A vibrant and refreshing sangria featuring a mix of red and white wines, fresh red, white, and blue berries, and sparkling water for a bubbly finish. Perfect for summer parties and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (Merlot or Pinot Noir)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries, gently rinsed
  • 1 large orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sparkling water, chilled
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes as needed for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash all fresh berries gently and drain well. Hull and slice the strawberries, slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Reserve a few whole berries and citrus slices for garnish.
  2. Mix the Wines (2 minutes): Pour the entire bottle of red wine and white wine into a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the Fruit (3 minutes): Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange, and lemon to the wine mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Sweeten the Sangria (Optional, 1 minute): Add simple syrup to taste if desired. Start with less and add more after tasting.
  5. Chill (At least 2 hours, ideally 4–6 hours or overnight): Refrigerate the pitcher to allow flavors to meld and deepen.
  6. Before Serving (5 minutes): Add chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently to maintain fizz.
  7. Serve (Immediate): Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour sangria over ice, and garnish with reserved berries and citrus slices.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe berries and wash them just before mixing to avoid spoilage. Pour red wine first, then white wine to layer flavors. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Frozen berries can be used if thawed first. For a lower-alcohol version, reduce wine by half and increase sparkling water. Leftover sangria keeps up to 2 days refrigerated; add fresh sparkling water before serving again.
