Recipe FAQs and Notes
Can you save sangria for later?
If after making this simple recipe you find that you have some leftovers, just store it in the fridge for later. You just need to be certain that you stir it again before drinking.
Can you use frozen cranberries in sangria?
You can but the fresh ones offer so much taste! You also risk the frozen strawberries unthawing a bit and making the drink watered down.
Can you add other fruit to a homemade sangria recipe?
Totally. I tend to add in whatever fruit I have in the house as long as I feel that it’s going to go with the flavor. I also like to eat the fruit at the end as well because it soaks up all the yumminess.
