But first a few sangria serving tips:
- Color is a huge part of the appeal of this drink. So show it off with large serving containers of clear glass: pitchers, punch bowls, decanters, and the like.
- Fresh fruit in sections, chunks, slices, and even whole (as in berries) make sangria such a fun party drink. Provide appetizer forks, skewers, even toothpicks to allow guests to take fruity bites between sips!
- Glasses for sangria can also come in many forms. Choose a style that suits your party theme—wine glasses, champagne flutes, ‘highball’ or martini glasses, juice tumblers, even cups, mugs, or mason jars.
- Decorative trays and accessories, like colorful coasters, patterned napkins, fun stirrers, and striped straws complete the party look.
- A sangria station! This would be a huge hit with guests, especially if you lay out special add-ons like sparkling wine, more fruit bits, and garnishes for them to ‘customize’ their own drinks.
