Before I studied abroad in Italy in college, I did not like red wine. I had?barely come to terms with liking white wine a little bit. However, when you’re in Italy, people buy bottles of wine at dinner because it’s much cheaper than buy the glass. And when I say bottles, I do mean plural.

I learned that red wine is truly an acquired taste. I’ve tried to explain this to my husband, Steven, and after five years of marriage he’s finally starting to enjoy?some wines – though he still prefers beer 100%.

Of course, I quickly learned to love sangria, red wine’s sweet cousin. Whether it’s a white sangria or red, I’m in. Sangria can be dangerous though, because it’s so sweet. If you’re not careful, you’ll have drank an entire pitcher of it by yourself (not speaking from experience,?of course…). So when my blog pals and I were discussing our monthly cocktail post, my mind immediately went to a sangria popsicle. Ps, you can see our past collaborations here: Pitcher Drinks, Patriotic Cocktails, Margaritas, and New Year’s Cocktails.

This recipe starts as all of my recent favorite cocktails do, with a quick simple syrup. This particular one combines slices of lemon, orange and lime with a bit of water and sugar. Your house will smell heavenly afterwards, too! I ended up adding more citrus peels and slices to the pot after I took the syrup out, added water and simmered it for the rest of the evening!

The rest of the recipe couldn’t be simpler. Mix together red wine (any blend), orange juice, lime juice, simple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon. Freeze in your favorite popsicle mold for at least four hours. And enjoy these light, sweet boozy sangria popsicles!
