Tips & Tricks
Making a Sweet Kiss Sangria can be a delightful experience. Here are some tips to perfect it! 🍹
- Chill your wine before mixing. It keeps the sangria fresh and tasty for longer. Plus, a cold drink is extra refreshing!
- Use fresh fruits like oranges, strawberries, and lemons for a pop of color and flavor.

I like to let my sangria sit for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to blend together perfectly.
- For a fizzy twist, top off your sangria with some sparkling water or lemon-lime soda just before serving.
If you’re feeling adventurous, experiment with different wines. A rosé or sparkling wine can make a fun variation.
🍇 If you love berries, throw in a handful of fresh raspberries or blueberries. They add both taste and decoration!
- Use mint leaves for a fresh touch. Just a few can brighten up the whole drink.
Remember to give it a quick taste test before serving. You might want to add a little more of something to suit your preferences.
