Martha Stewart. Whether you’re looking to switch up your happy hour or need a boozy brunch drink, add this refreshing recipe to your cocktail menu before the weekend ends.
“Our red sangria recipe is a delicious make-ahead party drink. Strawberries, grapefruit, and lime are macerated in sugar, an orange liqueur like Cointreau or Triple Sec, and either vodka or tequila (your choice!). This boozy mixture needs at least four hours for the flavors to mingle, and you can make it up to a day ahead. Get the recipe at the link in our bio,” the post was captioned.
To make this, let’s start with the fruit you’ll need: one small grapefruit, lime, strawberries, and sugar, to name a few of the ingredients. As for booze, make sure you get your go-to vodka or Blanco tequila, chilled, dry red wine, and more. You can also use additional frozen fruit and seltzer to garnish, if desired.
To make, combine all of the fresh fruit ingredients with the sugar, alcohol, and place it in the fridge for at least four hours up to one day.
For serving, if desired, first fill half of each glass up with fresh fruit. (Honestly, this sangria topped with the fizz of seltzer sounds ah-mazing.)
