The Best Frozen Sangria

Beat the heat with a refreshing recipe for The Best Frozen Sangria loaded with fresh fruit.

The Best Frozen Sangria topped with fresh strawberries served with an orange slice and straw

Today my little boy turns 2 years old. But before you start scrolling in anticipation of a sappy “someone stop time” post, allow me to direct your focus: alcohol slushies. I repeat, ALCOHOL SLUSHIES.

Do I have your attention now?

The Best Frozen Sangria with an orange slice and teal stripped straw

Yes indeed, today is Julian’s big second birthday. It’s hard to believe that two years ago today, I was pumped with Pitocin, stabbed in my spine with a foot-long needle (I see you, epidural) and popped out an 8-pound boy. If that doesn’t deserve a cocktail, then I don’t know what does.

So here we are, celebrating my sweet boy’s second year and toasting to all the amazing chaos that life with two little boys ages 2 and under entails.

Wine being poured into blender with frozen strawberries

Wine. It entails a lot of wine.

And the only thing better than wine, is wine with more alcohol. So I’ve taken a classic sangria recipe from my days living in Spain (should we recount Salmonella-gate?) and given it a frosty edge. But the real hero of this story is that blender jug up above. To recap:

  1. Wine
  2. More alcohol
  3. Blender jug

You see where I’m going with this, right? Forget the glasses. Skip the straws. Find your nearest garden hose and HAVE. AT. IT.

  1. I am trying this recipe today for National Juice Slush Day (May 20th) with ONEHOPE Cabernet Sauvignon Wine! Super excited to share!

    1. Hi Janet! I’ve never tried freezing the sangria but I think it could work. Would love to hear your results if you give it a shot!

  2. 5 stars
    My husband and I love this sangria in the summertime! Came back to the site to print off the recipe again, whipping up a batch tomorrow for our little party. :)

      1. Hi Judy – It’s hard to say what could have caused your frozen sangria to be watery. Did you use frozen fruit, and did you follow the proportions as listed?
