Mango Sangria

One day a couple weeks ago this recipe caught my eye (because of the "mango" in the title), but when I read the ingredients I passed it up because I have never liked the taste of merlot. My family flew in last week for my DD's 3rd birthday but my mom sent a grocery gift card ahead & requested I add a bottle of merlot to the list. At this point I remembered that I had seen a drink I wanted to try but was afraid to buy the merlot. This was a win-win now! Mom was game for trying the drink as well. I had to get creative with the juices, as there were no plain mango or cran-mango available. We ended up with two frozen concentrates: one orange-mango juice & one cranberry-pomegranate juice. We used 3 Tablespoons of concentrate & 1/2 cup water for each called for amount of juice. We really enjoyed it. The color was also really pretty. Served over ice with the citrus garnish made for a nice presentation as well. Thanks for sharing, Jane! You've made me not afraid to buy merlot anymore! :) *Tink

I love sangria and I am always looking for new recipes. This one is definitely a keeper! DH and I loved it and it was perfect in this 100 degree weather. Thanks for posting, JaneRI!

My husband and I love sangria. This recipe gave me an excuse to try Ocean Spray's Cran-Mango juice. I used a cheap Spanish rioja. I served this in over-sized wine glasses over ice with sliced oranges for garnish. Looked nice and tasted great. Thanks for sharing this one.

Mango sangria is my new favorite summer drink! Had this two nights in a row with mango juice, love it with or without ice!!!
