There’s something about a wine glass – even a stemless one – that makes drinks more special, don’t you think? There’s something pretty perfect about fruity drinks which is why Moscato Sangria is my go-to rather than a mimosa. Don’t get me wrong, champagne has it’s place, but I prefer a sweet instead of dry wine. With fresh fruit, this cocktail is just the thing to make your brunch wine a little more special.
I prefer Moscato over just about any other kind of wine because of it’s sweetness. It pairs really well with fresh fruit which is why making sangria with moscato is so very delicious.
What does Moscato taste like?
Moscato is a sweet, white, sparkling wine that is most oven made with muscat grapes. It’s often considered a dessert wine because of the sweetness. Pink Moscato which is what I used in this recipe, is very similar to white Moscato. That’s because it has just a little bit of red grapes along with the muscat grapes. Red Moscato uses even more of the red grapes. Any of these will work in Moscato Sangria, but the pink moscato is my favorite.

April 12, 2019 at 5:28 amWe always do a ham, and since spring means fresh lemons on the tree, usually some type of lemon pie for dessert.
