Of note - the sweetness of the sangria will depend on the wine you choose. Next, combine the grapefruit simple syrup, wine, vodka, and fruit in a large pitcher and let it chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. This is an easy step to make in advance, too! Combine fresh grapefruit juice, sugar, grapefruit zest, and a little bit of water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer, cooking until the sugar dissolves. To start with this grapefruit sangria, make a grapefruit simple syrup. Sangria is pretty easy to make, but you do want to start a little bit in advance so you can give the fruit time to marinate in the wine. Sangria is a big batch cocktail that is perfect for a gathering. Sangria recipes have evolved over the years, like many recipes do, and now you will find numerous sangria recipes made with different types of wine and liquor.

I love a good red wine sangria (like this one!) but I also really like a white wine or rosé sangria, especially in the winter months. Sangria originates from Spain and was typically made with red wine, fruit, and brandy.

Grapefruit Slices - grapefruit slices are also marinated in the sangria for even more grapefruit flavor.Strawberries - fresh strawberries are soaked in the sangria for a little treat in every glass! Other fresh fruit would work, too, such as apples, Meyer lemons, or blood oranges.If you want the sangria a little sweeter, you can use Sprite or Fresca. Club Soda - club soda makes the sangria sparkling and carbonated, which I just love.Vodka - a little bit of vodka puts a little kick in this sangria! 😉 Bonus - if you can find grapefruit vodka, that would be delicious!.A pinot Grigio or Sauvignon blanc would also be lovely. Rosé Wine - I love using a rose for this sangria but really any white wine can be used.Grapefruit Zest - citrus zest adds so much flavor when cooking!.Water - not technically an ingredient but it is used when making the simple syrup.

Leaving the caramel alone at any point can cause it to burn. Note: when making caramel, make sure you have all your ingredients gathered before starting. 5 tablespoons unsalted butter sliced into tablespoons, room temperature.Provincial Spiced Salted Caramel Sauce can make deliciously ooey-gooey cinnamon buns!
