I always start with a large pitcher to hold all the ingredients and allow them to meld together.

A juicer is essential for extracting fresh blood orange juice, providing that vibrant flavor.
Use a long spoon for stirring, ensuring everything blends well.
Lastly, don’t forget high-quality wine glasses for serving — they make the sangria look as good as it tastes.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make my favorite Blood Orange Sangria:

Blood oranges: 4–5 freshly juiced for that deep, rich citrus taste.
Red wine: 750 ml bottle adds robust flavor.
Brandy: 1/4 cup for warmth and complexity.

Club soda: 1 cup to add a bit of fizz.
Agave syrup or honey: 2 tablespoons for a hint of sweetness.
Mixed fruits: slices of oranges lemons, and apples for garnish and added flavor.

This mix creates a harmonious blend of fruity notes with a hint of sweetness. 🥂

Instructions

Let me walk you through the steps of creating this delightful drink.

Start by juicing the blood oranges.
Pour the juice into a pitcher and add your bottle of red wine.
Next, stir in the brandy. Use a bit of agave syrup to sweeten as needed. Stir all the liquids thoroughly.

Add in the sliced fruits, then cover and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
When it’s time to serve, add club soda for a refreshing sparkle. Pour into glasses over ice.

Notes

Here are a few tips to enhance your sangria. First, always use freshly squeezed blood orange juice for the best flavor. If you like your sangria on the sweeter side, adjust the agave syrup to taste. Also, experiment with different fruits for garnish to suit your preferences, like berries or peaches for an extra twist. Finally, allow the sangria to chill properly to ensure all the flavors develop fully.
