What you need To Make Skinny Sangria
- Wine: Red Wine is what makes this sangria so tasty. (You can also use canned wine ~ See our list for the best canned wine.)

- Soda: To give your sangria some fizz, try using Sprite Zero. It has no calories and tastes great.
- Spirits: Using a spirit such as Pomegranate Vodka gives your cocktail an added kick. This optional and regular vodka will work just as well.
