Sangria Recipe with Iced Tea

Day drinking is the ultimate in relaxation. If you can sit down and enjoy a cocktail, in the middle of the day, that means your obligations have been met and you are off the clock for a little while. Unfortunately for me, day drinking also means that I want to take a nap. This sangria recipe with iced tea is the perfect way to indulge in some afternoon sipping without getting sloppy and tired.
Other sangria recipes are mostly wine and sometimes they’ll throw in some brandy or other liquor. In this case, the wine is actually diluted a bit by the addition of the iced tea. This is why it’s perfect for afternoon imbibing. It still has all your favorite fruit flavors, but it also has the refreshing taste of iced tea. And you’re still drinking wine but about half the amount than you usually would with a glass of regular sangria. I’m fairly addicted to iced tea when the weather warms up. But only black tea. Green tea tastes like dirt. It’s a little like a spritzer, but not. This iced tea sangria is super simple to make. You just pour the wine and iced tea in a large pitcher, add some cut up fruit and let it sit for a few hours so the fruit flavor can really shine through. Limes and lemons are the perfect fruit since they pair really nicely with iced tea, but of course you can’t go wrong with strawberries or even stone fruits.
Are you a sangria fan? My go-to for parties that are only a few hours is this passion fruit sangria recipe. But if you are having people over to hang out by the pool for the afternoon, this iced tea sangria is your best bet! I can’t wait for summer pool parties! This sangria recipe with iced tea is the perfect way to serve your wine on a warm day!
