Citrus Sangria is a bright lively sangria full of citrus fruits like blood oranges, navel oranges, grapefruit, lemon, lime, and more! A perfect winter citrus sangria or one for any time!!
I am so excited to surprise Aubrey from Real Housemoms with this wonderful party. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUBREY!! A little birdie told me one of her favorite things is Sangria, so I made a Citrus Sangria to bring to the party. It is a great recipe for a crowd, not too sweet and just the right punch from all the citrus. This makes the perfect spring/summer drink to liven you up from the deary winter months. Hope you enjoy it Aubrey. Have a fantastic day gal, you deserve it!! A big thank you goes out to Julie from White Lights on Wednesday and Bread Booze Bacon for putting this all together. Come on in and enjoy the party!!
This is an easy make ahead drink to serve at any party and you will have all the ladies lining up to try some of this delicious Citrus Sangria. I usually make a red sangria but thought I would change things up for this wonderful birthday celebration!! Blood oranges are in season right now and so full of flavor and color. They were fun to use in this sangria.
Besides all the fruit and wine I wanted to up this sangria to another level. The addition of Grand Marnier was the perfect touch as it balances out the slightly bitter taste from the fruit just perfectly. You can adjust it to the sweetness that you like.
