↑This mango sangria is light and fruity. Sweet wine, mango chunks, mango nectar and vodka make this a summer beverage to remember!
My sisters and I LOVE sangria. We’ve been making them for years. I remember when we were sangria novices. Our first few pitches had way too much red wine. They were very dark, bitter and oh so dry. The minimal fruit that we had sitting in the pitcher did absolutely nothing for the taste.
We were three determined sisters, however, and so we tried our hands at sangria again. This time, the wine was just right, and the fruit was plenty, but so was the amount of brandy. Liqueur makes for a fun party until it doesn’t. Meaning hard alcohol can shut down a party very quickly!
Eventually, my sisters and I were able to find the exact right balance between wine, spirits, and fruit. In fact, I would consider us expert sangria makers. Strangely, the only sangria I only have a few sangrias on the blog is this Cucumber Melon White Sangria – which is delicious. It is ultra light, crisp and refreshing and so is the White Sangria Recipe. But this mango sangria might be my new favorite.
For mango sangria:
I used a light pink spritzer wine, but a sweet white or rose would work as well. I added frozen chunks of mango (fresh is good too), mango nectar, which I found in the organic section of my grocery store (which is perfect for this Mango Rum Punch Sorbet!). I added vodka, sweet strawberries and club soda for tickling bubbles.
This sangria was gone in minutes. It’s sweet, be forewarned if that’s not your preference. But it is also mellow and fresh. This is the kind of sangria that begs for friends, and lazy summer days!
Like fruity cocktails? Then you need to try this Blueberry Vodka Lemonade made with fresh, plump blueberries or this Blackberry Mojito made with tart blackberries or this Frozen Mango Margarita!!

How amazing does this look?!? Yum! I love that you used a sparkling wine, as well!
Jeanna says
You sisters r on to something here, I made the mistake of making vats of sangria for a party once and it was way too strong. Used lots of expensive fruit and expensive red wine (from Chile I think).
This looks way better and sounds like it tastes way better without knocking you out.

This looks so refreshing! But I think there might be a problem with your recipe plugin, because when I click, “Get ingredients”, nothing happens. And two of the quantity values on the ingredients are simply question marks. It could just be on my end, but thought I’d give you a heads up to check! Thanks for sharing at the Family Joy Linkup!

Sangria is so good. I usually keep some frozen fruits in my freezer to add into my wine–lazy, lazy! LOL. But your recipe looks great! Hope to see you back at the #HomeMattersParty

Me too! Thank you!
Mel says
Hi, this looks delicious! Can this be made a day or two in advance? Want to try this for a summer bday bbq, so will need plenty!!
Tanya Schroeder says
Yes! You can make this a day in advance for sure! If you do that, I would not add any fresh fruit garnish until just before serving; they will get mushy and break down if you add them in advance.
Mel says
Great, thanks!!
