Sangria (1 Drink)

Choose a smaller serving of sangria and sip it slowly rather than drinking it quickly.

Ask for a drier, less-sweet version made with dry red or white wine, soda water, citrus, and no added juice, syrup, or sweet liqueur.

Dilute sangria with plain sparkling water and avoid fruit juice or extra fruit syrup in the glass.

Have it with a protein- and fat-containing snack such as plain Greek yogurt, cheese, or a small handful of nuts instead of drinking on an empty stomach.

Alternate each alcoholic drink with water to slow intake and reduce the likelihood of having multiple servings.

If you monitor glucose, check your response to different recipes and portions, since sweeter sangrias can raise glucose more noticeably.
