Fireball Sangria | Go Go Go Gourmet @gogogogourmet

It is hot, hot, hot here right now! We are already well into the 90s every single day, so I guess that means summer has arrived in Florida. I can’t really remember what last summer felt like anymore, but I’m hoping I’m so used to the heat and the humidity at this point that it won’t feel quite so hellish this year.

With the arrival of warm weather comes a reemergence of sangria around here. Sangria is on my short list of favorite warm weather cocktails (along with mojitos obviously… and limoncello…and pinot grigio…) – it’s easy enough to mix up just a glass of it, but is the simplest pitcher drink that I could possibly come up with. Perfect for the beach, picnics, or hosting a bbq for friends.

I decided to kick this one up an extra notch. My general non-preference for whiskey is well documented on the site, save for a few specific cocktails., But I’ve heard so much about fireball lately, I decided to try mixing it into sangria for an extra dimension of flavor (not to mention an extra kick, if you know what I mean). I took one sip, and I knew I had hit jackpot. The sangria is so good, that I’ve made it for different times in the last week for varying  groups of people and everyone has loved it.
 
I love using frozen fruit in my sangria in lieu of ice- it doesn’t get watered down, and as it melts, the additional fruit juices meld perfectly into the drink. If you really want to use ice, I heartily recommend using a large cube so it takes longer to melt.

    So spicy and delicious. A couple of glasses in I added a little peach schnapps for a little sweet to add to the spice. A tasty interlude.

    The recipe looks amazing but the narrative is such an unedited mess! Picture perfect pitcher drink, penchant for whiskey (I read the “nonprofit” sentence 4 times before I deciphered it.) Please double check your talk-to-text blog posts (and ask someone to read through them for basic editing) so that your delicious recipes aren’t lost in translation!

      Thank you for letting me know.

      I fixed the two errors, one a homonym and the other a blatant autocorrect from my typed word ( I definitely do NOT have a penchant for whiskey! 🙂 ), so I’ll blame my computer and the distraction of keeping a rowdy 2-year-old from maiming himself while trying to proofread. So funny that no matter how many times I can read something over, I can still very occasionally manage to glaze right over these kinds of typos. They do happen!

      I definitely dont want anyone else thinking that this is an unedited mess, but I’ll stick to trying to write and proofread in the rare moments I don’t have a toddler asking for a snack and whining for Jake and the Neverland Pirates- but thank you for the suggestion of finding an editor.

      I hope you try the sangria and like it, because it IS amazing. It went viral over the summer for good reason!

    I’m throwing a pregame before partying all weekend at my university and I was wondering what I could serve to my squad to really knock their socks off and this is perfect! Great mix of contemporary and classy

    I made this for 2 separate events. The first group didn’t care for it (snooty wine drinkers). The second group inhaled the sangria. They didn’t even leave any fruit in the pitcher. I personally loved the combination of Fireball and sangria wine. I added the frozen fruit to chill. It was perfect. Will definitely make again.

    I started making cinnamon sangria awhile back. I chop apples fairly small, then soak the apples in the cinnamon whiskey, then add some juice and some cheap hearty red wine. I prefer 2 buck Chuck. You should try it because the apples stay crisp and they are seriously yummy to munch on.
