Tips & Substitutions
For a more vibrant flavor, chill the Burgundy wine before mixing. You can substitute the club soda with ginger ale for a sweeter twist. If you're looking for a lower sugar option, consider using a sugar substitute or omitting the sugar entirely. Fresh fruits can vary; feel free to add seasonal fruits such as berries or peaches. This sangria pairs beautifully with Zucchini Tomato Salad.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sangria in a large pitcher or bowl to showcase the colorful fruits. It pairs wonderfully with light appetizers like Cedar Creek Marinated Vegetables(Appetizer) or Mediterranean recipes. If serving at a gathering, consider offering small cups or glasses for easy self-serving. Garnish with additional fruit slices for a beautiful presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover sangria in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. The flavors will continue to meld, making it even tastier. However, if you added ice, be sure to strain it before storing to avoid dilution. When ready to serve again, give it a gentle stir and add fresh ice if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of wine for sangria?
Absolutely! While Burgundy wine gives a rich flavor, you can use any red wine such as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Just choose a wine that you enjoy drinking, as the flavor will be prominent in the sangria. Experimenting with different wines can lead to delightful variations.
How can I make this sangria ahead of time?
You can prepare the sangria a few hours in advance. Combine all ingredients except for the club soda and ice, and refrigerate. Add the club soda and ice just before serving to keep it fizzy and refreshing. This way, the flavors have time to meld without losing the carbonation.
Is it possible to make a non-alcoholic version of sangria?
Yes, you can create a delicious non-alcoholic sangria by substituting the Burgundy wine with a combination of grape juice and sparkling water. Add the same fruits and juices as in the original recipe for flavor. It's a refreshing alternative that everyone can enjoy!
