When planning a party, a good sangria is a must! Enjoy five of my Best Sangria Recipes that are perfect drinks to serve anytime of the year.
It’s the holiday season which means time to plan parties and nothing is easier than making a pitcher of Sangria! I’m sharing five of my favorite Best Sangria Recipes that are my go-to drinks for any type of party, anytime of the year.
At every party I’ve hosted, these sangria recipes always get compliments. Even people who don’t like wine or fruity drinks enjoy these five recipes. I try to make my sangria recipes as quick and simple as possible, because I’m usually running around last minute worrying about the food. A simple pitcher of sangria is about as easy as you can get! I hope you enjoy some of my favorite drink recipes too!
Not a wine drinker? You can definitely make a mocktail from these sangria recipes. Substitute the wine with juice and you can have a delicious drink for all ages.
These are the Best Sangria Recipes for a party! Easy red and white wine cocktail drinks include Pineapple, Peach, Cranberry, Strawberry Rosé and Skinny Sangria. Enjoy!
Watch the Video of my favorite Sangria Recipes
Watch me make a few of the Sangria recipes in the video below or scroll down to print the recipes.
One year during the holidays, I made a new Cranberry Raspberry Sangria that when served at my party was gone within minutes! I call it Christmas Sangria. This raspberry, cranberry and apple Christmas Sangria is the easiest cocktail to make for a big crowd, you just dump everything in and forget about it. Not only is it a mix of sweet and tart, but it looks very fancy! It makes a wonderful drink for any holiday party.

My Tropical Pineapple Sangria recipe is one of our most popular sangria recipes here at Living Locurto! It’s a perfect coconut rum drink for a luau or just sipping by the pool. I enjoy making it during the cold weather months because it makes me feel like I’m on the beach! A tropical twist on the traditional white wine sangria that tastes like a piña colada, but much easier.

If you love rosé wine, then you’ll definitely enjoy the light, sweet flavor of our Strawberry Plum Rose Sangria. It’s a very popular fruity party drink! This is a perfect summer drink when plums are in season, but you can make it anytime of the year.

This simple Skinny Sangria recipe is the best low calorie cocktail for a party!

You definitely want to make this Easy Peach Sangria when peaches are in season, but it’s super tasty any time of the year! Bursting with flavor from fresh peaches, this sangria only takes a few minutes to make and only needs to be chilled for an hour if the peaches are very ripe. It’s a great sangria to make for a hot summer day!
>> Get the Easy Peach Sangria recipe below
With only a few ingredients this easy Peach Sangria is one of the best sangria recipes for a party anytime of the year. Such an easy drink bursting with flavor!
Combine peaches, wine and schnapps into a pitcher and chill for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Before serving, stir and pour in the Sprite to add fizz. (optional)
If you like sweet drinks, use Pinot Grigio. If you prefer a less sweet wine, use Sauvignon Blanc.

Drinks in a jar are just too cute and easy, that I can’t help myself! In Texas, it gets so hot in the summer that you can’t enjoy the outdoors without being in a cold pool.

Everyone will love this Antipasto Bake! Filled with cheese and meat, this casserole is one of the best appetizer recipes you can take to a party.
This Italian Antipasto Bake recipe came from my sister-in-law from Boston, Liisa. Her friend Marie sent it to her. Don’t you love how recipes get passed along? Family recipes shared over and over are usually the BEST kind of recipes and this Antipasto Bake is definitely amazing!
I’ve got tons of delicious appetizers and party ideas here, but this antipasto bake recipe is always one of my favorite dishes to make for a pot-luck dinner or party. Everyone usually raves about it and here in Texas, it’s a different kind of recipe that is not always served at a party. If you live in the North East, you’ve probably eaten something similar to this recipe many times.

It’s very easy to make by lining a baking dish with crescent rolls topped with meats and cheeses, then baking until bubbly and golden brown. Always a winning recipe!
I could eat this entire pan of Italian Antipasto Bake! Yes, it’s that good! I’m making it again for a dinner party with friends this weekend and thought you might like it too. Enjoy!
