Gluten Free Sangria
What makes this easy holiday sangria even more perfect for holiday parties is that it just so happens to be gluten free! Stoli has recently launched their new Stoli Gluten Free Vodka and it’s just in time for the holidays! So this year, everyone can enjoy your cute and delicious themed co*cktails, even those with gluten allergies. It truly is a holiday miracle. (You can use any vodka you love best in this recipe.)
Stoli Gluten Free Vodka was the perfect mixer for this because it’s such a clean and crisp vodka, and because it’s gluten free! I’m just so excited about that. You better just make a double batch, because this stuff is going to go fast!

Is sangria gluten free?
Generally, yes sangria is gluten free, and this recipe definitely is!
Can I use something besides vodka?
Vodka generally works best, but you could use rum, brandy, or another liquor if you prefer.
What kind of wine is best for sangria?
I recommend using a dry red wine since the other ingredients will really sweeten things up. I used Cabernet for this recipe, but Pinot Noir or Malbec would work too.
Can I make holiday sangria ahead of time?
Yes, you can mix everything together and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve. Just give it a nice stir before serving.
I love sangria, so of course I had to create a version that invokes the spirit of Christmas! Every holiday needs a good co*cktail to serve to guests, and this holiday sangria is that perfect drink.
