Who Said Wine Doesn’t Pair With Sports?

The Warehouse would like to suggest a glass of sangria would be a perfect match that could bring more exciting while watch sport. Sangria is one of a few boozy beverages that doesn’t have to be taken seriously, plus it pairs perfectly with Shrimp chips or many other rice based snacks, spicy dishes, deep fried chilly peppers.

Find out the recipes for these beverages as follow:

1. Ruby Red Wine Sangria Recipe

Ruby Red Wine Sangria Recipe

  • 1 750 ml bottle of red wine (a medium bodied red wine like Garnacha, Merlot or Tempranillo)
  • 1 cup ruby red grapefruit juice
  • Juice from 2 limes
  • ¼ cup sugar

TOP PICK: This recipe was one of our top picks even though it didn’t have the twinkle of soda water. The grapefruit juice adds another dimension with its slightly bitter note that actually worked surprisingly well with the red wine we used (a Grenache blend from Languedoc Roussillon). You’ll notice that this recipe is devoid of brandy or any other liquor. If you want, you can bump the flavor up a notch and add a ¼ to a ½ cup of brandy or vodka, just be sure to serve over ice.

2. White Wine Sangria Recipe

White Wine Sangria Recipe

  • 1 750 ml bottle of white wine (a zesty or aromatic white wine like Torrontes, Chenin Blanc, Riesling or Pinot Grigio)
  • ¼ – ½ cup sugar
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • fruit for garnish (peaches, apples, berries or citrus)
  • Mint or Basil (if available)

You can use nearly any kind of fruit to garnish a White Wine Sangria. While some recipes call for the addition of rum, brandy, vodka or limoncello, we opted to use Cava instead. Use only a quarter cup of sugar if you tend to like ‘less sweet’ drinks. We liked this recipe just fine, but it somehow didn’t have the complexity we expect from a great cocktail.

3. White Peach Sangria with Cava Recipe

White Peach Sangria with Cava Recipe

  • 1 750 bottle of Cava or Prosecco (a zesty or aromatic white wine like Torrontes, Chenin Blanc, Riesling or Pinot Grigio)
  • ¼ cup Brandy or Triple Sec
  • 2-3 tablespoons sugar
  • 3-4 White Peaches
  • Juice from 1 Lemon

TOP PICK: This recipe was the best and it’s so simple. Add brandy and lemon juice to the bottom of your pitcher. Cut up the peaches into cubes and add with ice. Top with Cava or Prosecco and serve immediately. As you sip, the peaches macerate in your drink.
