Homemade Raspberry Sangria Popsicles (for Grown-Ups!)
I love sangria, and I love popsicles. So, why not combine the two? I mean, popsicles aren’t just for kids, right? These Raspberry Sangria Popsicles are fruity, refreshing, and extremely easy to make! But be careful, these popsicles are not kid-friendly because they contain wine! You can use any of your favorite fruit juices. I always prefer pomegranate juice in my Red Wine Sangria because it always seems to complement the red wine and adds a touch of sweetness. So, that is what I used in this popsicle recipe as well. But orange juice, pineapple juice, or cherry juice would work well, too. One of the best things about these adult-friendly popsicles is that they only require 4 ingredients! That makes these a total breeze to whip up. Need to make it kid-friendly? Just swap the red wine for a fruit juice! Serve these at your next warm weather gathering or outdoor barbecue. They’ll be a hit!
ingredients needed
Sangria popsicles require just four ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need:
Red Wine: You can use your favorite red table wine that is not too sweet and not too dry. Something like a Pinot Noir or a red blend would be great. You can always taste the sangria prior to putting it into the molds to adjust sweetness or bitterness to taste. Sugar: You need some added sugar to sweeten the popsicles. I like to simmer the juice and sugar together until the sugar has dissolved to make an easy simple syrup. Just let it cool before building your treats. Pomegranate Juice: The color and flavor compliments the red wine and raspberries, but you can use whichever fruit juice you prefer. Fresh Raspberries: This helps makes these popsicles more like sangria. If you don’t like raspberries, swap for whatever fruit you prefer. Pineapples, strawberries, or blueberries would also work!

Tips for Success
To release the popsicles from the mold, you can run it under warm water and they will release nicely! Swap the pomegranate juice for your preferred type, like pineapple, orange, or cherry, or a combination of fruit juices! Orange juice is common in sangria and a dash of it would be super delicious. Add more fruit like blueberries, strawberries, or pineapple. You can toss it in fresh or frozen! Turn this into a white wine sangria popsicle by swapping the red wine for your favorite table white like riesling, pinot grigio, or even Prosecco. Avoid moscato, as it may be too sweet when combined with the sugar. I would recommend throwing some peaches in the popsicle too! Or, turn these into rosé sangria popsicles by using your favorite rosé wine instead! I would mix it with some watermelon juice. Yum! Not a fan of whole fruit in your popsicles? Blend it up before pouring into the popsicle molds to make it smooth and aerate the wine!
