Late Summer Sangrias

A rich and fruity Sangria is one of the best ways to end a late summer evening! The end of summer is the ideal time to make the most of last ripe fruits and also transition into more autumn-themed flavors. See our list below for some of our favorite end of summer Sangria recipes!

 

September Sangria

 

1 bottle 750mL rosé

2 cups seltzer plain or flavored of your choice

1 cup blackberry brandy

2 honey crisp apples sliced

2 plums sliced

1 orange cut into wedges

1 cup figs sliced

1/2 cup grapes halved

 

Combine all the ingredients in a large pitcher. Let this sit for 30 to 60 minutes in the fridge so the fruit can get saturated. Serve over ice by scooping out the fruit and pouring the sangria over the top.

In a gallon pitcher, combine wine, rum, and pineapple juice. Slice the orange, lemon, peach, and plum. Add to the wine mixture. Drop in the blackberries and stir gently to combine.
