Print Recipe

A quick and easy festive sangria blending red and white wines with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and citrus slices, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) fruity red wine (Merlot or Zinfandel)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed
  • ½ cup raspberries (optional)
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
  • 2 ounces orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec, optional)

Instructions

  1. Gently wash all berries and pat dry. Hull and slice strawberries, thinly slice orange and lemon. Set aside.
  2. Pour the red and white wines into a large pitcher. Add orange liqueur if using. Stir lightly to combine.
  3. Add strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange, and lemon slices to the wine mixture. Pour in the simple syrup. Stir gently to distribute.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to let the fruit infuse the wine with flavor and color.
  5. Just before serving, add chilled sparkling water or club soda for a lively fizz. Stir gently to combine without losing bubbles.
  6. Pour sangria into glasses, including some fruit in each serving. Add ice if desired.

Notes

Use frozen berries thawed if fresh are unavailable. For lower alcohol, replace half the wine with sparkling white grape juice. Add sparkling water last to keep fizz lively. Freeze berries to use as ice cubes to avoid dilution. Serve within 24 hours for best flavor and texture.
