The combination possibilities with those ingredients are endless! Some of the Sangria with rum recipes on the internet are sheer genius, and you’ll feel like you’ve created a culinary masterpiece after you’ve crafted them yourself. It’s also pretty likely that if you serve these recipes at your next party, they’ll be talked about more than anything else you serve, even the food! Here are the best Sangria with rum recipes:
Classic Spanish Sangria
This is a good example of what a traditional Sangria recipe looks like. It calls for red wine, and it doesn’t specify which type of rum to use, but white or spiced rum work well in it. And, you can use whatever type of fruits you like, but apples and pears do a good job of soaking up the rum, and they taste great after you’ve already drank all the Sangria.
Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 1 lime
- 1 orange
- 1 1/2 c. rum
- 1/2 c. white sugar

White Peach Sangria
This drink is very fruity and it has a light flavor compared to other Sangrias. It doesn’t require overnight chilling, either, so you can make it last-minute before your party. It’s a lot better when you use fresh fruit juice in it, as opposed to store bought. But, either way, this punch is a real crowd-pleaser!

- 1 1/4 c. mango rum
- 1 1/4 c. peach schnapps

Directions
- Add large pieces of ice to a punch bowl until it’s just over half full
