A festive and refreshing sangria perfect for summer parties, combining red and white wines with fresh berries and citrus for a vibrant patriotic drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup raspberries (optional)
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water dissolved)
  • 1 cup club soda or sparkling water
  • Ice cubes as needed
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries under cold water. Hull and slice strawberries into halves or quarters depending on size. Thinly slice the orange and lemon, removing seeds.
  2. Pour the bottle of red wine and the bottle of white wine into a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the prepared strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange, and lemon slices to the wine mixture. Pour in the simple syrup. Stir gently but thoroughly.
  4. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours (overnight preferred).
  5. Just before serving, add ice cubes and pour in the club soda or sparkling water. Stir lightly to combine without losing bubbles.
  6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired and serve immediately in clear glasses.

Notes

Add sparkling water last minute to preserve fizz. Use frozen berries as ice cubes to avoid dilution. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste. Chilling overnight enhances flavor infusion.
