Final Sip: Sangria Tips 🍹

• Chill Time = Flavor Time: Letting sangria rest in the fridge helps the flavors infuse. 2–4 hours is ideal, overnight is chef’s kiss.

• Use Fresh, Ripe Fruit: If it tastes good on its own, it’ll shine in your sangria.

• Make It Boozy—or Not: Each recipe can be adapted to be alcohol-free by swapping wine for juice or sparkling grape juice.

• Batch Friendly: Scale up for parties! Each recipe makes 4–6 servings.
