Ingredient notes
- Triple sec: Or substitute another orange liqueur, such as Cointreau or Grand Marnier.
- Green apples: I prefer the tartness of green apples, but any apple will do.
- Seltzer: Or if you prefer more bitter and citrusy tonic water, try that. If sweet is your style, swap in lemon-lime soda.

Recipe FAQs
What do you enjoy drinking on its own? Chances are, you’ll adore that style of wine made into a sangria! So if you lean on the sweeter side, start with a moscato. But as a general rule, I recommend more crispy and acidic white wines like sauvignon blanc, riesling, and pinot grigio. You could also make pink sangria and use rosé wine as your base!
The suggestions below are just the beginning. How about pomegranate arils, plum wedges, blackberries, blueberries, or small pineapple cubes?
