Mix up grapefruit vodka, ginger ale, grapefruit juice, a little wine and simple syrup and what do you get? A perfectly refreshing and beautiful sipper fit for any holiday or special gathering. —Becky Hardin, St. Peters, Missouri


Test Kitchen tips
  • This sangria isn't too sweet. If it's not sweet enough, you can mix in additional simple syrup.
  • Try to find salt that is as coarse as possible. Regular table salt can be very salty and overpower the flavor of the sangria.
