Photo: Sunset Sangria Recipe
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.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons (3 splashes) spiced dark rum
- 3 tablespoons orange liqueur
- 1 navel orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 2 ripe peaches, cut into wedges
- 3 ripe plums, cut into wedges
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 bottle Rioja
- Sparkling soda water, for topping off glasses of sangria at table
Directions
Combine sugar, rum, orange liqueur, fruits, and cinnamon sticks in a large pitcher. Cover with 1 bottle of wine and chill sangria several hours.
To serve, spoon fruits into glasses or goblets and pour over spiced wine. Top glasses of sangria off with a splash of soda water

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!
