The harmonious change from winter to spring surely adds to a fresh twist on an age-old ritual of drinking wine. The season of renewal, rebirth, and blooming gardens calls for light, lively, and fresh drinks that complement the spirit of nature. Originating in Spain, Sangria moved swiftly from its simple ancestors of red wine and citrus to current versatile applications. Today, there are more variations than anyone can dream: white, rosé, sparkling, herbal, or tropical-all well suited for the frivolous personality of spring. Wine cocktails have recently been introduced, combining the fine class of wine and the rambunctious spirit of mixology.

Strawberry Rosé Sangria

Rosé completely embodies the spirit of spring. Pink-hued and floral-scented, it is a soft-fruited delight to use as a base for any spring sangria. In this rendition, the sparkling strawberries steal the limelight, enjoining the rosé's gentle sweetness in delightful unison.

Elderflower liqueur introduces an almost-otherworldly floral aromatic note into the equation that works beautifully with the fruit and wine to round off the palate; orange, for its part, contributes citrus brightness, while sparkling water at the end brings the fizz and lightness that makes this sangria garden-party-drink, bridal-shower-go-juice, and tulip-watching-picnicking magnificence. Mint adds a fresh touch and chic appeal to complete the lifestyle magazine drink look.

Tropical White Sangria

Can't go to the beach? Then let this tropical girl bring the beach to you. If Sauvignon Blanc is the crisp, fruity heart of the drink, then one sip takes you to the breezy island. Pineapple and mango give the impression of a mouth-coatingly luscious and gloriously sunny sweetness, in tension with that ever-interesting tartness of kiwi slices.

The coconut rum provides a hint of vacation indulgence, with its aroma of sunblock and briny cool ocean air flooding the senses. Club soda lightens the mix up for a bubbly afternoon sipper. If you want guests swooning over your tropical charms, serve this sangria in giant pitchers at your next BBQ or outdoor bash.

Cucumber Melon Sangria

Light, hydrating, and elegant - cucumber and melon are not names that would naturally spring to mind when one thought of sangria. But they make a Hellenic citrus spin on the drink. For the taste buds that enjoy delicate taste as opposed to syrupy sweetness, this sangria is just right. It lays a Pinot Grigio foundation; this grape is, after all, famous for its dry and crisp profile, and honeydew melon and cucumber slices call for a delicate infusion of coolness into the making.

Lime juice and simple syrup balance out acidity and sweetness; sparkling water gives it a refreshing fizzy finish. Drinking this sangria is reminiscent of spending a spa day with friends or relaxing after a yoga session on the lawn. Just clean and cool like that.

Cherry Blossom Sangria

The quintessential herald of spring is the cherry blossom, and Sangria is now a tribute to its ephemeral nature. Built around sweet notes of Riesling's floral character, the drink receives bright, juicy color and body from fresh or frozen cherries and a splash of cherry juice. It is rounded out with warmth and complexity from brandy, while lemon slices perk up the brightness and freshness. 

This sangria is like an event inside a glass. It is best for enjoying elegance and delightful flavor, whether you're hosting a spring soirée or soaking in the season. Serve chilled, preferably under a blooming tree.

Blush Citrus Sangria

This final sangria is a visual and flavorful stunner, with citrus slices swirling like sunshine in your glass. White Zinfandel makes the perfect base with its fruity and slightly sweet taste. Add grapefruit, lemon, and orange slices for a burst of spring brightness and a touch of bitterness that balances the sweetness.

Orange liqueur gives a refined complexity, and grapefruit soda lends fizz and a refreshing tartness. This sangria is a great addition to brunch tables or Easter celebrations, where it can stand proudly next to deviled eggs and pastel desserts.

Wine Cocktails

Sangria is always immensely popular, while wine cocktails come in handy at those times when feelings need to be both created and spontaneous. These cocktails are wonderful examples of combining the sophistication of wine with the art of creating mixed beverages. Great options for serving at smaller gatherings or alone as a special treat, these cocktails prove that wine does not always have to be served straight.

White Wine Mojito

A mojito usually starts with rum, but direct switching into a fresh Sauvignon Blanc ends up creating something much lighter and more aromatic. Each muddling of fresh mint with sugar and fresh lime creates an entire flavor base that is zest and energizing in the mouth. A splash of white rum deepens the drink into the cocktail, while the Sauvignon Blanc lifts citrussy and herbal notes.

Finally finished with club soda and poured over ice it makes for a perfect pre-dinner drink on a warm day. This should go splendidly with light appetizers like shrimp skewers or goat cheese crostini and looks beautifully chic in a tall glass with mint garnish.

Red-Wine Mule

This makes a perfect cocktail-within-a-cocktail a little old-fashioned tumble-away into an earth-backed place. Instead of the vodka-only original, implement a robust red from Shiraz or Zinfandel to deepen the taste and complexity. The wine mingles along with vodka and lime juice, topped with spicy ginger beer, for that unmistakable kick of mule.

The ideal cocktail for those into red wine and appreciate a refreshing beverage, this one is served into a copper mug with a lime wedge thrown on top to give a little presentation, and perhaps even a sprig of rosemary, to reach an atmosphere that balances between cozy and calm.

Rosé Paloma

Palomas are typically made with tequila and grapefruit soda, but swapping tequila for rosé wine gives this cocktail a delicate, sparkling lift. Grapefruit and lime juice offer tartness, while agave syrup rounds out the flavors with a soft sweetness.

This pink-hued drink is Instagram-worthy and tastes as beautiful as it looks. It’s perfect for bridal showers, book clubs, or a girls' night on the terrace. Serve it in a coupe or wine glass with a grapefruit slice perched on the rim for instant elegance.

Sangria Spritz

Every once in a while, you fancy the flavor of sangria, minus the hassle of extracting the entire fruit salad. Such is the taste of the cocktail made by a small quantity of premade white sangria and mixing it up with a dash of bitter-orange Aperol and topping one off with bubbles as Prosecco gives balance.

This easily takes the cake for any of those brunches and daytime parties where you want to have something to serve that is festive but somehow doesn't take a lot of effort to prepare. It is quick to make, pretty in a glass, and easy to sip. Try it with smoked salmon bagels or a spring frittata.

The Cabernet Sour

Sours are timeless, and this one's twist applies red wine to full effect. The rich flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon bring the depth and body, while sour balance is created by lemon juice and simple syrup. A dash of bitters adds complexity; and an optional egg white makes the drink silky and gives it elegant foam.

This is the ultimate cocktail for evening or special occasion occasions when you want something a bit fancy. It pairs nicely with savory crackers, be it charcuterie, aged cheeses, or olives. Finally, serve in a coupe glass and add a twist of lemon zest for the full effect.
