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?

Thank you so much!!

Hi I read this makes 4 servings. How much extra would I need to make for a party of ~30 people 😬

Hi Lexi! If you toggle your cursor over the servings, there will be a bar that shows up that allows you to slide the servings up to the number you’re looking for, and the ingredient amounts will re-populate. The highest it goes is 20, but I think that would be plenty – the 4 servings I listed initially is generous. Let me know if you have any other questions and if you try them out! 🙂
Lexi
Ohhhh thank you very much:)
Lexi
I just accidentally figured out that it goes past 20. You just keep re-loading the toggle!!
