Hellooo Friday! It’s the weekend before Halloween, which means major party time for many of you.

You’ll be happy to know that I have the BEST sangria recipe ever for Halloween!

I call it the Black Sangria and the name says it all! A sangria made with blackberries, black plums, black grapes and Apothic Dark wine.

If you let it sit for about an hour the plums turn a mean shade of black and everything is black! It’s pretty incredible and super easy to make.

You know me, it’s got to be easy or it ain’t happening! Entertaining is fun people! Happy weekend before Halloween, Charmers!

How to make Black Sangria

There is nothing complicated about this libation!  Simply add everything into a pitcher and mix with a large spoon.

Let the sangria sit in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. The longer it sits the darker the plums becomes. It’s best to keep the sangria in the fridge so it stays cold.

What is Sangria Made of?

Sangria is a Spanish drink, traditionally, it consists of red wine mixed with fruits (such as peaches, melon and berries), sugar and orange juice.

Although red wine is traditionally used in sangria recipes, you can also get white and rose pitchers. You can use whatever fruits are in season.

What’s the best wine for Sangrias?

Traditionally sangrias are made with rioja, but I say tradition is meant to be broken!

I love Apothic Dark which is a blended wine and it has a little spice to it, it’s also great for this Halloween Sangria because of it’s dark color! Make your sangria your own by using your favorite red wine.

Halloween Sangria

I just love the deep color of this black sangria, and it’s a great drink to serve at your Halloween party as you can make it ahead of time.

It’s a grown up drink with an injection of spooky Halloween fun!

Top tips for making black sangria

  • Be sure to let the sangria sit for a couple of hours before serving, longer if possible so that the flavors develop
  • Keep the sangria in the fridge so it remains cold
  • Don’t add ice as this will dilute the taste.

      It was a limited release and is no longer available. I never had a chance to try it. I wonder if someone who did can suggest an alternate wine. Carnivore, maybe?

      Hi Adriana! I bought it at World Market but a few years ago! I just tried to search to see if it was there and I don’t see it anymore ;( I bet you could find one on Amazon. It’s a cast iron one!

      It really depends, but we say about 6-8… one serving each.

    Not quite flavorful enough. This sangria was more like wine with fruit in it than a fruit infused wine with fruit pieces. A few people suggested that next time I should cut the blackberries and grapes in half to release more flavor (which was my plan to begin with but I handed the recipe to a friend to make). Another person thought that I should freeze some of the fruit beforehand so that those fruit pieces can act as ice to keep the sangria cool.
