Creating This Summer Sangria Recipe

Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite and simple drinks that highlights how tasty summer really is! There’s nothing better then sipping on a nice cold cocktail – especially this Mango Raspberry Sangria – on hot summer days.

When entertaining, it’s easy to overextend yourself and make the foods fresh the day of. I’m one of those people. Detailing the party until the time the guests arrive, which leaves me still in my p.j’s and scrambling to get myself decent.

That’s the beauty of sangria. No bartender needed for this drink recipe, no shaking of the cocktail shakers; just toss and mix the ingredients the night before.

This mango recipe combines all the cheery and colorful tastes of summer into one beautiful drink.

I combined a dry rosé wine with fresh mango and raspberries; it’s fresh, crisp and refreshing to make this fruity rosé sangria for summer!

This Mango Sangria Recipe would also be a delicious cocktail for Mother’s Day Brunch or a girls night in with a cheese tasting party.

What is Sangria

Traditional sangria is a punch like alcoholic beverage made from wine that originates from Spain and Portugal. Sangria has strict labeling rules under EU law stating that only sangria made in these two countries is allowed to be sold as “sangria.”

Here is what the EU defines as Sangria:

• it is made from wine
• addition of citrus fruit extracts, with or without the juice
• spices may be added
• carbon dioxide (i.e. “sparkling”) may be added
• has not been colored
• ABV between 4.5% – 12%
• may contain solid pieces of citrus-fruit pulp or peel

Classic sangria is traditionally made with a base of red wine, however there are many different variations using red wine, white wine, and rosé wine. In addition to wine, this delicious drink usually contains soda, added liqueur, fruit and some kind of sweetener.

What is the Best Rosé Wine for this Summer Sangria?

I prefer a dry rosé wine for this rosé sangria recipe because I think the mango puree, agave, and sparkling raspberry juice provide the right amount of sweetness.

A good rule of thumb when choosing a wine for sangria is to look at the tasting notes of that wine. Choose a wine that has notes of the fruits that are present in the sangria recipe, or flavors that pair well with the chosen fruits.

In this case, something with berry or raspberry notes, or mango notes would work well. A wine with peach or orange notes would also work well, because peach and orange pair well with raspberry and mango.

However, making this rosé sangria recipe is all about personal preference since you’re the one drinking it! If you prefer a sweet wine, then by all means go ahead and use one!

How to Make Raspberry Mango Sangria

As with any good homemade sangria recipe, this one is a cinch to make!

1. First, make the mango puree.
2. Combine the mango puree, grand marnier, and agave nectar and mix.
3. Then, add the wine and mango mixture to a large pitcher.
4. After that, stir in the mango chunks and raspberries.
5. Chill overnight.
6. Then, just before serving, stir in the sparkling raspberry juice and garnish with mint and additional sangria fruit.

The above is simply a quick summary of this recipe. Check out the full recipe in the free printable recipe card at the bottom of this post for all the detailed instructions.

Can I Prepare Sangria Ahead of Time?

Yes! The best part about this this easy sangria recipe is that you can make elements of it ahead of time.

You can combine the mango puree, wine, fruit, and agave ahead of time. Do NOT add the sparkling raspberry juice until you plan on serving the rosé sangria because it will lose its carbonation over time.

Tips for Making The Best Mango Sangria

• It’s well worth using the fresh ingredients rather then frozen, although frozen fruits would work just fine too.
• I used Izze natural sparkling juice in this recipe, but use any brand you’d like.
• I prefer using agave nectar because you don’t have to boil it in a small saucepan while the sugar dissolves, but you could also make a simple syrup with a 1:1 ratio of sugar to water.
• Make sure your mango is ripe before slicing it. Ripe mango will provide the sweetest, strongest flavor. If you can’t find ripe mangos to make the puree, you can try mango nectar in place of the puree. Learn how to cut a mango if you’ve never done it before.
• I don’t recommend adding ice cubes to your pitcher of sangria as it can water it down.

How to Serve this Sangria

This recipe for Mango Sangria is best served cold, so you’ll want to chill it for at least a few hours before serving it.

Chilling it in the refrigerator for several hours before serving allows all of the flavors to marinate together and you’ll get much better flavor than serving it immediately after serving.

Serve it in a clear glass pitcher to show off the fruit and beautiful colors. For a party, a clear glass punch bowl works best for a big batch of this Mango Sangria recipe.

For serving glasses: they make sangria glasses, but you can serve this recipe for mango sangria in whatever glassware you prefer.

Some people like stemmed wine glasses. Others prefer something without a stem, like a tumbler or a stemless wineglass. For outdoor events, it may be worth looking into shatterproof options when serving this rosé sangria.

Don’t forget to garnish! Try places fresh raspberries and chunks of mango on a cocktail toothpick to serve with individual glasses. Then, add a sprig of mint.

Recipe Substitutions to Try

• If you can’t find sparkling raspberry juice, you’re welcome to substitute another type of sparkling fruit juice.
• My favorite sangria fruits for this recipe are mango and raspberries, but you can add other fruits if desired.
• I prefer using rosé wine, but a white wine could also work if you prefer white wine sangria.

Typically I don’t recommend making a bunch of substitutions when preparing a new recipe. When making substitutes, you won’t know if you don’t like the recipe or if the recipe didn’t turn out due to a preparation mistake, an ill effect from the substitute, or something else.

However, if you do choose to make substitutions in a recipe, I recommend only making one substitute at a time so you don’t have a building effect of multiple poor substitutions.

How to Make a Virgin Sangria

If you don’t drink alcohol, you can easily make a virgin sangria version of this raspberry mango sangria with just a couple of substitutions! Here’s how:

In place of the Grand Marnier, you can use this Orange Non-Alcoholic Spirit.

What is a good non-alcoholic alternative to wine?

There are a lot more alcohol-free or alcohol removed wines on the market than there were even just a few years ago. Here are a couple of rosé wines that contain 0.5% or less ABV.

• Chateau Diana Zero Alcohol Rosé
• Surely Non-Alcoholic Rosé
• Wölffer Spring In A Non-Alcoholic Wine
• Giesen 0% Alcohol New Zealand Rose
• Fre Rosé

Safety tip: Depending on the brand you use, some alcohol-removed wines spirits may still contain trace amounts of alcohol. Check the label before using! 

How Long Does this Sangria Last?

Sangria will last for several days in the refrigerator. However, if you’ve already added the sparkling raspberry juice you can expect that the sangria will no longer have any bubbly left to it after the first day. as long as you haven’t added the sparkling raspberry juice.
