Punch Bowl Sangria With Fruit Juice Cubes

Submitted by Kathy228

"Very flavorful and refreshing. Making cubes out of fruit juice keeps the Sangria chilled and won't water it down as the cubes melt."

Thanks Kathy for a very nice Sangria recipe. Made this for a bar b q we gave for family and friends on a very hot August day. It was so refreshing and light it was enjoyed by all. Easy to make and loved the idea of the juice ice cubes which were cute, added to the fruit taste and prevented diluting the drink. Only change I made was only put in half the sugar as I felt it was sweet enough with all the fruit. Thanks again for posting.
