Another sangria you can make with just a few ingredients - this one including most of the basic ingredients, but with the option of making it red or black, giving it a great unnatural look for a Halloween party! The trick is in the mixture:

  • For the bright red sangria: just like any other sangria, but using rosé wine makes it easier to get the right tone.
  • For the dark sangria: use two bottles of dry red wine and add dark juice like pomegranate, grape, or blueberry juice.

Pretty easy, right? Get all the ingredients and details here!

For a dark sangria like this one, go for the classic red wine with blackberries. The natural color of the fruit and the wine will make for a dark mixture that suits Halloween.

You can also try a lighter and fruitier wine for a brighter looking beverage, which will also change the taste. Try it out and see which you prefer!
