Sangria Soaked Fruit Skewers

I’m not sure what’s better than boozy fruit that’s been sitting in a mixture of red wine, brandy, and sugar water. Who else loves the fruit part of sangria?! Dare I say I enjoy it more than the sangria itself…

These skewers are the BEST for summer entertaining. First of all, they’re SO fun and EASY. All you have to do is soak a bunch of fruit in sangria and then skewer it up! Can you say Friday happy hour?

Now you can absolutely drink the sangria part too! It’s perfectly delicious and a super simple version of a red sangria. I love it! Definitely don’t throw it out..I don’t think I had to tell you that, but you never know.

How cute and pretty are these? I used mini skewers which worked out perfectly but you can use the big skewers too! These were eaten in a matter of minutes in my house. They are so perfectly boozy and sweet.

I used a medley of summery fruit, plus apples because you gotta have apples in sangria. Cherries (yay! finallllly in season!), blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and peaches. Plus, a little freshly squeezed orange juice and sliced lime! And just a touch of simple syrup for extra sweetness.

You can switch this up and add raspberries, mango, or whatever fruit you like! I ended up adding lemon slices to the actual sangria too.

What is your favorite type of sangria? Mine has to be classic red, but I do LOVE this rosé version I created last summer.

I seriously cannot wait to entertain with these this summer. The other plus is that they travel super well. If you bring these to a party, get ready to be superrrr popular.

Friday are you here yet?
