In the warm glow of the Ibizan sun, nothing beats the Spanish classic Sangria! Besides being a refreshing thirst-quencher, it is also a celebration of flavors and an art form in itself. We at OneVillasIbiza, the expert on luxury villas, love to share our passion and knowledge about the island’s local delicacies. Therefore, in this article we will teach you how to make the perfect Sangria.
The Origins of a Summer Sensation
Sangria is a red wine-based drink that dates back to Roman times. But on the sunny shores of Ibiza, this classic gets a unique twist. Here, where the air is filled with the scent of sea and citrus, we find the inspiration for a sangria recipe that offers a true explosion of flavor.
The Classic Sangria Recipe: the Basics
Every good sangria starts with a solid base. For the classic red sangria, take a bottle of robust red wine as the perfect backdrop for the fruity notes that follow. To this, add 100 grams of sugar for a slightly sweet taste and 500 ml of sparkling water for a delicious effervescence.
Ingredients: The Heart of Sangria
For the ingredients of your sangria, you can give free rein to your creativity and personal preferences. For the authentic Ibizan touch, use ripe, seedless grapes and cubes of sliced fruit, such as strawberry and raspberry. Add an extra spoonful of sugar or honey for extra sweetness or a splash of brandy for an extra “kick.”
The Role of Fruit: More Than Taste Alone
In Ibiza, the fruit almost seems to fall into your glass from the trees and bushes, so using fresh fruit is essential. The combination of strawberry, grapes and other local fruits not only enhances the taste but also makes the sangria beautiful to look at.

The Art of Mixing: Tips for the Perfect Sangria
Making the perfect sangria is an art in itself. The secret is in balancing flavors and texture. A good sangria combines sweet, sour, bitter and possibly effervescent. Remember to make sangria a few hours before serving so the flavors can mix well.
New Products, New Flavors
We at OneVillasIbiza encourage you to enjoy experimenting with new ingredients. For example, add a splash of cava for a lighter, fizzy version. Or make a sangria without alcohol with non-alcoholic wine and sparkling water for a refreshing drink everyone can enjoy.

Variations on a Theme: White Sangria and More
While red sangria is deeply rooted in Spanish culture, white sangria offers a refreshing alternative. Use a bottle of white wine as a base and add white sugar and light fruit, such as peach or nectarine. White sangria provides a lighter, fresher taste experience.
The Role of Wine in Sangria: Quality or Quantity?
A common question is whether the quality of the wine affects the sangria. Some swear by cheap wine, but we at OneVillasIbiza believe that a good sangria also deserves a good base. Therefore, choose your wine carefully, such as a local island wine, to take your sangria to the next level.
The Magic of Mixing: Secret Ingredients
Each sangria offers room for a personal touch. For example, add extra frozen strawberries for a deep red color or extra alcohol for a more powerful flavor. Experiment with different combinations and give this classic drink a personal touch.
Sangria Fits Every Occasion
Whether you’re lounging by the pool of your luxury villa or having a social evening with friends, sangria suits every occasion. Aside from drinks, it is also an invitation to enjoy life, laugh and make great memories together.
