I am way, way too excited about this foolproof way to make sure everyone gets their fair share of fruit in every single glass of sangria. Bonus: this method is perfect for parties (it doesn’t get much easier for the host or hostess). Double bonus: it’s freakin’ delicious, of course, because it’s sangria. In a jar!

Sangria by the jar served with a yellow straw on a pink background.

Have you ever sat over a pitcher of sangria, stabbing at that perfect piece of potent booze-soaked fruit that keeps bobbing just out of your reach? Nod with me. I’d be willing to bet most sangria lovers can relate.

Well, no more. With mason jar sangria, everyone gets the perfect portion of potent strawberries, blackberries, and apples in every single serving. I can’t believe I didn’t think of this sooner!

The Story Behind the Recipe

The idea came to me as I was pulling out a tiny little test batch of a new flavor of sangria I was trialing. I’d chilled it in a mason jar, and all I had to do was add ice, the carbonated beverage, and a straw right to the jar. Holy epiphany!

The next day, I was making these. It’s a very slight variation of my white strawberry lemon sangria – I added blackberries, and, of course, divided the ingredients among several jars instead of assembling it in one pitcher. The result is light, refreshing, slightly pink-tinged, and perfect for summer. This make-ahead mason jar sangria recipe is very flexible – blueberries would be a nice addition, too. Or, really, anything else you want to add.

Readers say …

I doubled this recipe for a cookout last weekend and it was a hit! I actually used Moscato, as I am not a fan of dry wine and it was really good. I’ve been asked to bring it again this weekend to a family trip to the cabin. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

Ingredients

  • White wine – I like dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, but if you prefer a sweeter wine, go for it!
  • Strawberries & blackberries
  • Apple – Honeycrisp is fab in sangria. Slice it up.
  • Lemons
  • Rum – White (or light) rum
  • Lemon lime soda

How to Make Mason Jar Sangria

Set out 8 (16-ounce) mason jars. Divide the fruit among the mason jars, then pour the wine and rum over the top. Screw on the lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, then remove from the fridge to serve. Just pour on soda and add a straw, and then pass ’em out!
