Frozen grape sangria is a chilled, slushy spin on the classic Spanish punch, perfect for summer sipping. Combining the natural sweetness of frozen grapes with wine, citrus, and a splash of liqueur, it’s fruity, refreshing, and incredibly easy to make. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, pool party, or simply lounging on the patio, this icy sangria is guaranteed to elevate your warm-weather vibes.
Unlike traditional sangria, which is made with sliced fruit and chilled wine, frozen grape sangria blends the fruit directly into the drink. Frozen grapes not only serve as a sweet base but also give the sangria its signature slush-like texture—no need for ice that waters down the flavor. Choose seedless red or green grapes, freeze them overnight, and you’re halfway there.
To create this sangria, blend frozen grapes with a bottle of dry red or white wine (depending on your flavor preference), a bit of orange liqueur like triple sec or Grand Marnier, and freshly squeezed orange or lemon juice. You can sweeten it with honey or agave syrup if desired, and adjust the strength by adding a splash of soda water or club soda for a lighter touch.
The result is a vibrant, wine-forward drink with a smooth, fruity finish. Pour it into glasses and garnish with citrus slices, mint sprigs, or a few extra frozen grapes for a festive touch. It’s equally stunning in a pitcher for serving a crowd or blended by the glass for a quick personal treat.
Frozen grape sangria is not only delicious but also a fun and colorful way to use up leftover wine or extra grapes. It’s a go-to cocktail that blends the familiar comfort of sangria with the icy refreshment of a frozen drink—perfectly suited for sunny afternoons and outdoor gatherings. Cheers to chilling out in the most delicious way possible!

Yum!!!! This is my new favorite drink! I might add more honey next time though, it’s a little tangy.
Glad to hear you loved it! Honey sounds like a great idea to balance out the tanginess. Cheers!
I dunno, I tried it and it was way too sweet for me. Maybe cutting down on the honey would help instead?
Not as good as my grandma’s sangria. She uses red wine tho. This is ok, I guess.
I think this sounds great! But I get that no one can top grandma’s recipes. Everyone has their little twist, ya know!
Why blend the grapes? Can’t you just throw them in? Seems less work.
This sounds so refreshing! Can’t wait to try it at my summer BBQ!
Sounds delicious! Perfect for hot days. Hope you enjoy it!
I made this for a party and it was a hit! Everyone loved it! 🥳🍷
Sounds delicious! I’ll definitely try this at my next gathering. Thanks for sharing!
I dunno about mixing wine with soda… Seems kinda weird.
I thought the same at first, but it actually makes it super refreshing! Give it a try!
Nah, mixing wine with anything is a sin! Stick to just the wine, please.
Simple and delicious!! I will make this for my next barbecue!
I tried this but I think I put too much honey. It was way too sweet for me!
This sangria is a hit at every party! Super refreshing.
Yummy! I swapped the white wine for rosé and it was fab! 😍
That sounds delicious! I’ve got to try it with rosé next time. 🍷
I don’t drink wine but my husband loved this drink. He said it was great!
I don’t know why you’d need club soda, doesn’t that dilute it?
Perfect for a hot day! My friends loved it! 🍇🍹
Sounds refreshing! Can’t wait to try it myself. 🍷
omg this is so easy and TASTY!! Im making it again this weekend! 😍
This is the BEST summer drink! So refreshing and easy to make!
I totally agree! It’s super tasty! I made it last weekend and everyone loved it. Perfect for hot days!
Sounds good but I ain’t sure about using honey. Isn’t it too sweet? I prefer less sugar drinks.
Grapes???? Are you serious? I can just use fruit punch instead.
I swear this is just grape juice with alcohol. Where’s the flavor?
I totally disagree! The blend of citrus with the wine makes it refreshing, not just grape juice. You might want to adjust the honey for more depth!
Nah, it ain’t just grape juice! Maybe you need to let it sit a bit or add more liqueur if you want a stronger flavor. Just saying!
I don’t know about blending grapes, seems weird. But I gave it a try and it was okay.
Glad you gave it a shot! Blending grapes might sound odd, but it can actually be super refreshing. Perfect for hot days!
Eh, I dunno. Blending grapes? That just sounds wrong. I like my grapes whole, thank you very much!
I thought this would be more complex. Just grapes and wine? Really? Does it taste good tho? 🤷♂️
Honestly, it’s super delicious! The flavors blend really well. You should definitely try it! 🍷
I don’t know, it sounds kinda too simple. How can just grapes and wine be good? 🤔
Is this even real sangria? Where’s the red wine? 😒
Good but needs vodka. Everything is better with vodka.
Sooo good! But can I use grapes from a can? Lol idk 🤔
Serve cold or it tastes yucky. Didn’t follow the steps and regret it.
I think this is too sweet. I like sangria more tart. Maybe less honey next time.
SUPER DELICIOUS! I made this for my friends and they loved it. Will become a staple in my home!
Sounds great! I’m definitely trying this for my next party!
so good! will make again
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It’s my favorite summer drink too. 🍇🍷
Yum! I didn’t have orange liqueur, so I used peach schnapps instead and it was still great!
This is amazing! Perfect for summer BBQs. Everyone loved it!
I’m glad to hear you loved it! It’s definitely a hit in the summer. 🍷🍇
This was so refreshing! Perfect for summer parties. 💖
I dunno, grapes in a drink sounds kinda weird to me. Is it really that good? I mean, how does it even taste? 🤔
Totally agree! This sangria is just the best for hot days. I made it for my BBQ last week, and everyone loved it! 🍷
I added too much honey and now it’s too sweet for me. Next time I’ll measure better.
Not sure about the honey. Thought it needed more wine. 🤷♀️
Just made this! So refreshing! I used sparkling water instead and it still rocked!
1/4 cup lime juice? Isn’t that too much? I just used a splash.
Flavor was great, but I ended up with a giant mess from the blending! Not sure if it’s worth it.
Didn’t have orange liqueur so I used vodka… still turned out great!
Meh… tasted like a cheap wine smoothie. Not my cup of tea.
This drink made my party a hit! Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe.
OMG this is so good! I had it on a hot day and it was perfection! 🍹
Sounds nice, but isn’t it just a glorified grape juice? 🤔
Glad you loved it! Perfect for summer. I can’t wait to try it myself! ☀️
This is perfect for summer! So refreshing and easy to make. I loved it!
I don’t know about using frozen grapes. They got all mushy in the blender. Not my favorite.
Too sweet for me. I would maybe add more lime juice next time.
I totally get that! It can be a bit much with all that sweetness. More lime sounds like a great idea!
Nah, I think it’s perfect! The sweetness balances everything out. But you do you! 😂
I thought sangria was supposed to have red wine? 🤔 White wine is just wrong.
