Virtually no party or celebration is complete without a jug of cool, fruity sangria, and its contents can be varied to take account of whichever fruits are in season at the time. There are many different sangria recipes which have been endlessly copied and adapted, but a super fruit-packed sangria recipe always scores because it can be put together very quickly from fresh ingredients, and accompanies any type of food – although it works especially well with spicy dishes. The best sangria recipes balance the sharpness and freshness of the fruit with the mellow, rich taste of the wine to produce a drink which scores on many fronts.

Many people choose super fruity sangria recipes for summer events such as a barbecue on the patio or a birthday party, but there is no need for there to be any special occasion to celebrate because sangria recipes can be mixed to take account of the weather. When summer is at its height and the barbecue is roaring away, sangria recipes make the perfect accompaniment, yet with a little adaptation, they go equally well at indoor sit-down dinners and celebrations.

While red wine is the traditional base ingredient for a super fruity sangria recipe, it can be given a twist by substituting white wine. The choices of fruits added to the mix might well vary according to the time of year, but some of the more popular fruits to include are oranges, limes, strawberries, peaches and pineapple. Not only do these fruits impart their flavor to the mix being created, but they also create a rainbow of colour variations which can help make a sangria recipe much more interesting.

Choosing the most appropriate available fruits just as they come into season and have the full body to allow their flavours to make their presence felt through the wine and ice makes a delicious super fruity sangria recipe that any gathered group is sure to enjoy. For finishing touches, a sangria recipe could include sugar, ginger ale, fruit flavored brandy such as peach or apricot, lemon wedges and limeade or lemonade. With plenty of ice, a super fruity sangria recipe can be served immediately or put in the fridge to chill before serving with plenty of ice.
