This sangria takes five to 10 minutes to assemble in a large pitcher. Take the time to prepare it in the morning so the sangria has several hours to develop its fruity flavor. Pull it out when dinner is ready to serve that evening.

This Sangria was really delicious and so easy to make. I followed the recipe to the letter. Red plums and peaches were in their prime, so I’m sure their juices added a lot to the flavor. I did not have cinnamon sticks, but we did not feel anything was missing. I will definitely add them next time. The soda water splash diluted the taste too much, so I tried it with some Prosecco instead. But that gave it too much of a Prosecco-y taste, so I switched back to the soda water and just added less. It was just right. Allow the sangria to chill until very cold so your ice does not melt too quickly and dilute it.
I will be making this often. Delicious.
Excellent recipe, only thing I do differently is top the Sangria off with Very Dry Champagne.
This sangria was very easy to make and was a very nice alternative to wine on a warm summer night. I will have to double the recipe next time. It didn’t last long!
I made this sangria for a recent beach party. It won raves from everyone who attended and, even though I had TRIPLED the recipe (it was a big party), there wasn’t a drop left. Normally, I’m not a big fan of Sangria, but I really enjoyed this, as it wasn’t overly sweet. The cinnamon and splash of rum added a nice layering of flavors, too. Highly recommended!
I tried this recipe this weekend and it was excellent. Very easy to prepare. It didn’t last past the appetizers.
Great summer sangria with just the right touch of sweeetness.
I had never had a Sangria before so for my party I wanted something different. I didn’t use the peaches but instead I added apples, blackberries, rasberries and cherries to this recipes… I let it sit all day, I made 3 pitchers and ended up making another one and letting it sit an hour before serving.. NONE LEFT.. Thanks for a great recioe will use again and again..
I made this for an informal cookout with friends. It took no time to put together and was absolutely delicious. I skipped the plums, as there weren’t any available, and added apple instead. Don’t skip the cinnamon sticks- the flavor is great!
Over the years I’ve had a lot of sangria at various Spanish restaurants. This recipe results in a middle of the pack version of what I had hoped for.
Loved it. Easy to prepare and all my guests loved it.
