Blackberry Sweet Tea Sangria Wine Cocktail: A Southern Sip of Summer

When the Southern heat turns all the way up, there’s nothing quite like an ice-cold glass of sweet tea—or maybe something a little more spirited. Enter our Blackberry Sweet Tea Sangria Wine Cocktail: a fruity, refreshing twist on two Southern staples that were practically made for front porch sipping.

This vibrant sangria starts with our fan-favorite Blackberry Express wine, known for its bold berry flavor and just the right touch of sweetness. It’s then blended with classic iced tea (sweet or unsweet—your call!), a splash of orange juice for a citrusy kick, and a hint of simple syrup to round everything out. The result? A smooth, juicy sangria that’s equal parts easy-drinking and downright delightful.

Not in the mood for blackberry? You can easily swap in our Cou Rouge strawberry wine for a fresh, sun-kissed strawberry version that’s just as perfect for poolside lounging or backyard get-togethers.

Whether you’re hosting friends or just looking to beat the heat with something a little more exciting than your usual glass of tea, this sangria is your new go-to. It’s quick to mix up, easy to enjoy, and tastes like summer in a glass.

Scroll down for the full recipe and get ready to fall in love with your new favorite Southern sip!
