View Full Size If you want a guaranteed crowd-pleasing beverage, you need look no further than sangria. It's just one of those drinks you know you'll need to make several batches of throughout the course of a party. Throw together some wine, a handful of juicy fresh summer fruits and a bit of liquor to make for a deliciously refreshing, quaffable summer drink (maybe a little too easy to drink!).

Perhaps the only thing worth hesitating about is the decision of which type of wine to use. Red, white or rosé, you're guaranteed to have a beautiful drink, whatever the base. Here are our some of our favorite recipes for summer sangria. We even thew in both beer-based and non-alcoholic versions for those looking to give their sangria routine a remix.
