Sanguine Sangria: Spooky El Guapo Hurricane Mixer
Aug 31, 2025
Meet your new Halloween party centerpiece. Sanguine Sangria is bold, dramatic, and just the right amount of spooky. This festive sangria leans on our El Guapo Hurricane Mixer for a tropical twist that plays beautifully with red wine, vodka, and fresh blood orange. It pours deep crimson and tastes even better than it looks.
Serve it by the glass or turn it into a full punch bowl moment. Either way, this is the Halloween sangria recipe your guests will remember.
Why Use El Guapo™ Hurricane Mixer in Your Halloween Sangria?

That bright tropical lift cuts through rich red wine and makes the entire drink feel layered, balanced, and wonderfully unexpected.
