This cool and refreshing Sangria Ice is a perfect summer treat for grown ups!
The recipe is created by making a simple sangria, a traditional Spanish combination of fruit and wine. After the fruit infuse the wine with their juices the mixture is frozen for a delicious summer dessert.
I made a red wine sangria using Cabernet Sauvingnon with a frozen bag of mixed blackberries, blueberries and raspberries, along with an orange.
I let the fruit sit in the wine in the refrigerator overnight, and then pressed them through a seize to get lots of fruity flavor in the Sangria Ice. The resulting frozen dessert had a a subtle taste of wine along with a hint of orange and berries.
It takes a little while to make, since you have to let the flavors mingle, but the time is mostly hands off, waiting, and the result it worth the wait.

I love this as a summer dessert because it is cool and refreshing without being overly sweet. It is perfect for serving at a small summer gathering on the patio! What summer treats are you enjoying?
I’ve never made (or drank) Sangria before, but this sounds like it might be the perfect introduction!
Yummy! Nothing more refreshing then a glass of sangria but frozen adds a whole new element to the mix! I am always on the look out for a new fun drink to share with my friends. Will have to try this the next get together we have.
