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.

🔪 Instructions
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.
Step 2: Add coconut sugar to the jar.
Step 3: Top with ½ the bottle of wine. Let sit for several hours for the flavors to marry.
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.

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.

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