FAQs

 Can I skip the simple syrup?
You can, but using syrup lets you control sweetness without diluting the wine.

What wine works best?
Choose a dry Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or inexpensive Chardonnay.

How much club soda should I use?
Start with ½ cup and increase to taste for more or less fizz.

Can I make this ahead?
Yes—make syrup and sangria up to a day ahead for deeper flavor.

Why strain the berries?
Straining yields a clear, smooth syrup without pulp or seeds.

Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh is best; frozen may water down the syrup upon thawing.

How do I keep sangria from getting watered down?
Add ice only at serving time or freeze extra fruit to use as “ice cubes.”
