As we are about to dive deep into the holiday season, it means tons of parties and get-togethers are just on the horizon. I have many options up my sleeve for pre-batched cocktails and drinks to serve.

But I, Ashley, always fall back to one that is essentially full proof — sangria. It is an elevated option to serve at parties without much more effort than pouring a glass of wine. My kind of entertaining!

Sangria is a popular option to serve as a hostess, due to it’s simplicity and its versatility, while still seeming like the mostest (ha!). Vodka sodas need not apply here.

I made a simple sangria that highlights the best of this season’s flavors and features one of my favorite fruits figs.

Meet the Autumn Fig Sangria recipe…

Can I Use Different Types of Wine for Sangria

As the weather becomes chillier, you can replace it with a crisp, fruit-forward red wine such as pinot noir for more intense flavors to recreate something like our mulled wine recipe rather than a sangria version.

Let it warm up a bit outside of the fridge post infusing to bring out the red’s flavors more.

Substituting Ingredients in a Sangria Recipe

Figs are in the prime time right now. But if you do not have access to fresh figs, rehydrated dried figs or other seasonal fruit like persimmons can be used in it’s place.

The beauty of Sangria is it’s ability to adjust based on tastes and the season.

What Fruit Goes Best In Sangria?

You can use almost any fruits in sangria, but the most common choices are slices of orange or lemon. Some people like to add cherries and peaches for extra flavor; always marinate your fruits overnight before making this refreshing drink!

Can You Leave Fruit In Sangria Overnight?

It’s generally recommended that you let the wine rest overnight or at the very least, for a couple of hours in the refrigerator before serving it. The fruit juices get into the wine, sweetening it up and letting it infuse.

Another great thing that comes with making sangria, pretty presentation. I like to pick fruits that not only work well flavor-wise, but color-wise as well.

The infused fruit will end up in the glass as you serve or guests help themselves which means you don’t have to stop and cute garnishes throughout the party.

  • Apple cider
  • Apple brandy
  • Orange liqueur
  • Orange, sliced
  • Red apple sliced
  • Pear, sliced
  • Figs, sliced

It’s really that simple! Just a pour and a stir, and you’re ready to celebrate with all your guests!
