Print Recipe

A vibrant and festive sangria blending dry red and white wines with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, citrus slices, and a splash of soda water. Perfect for summer parties, this refreshing drink balances sweetness and tartness with a colorful presentation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (Tempranillo or Merlot preferred)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio preferred)
  • 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec, optional but recommended)
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen; fresh preferred)
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup soda water or lemon-lime sparkling water
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries gently under cold water and pat dry. Hull and slice the strawberries. Thinly slice the orange and lemon into rounds.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour in the red wine and white wine. Add the brandy and orange liqueur. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the orange and lemon slices to the pitcher. Drizzle in the honey or agave syrup and stir slowly until dissolved.
  4. Add the prepared berries to the pitcher and stir gently to avoid mushing the raspberries.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to infuse.
  6. Just before serving, add the soda water to the pitcher and stir gently.
  7. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over, ensuring each glass gets some berries and citrus slices.

Notes

Use dry wines for best balance. Handle raspberries gently to avoid mushiness. Chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep bubbles fresh. Can be made non-alcoholic by substituting wines and brandy with grape juice and orange juice.
