Sweet Tea Sangria is one of those easy recipes that is so easy to make yet so good that you’ll be making it again and again! Perfect for summer barbecues, brunches or showers.
So much has been happening around here with this little blog. A lot of back end work, SEO ops, fixing, fixing, fixing…it’s exciting in a nerve-wracking kind of way. I’ve hired some pretty fantastic people to help, though, so thankfully it’s far more on the exciting side that the I-want-to-pull-my-hair-out-and-scream side :)
Or maybe it’s because I’ve taken to drinking. Ha! No, not really…at least not any more than normal. But I do love a great cocktail, especially in the summertime. I promised you I’d make a few more cocktails out of my summer sweet tea recipe (don’t forget the baking soda!) so I’ve been making quite a few batches over these past weeks. It typically disappears before cocktails can be made but I’ve managed to keep enough around for some end-of-day enjoyment, too.
This sweet tea sangria recipe will quickly become of of your favorites, as it already has mine. Whenever you have some fresh summer fruit lying around, whip up a quick batch of sweet tea and mix it with a bottle of white wine. Toss in your fruit then let it sit a few hours before enjoying – it really couldn’t be easier.

I’m a big fan of mixing sweet tea and fruit juices, so I don’t know how I missed the opportunity for a Sweet Tea Sangria! This beverage is definitely happening in my house this weekend. (Especially since the DC metro area is supposed to have pleasant weather.)

I’m a fan of that, too, Evan! And I’m also in the DC area – looking forward to the great weather this weekend!

Courtney kale says
This looks great! Going to try this with your sweet tea recipe as well. What kind of white wine do you use?
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Courtney! I normally just use whatever white I’ve got on hand which, for me, is usually a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio. But I think just about any would work (with the possible exception of a particularly smoky Chardonnay). Hope that helps and that you enjoy! :)
Lindsey says
How many servings does this make? Hoping to make it for a party, it looks and sounds amazing!
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Lindsey, I’d say that it serves about 6-8 but you could easily double or triple it depending on the size of your party. I hope you have a great time!!
Joell says
Any thought on adding some sweet tea vodka or some peach schapps to this recipe?
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Joell, I haven’t tried to add either because I love the recipe as-is. But you could certainly give it a shot! Maybe try adding just a small amount to one glass then adjust the ratio if you decide you like it.
Megan Marlowe says
I absolutely love sweet tea and sangria! So this is awesome!
Kristy Bernardo says
Thank you, Megan!
Kirsten says
Kristy,
This looks like a delicious summer sipper. Great for gatherings! I can see myself just nipping a glass while cooking dinner, a glass with dinner, a bit for after dinner . . . I like my fruity summer drinks!
Thanks!
Kristy Bernardo says
It is great for gatherings, you’re so right! And it’s light so it’s perfect for summer.

Richa says
These look amazing. I love the pictures Kristy, but above all the idea of a sweet tea sangria. I’m definitely making these on Sunday.
Kristy Bernardo says
You’ll love it, Richa!

Jay says
This looks great. I’ve been looking for a light dessert that incorporates raspberries and this looks like a winner. I use bon maman raspberry jam because I think it has the best raspberry flavor. I’ve tried alot of the sugar free varieties and found they don’;t have the same tartness that you find with a good raspberry. So, I use bon maman or else reduce fresh raspberries with sugar if I have the time and the berries.
I’m, going to try this with a ganache topping. It looks really nice. I think the whipped cream and raspberry jam mixed with the chocolate cookies is a fantastic combo. I’ve done icebox cakes before and love them I think they set really well and the long set time is great for the flavor.
Sarah says
I have 2 pitchers of this chilling in my refrigerator right now for game night tonight! I wish I had read the suggestion about not using chardonnay but I also added peach schnapps. So we’ll see how it turns out!
Kristy Bernardo says
Hey Sarah! Let me know how it turned out! Cheers :)
