Summer is the perfect time to enjoy refreshing treats, and what could be better than a fruity, boozy popsicle to cool you down? Sangria popsicles are a delightful twist on the classic Spanish beverage, combining the flavors of wine, fruit, and a hint of sweetness into a frozen treat perfect for any summer gathering. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue or want to elevate your poolside lounging, these popsicles will add a splash of fun and flavor to your summer festivities.
Sangria Ingredients
To get started, you'll need a few simple ingredients:
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup cranberry, apple, or grape juice
- 1/2 cup sliced red grapes
- 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- Popsicle molds
QUICK TIP: No ice pop molds? No worries! Grab some small paper cups and fill them about halfway to three-quarters full. Add the fruits. Cover each cup with tin foil, poke wooden sticks through the center of the foil, and pop them in your freezer.
Sangria Recipe Instructions
Making sangria popsicles is easy and fun. Follow these steps to create your own:
- Prepare the Sangria Mixture: In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup of red wine with 1 cup of cranberry, apple, or grape juice. Stir well to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Add the Fruit: Add the chopped red grapes, strawberries, and blueberries to the pitcher. Give it a good stir to distribute the fruit evenly.
- Fill the Molds: Carefully pour the sangria mixture into the popsicle molds, including some fruit in each mold. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion as the mixture freezes.
- Freeze: Insert the popsicle sticks and place the molds in the freezer. Allow them to freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure they are fully set.
- Enjoy: Once frozen, run the molds under warm water for a few seconds to release the popsicles. Serve immediately and enjoy!
