A sweet tea sangria combines two of the Palm Beach County favorite things, sweet tea, and wine. A traditional Spanish libation, sangria is a wine-based “punch.”  It includes seasonal fruit, a sweetener, brandy, and sometimes a splash of soda water, Sprite, juice, or tea.

Wine takes the center stage in this pitcher cocktail, so choose a wine that is fruity but dry, has good acidity, and is lower in tannins, then just add some sweet tea in place of soda water and pour over ice.

All you will need to make it is sweet tea, white wine, raspberries, peaches, and mint for a garnish. This sweet tea sangria recipe will quickly become of your favorites. Whenever you have fresh summer fruit lying around, whip up a quick batch of sweet tea and mix it with a bottle of white wine. Toss in your fruit then let it sit a few hours before enjoying. It is super easy.

The drink gives you all the sweetness of those two southern favorites, plus an added fruitiness that is hard not to enjoy on a warm afternoon in Southeast Florida.
