Fruity sangria and crisp margaritas in one delicious cocktail. Why choose one drink when you make two in one go with this easy recipe.
This is the best boozy summer drink out there! It is basically a slushie for adults! Perfect for sitting back and relaxing on the porch, and cooling off on a hot summer day. I’m confident that you’ll love the citrusy margarita combined with fruity red wine. Use the leftover tequila in our margaritas, or a tequila sunrise.
Great for date night, book club, or a summer BBQ. Whether you’re hosting a pool party or backyard BBQ, having this boozy slushy to serve your adult guests will surely keep the event festive and fun.
Why This Recipe Rocks
- Ultra Refreshing: SO refreshing on a hot summer day, these go down easy.
- Two In One: Why choose one cocktail when you can have both? It has the fruity wine flavor I crave, alongside classic lime margaritas. The perfect pairing!
- Easy: No fancy drink machines needed here. Make in your regular old Blender. Mine is 20 bucks from Target.
Ingredient Notes
- Wine: Any red wine that you enjoy drinking will do. I used a Spanish Rioja which is typical for Sangria that I picked up at my local liquor store for just over 10 bucks.
- Triple Sec: Triple Sec is an orange-flavored liquor. It is optional but adds great flavor. You can add some to the margarita side of things too if you prefer.
- Limeade: Look for this in your grocery store’s freezer aisle near the frozen orange juice.
- Tequila: I suggest using a Silver tequila you enjoy drinking. Don’t buy the bottom of the barrel or the most top-shelf brand in stock. A mid-range spirit that you enjoy drinking will work just fine.
How To Make Sangria Margaritas
- Make Sangria: In the blender, combine all sangria ingredients.
- Make Margaritas: Wash out the blender, and then blend all margarita ingredients.
- Glass: Rub with lime, and then dip in salt. Layer in the 2 cocktails. Enjoy responsibly.
Tips and Tricks
- Double the recipe to ensure you have plenty of this boozy frozen beverage for the duration of time you’re entertaining guests.
- Make this drink nonalcoholic by subbing the red wine for grape juice, and leaving out the tequila/triple sec.
- Juice correctly: Get the most juice out of your limes and oranges by rolling them on the counter, or microwaving for a few seconds before juicing.
- Don’t skip washing out the blender, or your drink won’t have 2 distinctive colors.
- Salt: If you’re not a fan, use sugar instead for a sweet twist.
