    Camping Sangria

    Jump to Recipe Pin

    Camping Sangria is an easy cocktail to make while camping. It is sweet and refreshing with club soda, orange juice, and red wine.

    When it comes to camping, I like to make things as easy as possible. Many times I will bring a bottle of wine along with my vegan travel food, but there are times when I want something special.

    This Camping Sangria is just that. It takes wine to a whole new level.

    I added orange slices and orange juice for a fruity flavor, a bit of coconut palm sugar for some sweetness, and some club soda for a bit of bubbly. Not only does it make your wine more fun, it extends your drink as well.

    When you are out in the sun, wind, or high altitudes, it is good to have that extra water and orange juice to keep you from getting dehydrated, along with the electrolytes.

    Since a 32 oz. mason jar only holds half the bottle of wine and half the other ingredients, this can be made twice in one day, or in two large mason jars. You could also cork the bottle of wine or use a vacuum wine stopper and make the rest of the Camping Sangria the next day.

    My intention was to have some frozen grapes to keep the sangria cold, but I didn't get around to buying grapes. (Getting ready for camping is a lot of work!)

    Speaking of treats while camping, some Campfire Stuffed Bananas are another great way to end the day.

    ❤️ Why You'll Love It

    • It is fizzy and refreshing.
    • It is sweet and fruity.
    • It is simple and easy to make.

    🧾 Ingredients

    Sangria ingredients on a cutting board with labels.
    • Red wine: I used Merlot, but you could use another red wine or a white wine.
    • Oranges: I used orange slices, but you could also use strawberries, apples, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, or your favorites.
    • Club soda: Adds carbonation. You could use any sparkling water you like.
    • Coconut palm sugar: Adds sweetness. I used coconut sugar, but you could also use raw sugar, white sugar, maple syrup, agave syrup, or your favorite sweetener.

    To see the full list of ingredients with measurements and instructions, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    🔪 Instructions

    Orange slices and orange juice in a mason jar.

    Step 1: Slice ½ an orange and place them into a mason jar.

    Juice the other ½ of the orange juice and add to the jar.

    Coconut sugar added to the jar with orange slices.

    Step 2: Add coconut sugar to the jar.

    Red wine added to the jar.

    Step 3: Top with ½ the bottle of wine. Let sit for several hours for the flavors to marry.

    Club soda being poured into the mason jar.

    Step 4: Pour ½ the club soda into the mason jar.

    If you have 2 mason jars, or a larger container, you can double these instructions. I like to travel as light as possible when I go camping, so I like to bring a 32 ounce mason jar.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Recipe FAQs

    Can you chill sangria overnight?

    Yes, sangria can sit overnight. The longer it sits, the more the flavors infuse.

    What fruit to put in sangria?

    Oranges, apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and cherries all go well in sangria.

      I always think of sangria as a summer or pool side drink. But I could totally enjoy it camping. Thanks!

        Thanks for stopping by! I like it for camping because you are hydrating with the club soda and orange juice. I live in a hot climate so hydrating is very important, especially while drinking alcohol.

      I love the idea of doing small servings of Sangira! I usually make a big batch for us all to share, but I love the idea of individual servings to share. Thanks for your recipe too, it's certianly fun to play around with new mixes.

      xoxo

        Thanks! Usually I am the only one drinking wine when camping, so small portions are necessary.
