Easy Moscato Sangria

Today’s recipe is a part of #EasterBrunchWeek and has been sponsored by GROSCHE International. As always, all opinions are my own. For more information, please see our Disclosure Policy. #ad #EveryCupFillsAnother

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 its 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.

Moscato is my wine of choice over just about any other kind of wine because I enjoy the sweetness. It pairs well with fresh fruit which is why making sangria with Moscato is so very delicious!

Never tried Sangria? Here’s what you need to know!

Sangria is a sweet cocktail made from red or white wine. It’s customized with your favorite fruit and brandy or fruit juice. It’s sweet and light and perfect for a summer party or brunch!

What kind of wine do you use in Sangria?

You can use red wine, white wine or a bubbly wine like Moscato. Bottom line – only use a wine you would drink!

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 (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!

How long should sangria sit before drinking?

Sangria is best chilled and should be refrigerated at least two hours before serving. Making the Moscato Sangria Recipe the night before is even better! It allows the fruit to soak up the cocktail juices and they are so tasty!!

How do you serve Moscato Sangria Recipe?

Serve this cocktail chilled in a wine glass (stemless glasses work great here too!) Have plenty of chopped fruit available and add about 1/4 cup of diced fruit to the glass prior to adding the drink.

Moscato Sangria Shopping List

  • Moscato (white, pink or red) – choose your favorite!
  • Blueberries and Strawberries – a perfect choice for sangria.
  • Oranges and Limes – the tang of lime and sweet oranges give this a tropical flare.

How To Make Moscato Sangria

It really couldn’t be more simple to make this sweet delicious drink!

  1. First, add the prepared fruit to the infuser pitcher.
  2. Next, pour the Moscato over the fruit.
  3. Then, refrigerate about 2 hours until chilled (overnight is even better).
  4. Finally, serve with fresh fruit garnishes.

    For Easter we normally have a brown sugar spiral glazed ham, scalloped potatoes, roasted carrots, brussel sprouts, baked beans and sausage cornbread stuffing casserole. For dessert we have Boston Cream cake and Apple pie.

    We always do a ham, and since spring means fresh lemons on the tree, usually some type of lemon pie for dessert.

    For Easter I have to make something LEMON, like my favorite lemon bars, the beautiful bright color and citrusy taste is perfect to feel like spring and summer are finally here!
