I love picnics. I love being outside and spending time with family and friends. I love spending a leisurely Sunday, visiting, playing badminton or croquet, snacking, grilling and perhaps having a glass of wine.....Ahhhhhh.....wine.
I think that the perfect wine for a casual picnic pot luck, where you aren't sure what food will be offered and what the other guests wine preferences might be, is a fruity, refreshing Sangria Punch. This recipe I'm sharing with you today is sure to please everyone at the table with it's light and sparkly goodness.
Now, one of the problems of trying to keep wine chilled at a picnic is the danger of watering down your wine if you add ice to it. Want to know an easy way to rectify that problem?? Ice cubes made from wine....melt away ice....melt away....and in keeping with the fruity theme you can put a cherry inside each cube
Sangria Punch
1 bottle red wine
2 cans lemon lime soda
1 orange, cut into slices
1 lime, cut into slices
1 lemon, cut into slices
Pour wine and soda into a large pitcher. Add fruit slices and stir to combine. Serve chilled. If desired make ice cubes using some of the punch to add to the wine on hot days to keep it cool. Print Recipe

Sangria is very refreshing indeed, Wendy! I don't think I'd have time for it to get warm because it would be gone in a hurry.
ReplyDeleteWell I was thinking more about what was in the pitcher not my glass LOL....the wine in my glass never lasts long either Stacy.
DeleteI love a sangria in the summer, perfect cocktail, so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteYes it is Tara.
DeleteSangria means summer is on its way!
ReplyDeleteYay
DeletePerfect for a picnic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah.
DeleteSangria's always the perfect cocktail for a party!
ReplyDeleteI agree Serena
DeleteIts been ages since I've had sangria! It's still the only way I'll drink wine haha
ReplyDeleteI am a wine lover but when it is really hot I find Sangria refreshing.
DeleteSangria is great for a picnic. What kind of red wine do you recommend using?
ReplyDeleteI used a cabernet for this because that was what I had in the house. I like to use a dry red so that it cuts the sweetness of the soda. Some like to use a rose but I find that is too sweet for my taste.
DeleteMy family would love to see this sangria at the next picnic!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you make them very happy Lauren.
DeleteThis is just brilliant! I sometimes freeze grapes and use them but this is even better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tammi, grapes are a great idea too.
DeleteI love sangria!! And that glass looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt was Paula and isn't it a gorgeous glass. I got 2 as Christmas gifts last year.
DeleteOooo wonderful idea to put a cherry inside the wine ice cube, Wendy. Your sangria at a picnic would definitely get the attendees doing a happy dance!
ReplyDeleteIt had me doing the happy dance, that's for sure.
