It’s only appropriate that I post a yummy drink for Labor Day #SundaySupper. On Memorial Day I posted these beer margaritas which were both a huge hit with my friends and here on the blog. Blend up some of this Sangria and your guests may never want to leave.
After a few attempts I finally found the perfect ratio for this Frozen Sangria. Veering from the typical sangria I used rum rather than brandy, mainly because I had rum in the house but not brandy, either will probably work fine.
Beat the end of summer heat. If you are looking for a refreshing drink to enjoy while slaving over the BBQ this weekend, Frozen Sangria is the answer.
Frozen Sangria
Recipe type: Drink
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup red wine (I used Cabernet)
- 1 ½ oz dark rum
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 rings of slice pineapple, canned is fine
- 1 peach, pitted and skin removed
- 2 tbsp sugar
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- Ice
Instructions
- Combine wine, rum, orange juice, cinnamon, and sugar in a pitcher and stir to combine. Add fruit.
- Dump pitcher contents into blender. Blend to puree fruit.
- Unless you have a really big blender you will probably need to pour half the mixture back into the pitcher and work in batches.
- With half of the sangria mixture in the blender add about 2 cups of ice and blend. Add more ice if necessary.
- Pour in glasses and garnish with lime wedge.

Sounds delicious for a warm day.
I do enjoy a good sangria and I have not had one frozen yet. Thanks for the inspiration to do so!
I want THIS for my Labor Day cocktail! Thank you!
Nice twist on sangria, Lane. I love it!

Yes, sangria is definitely most appropriate for a labor day cookout! Can’t wait to try this!
I don’t drink too often anymore, but I do make exceptions for sangria
I’ve never had it frozen – brilliant!
whoa….sounds refreshing and dangerous….in a good way!
I want a whole pitcher, please. I am loving the sound of frozen Sangria…and I’m sweatin’ it out in the kitchen right now, so there couldn’t be a better time!
I never thought of making a frozen sangria…what a perfect idea on a hot holiday! Beautiful, too!

I’m a sucker for rum. And Sangrias. And cocktails. This drink is perfect!
Lane, this cocktail looks amazing. I never thought to make a frozen sangria, but it makes perfect sense. Nice and cool for the Summer.
One can never have to many sangria recipes, and I am LOVING this frozen sangria recipe. Will be trying it very soon.
