The perfect way to keep the wine and create a cocktail!
I always try and keep wines under $10 for Sangria recipes since it will be mixed with other ingredients, focusing on the overall taste. I used a Spanish Tempranillo Red Wine and a Spanish White Wine made from Viura grapes, both from Trader Joe’s to make the below sangria recipes.

Combine all ingredients, except sparkling water, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before serving.
