If you have 10 minutes, you can mix up a pitcher of this easy red sangria recipe and be on your way to a fun cocktail hour!
Red wine is one of my very favorite things, so of course I love this simple red sangria recipe. I can’t say that I actually know much about wine beyond knowing that some taste better to me than others, and I rarely meet a glass of red wine I don’t like. The Pants, on the other hand, prefers cocktails. As it turns out, sangria is a perfect middle ground. This fruity, refreshing red sangria pleases wine and cocktail lovers alike. It couldn’t be simpler to make, looks beautiful, and is perfect for making ahead for a ready-made Happy Hour treat. It’s also an inexpensive way to serve a crowd because you get great results with cheap wine and spirits.

- Place orange, lemon, lime, sugar, triple sec, and brandy in a large glass pitcher. Muddle gently to release juice from citrus and dissolve sugar.
- Add apple slices and pour in wine. Stir gently, cover with plastic wrap, and let soak at room temperature or in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Serve over ice or at room temperature. Add seltzer water if you would like a lighter taste. Cheers!
Sangria will last 4-5 days stored in the refrigerator if you happen to find yourself with leftovers.
