Print Recipe

A simple, festive, and refreshing sangria combining red and white wines with fresh berries and citrus, perfect for summer parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml Red Wine (Merlot or Zinfandel)
  • 750 ml White Wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • ½ cup Fresh Raspberries (optional)
  • 1 cup Seedless Red Grapes, halved
  • 1 medium Orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium Lemon, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Simple Syrup
  • ¼ cup Orange Liqueur (Triple Sec or Cointreau, optional)
  • 1 cup Sparkling Water or Club Soda
  • Ice Cubes

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries, grapes, and citrus thoroughly under cold water. Slice strawberries, halve grapes, and thinly slice the orange and lemon.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour in the red wine and white wine. Add the orange liqueur if using.
  3. Gently add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (if using), halved grapes, and citrus slices. Stir gently to distribute fruit evenly without bruising.
  4. Pour in the simple syrup. Adjust sweetness by starting with half and adding more after tasting. Stir lightly.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Just before serving, add ice cubes and pour in sparkling water or club soda. Stir gently and serve with plenty of fruit in each glass.

Notes

Avoid stirring vigorously after adding fruit to keep berries intact. Chill at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Freeze some grapes or berries to use as ice cubes to keep sangria cold without dilution. Add sparkling water and ice just before serving to maintain fizz. For non-alcoholic version, replace wines and liqueur with sparkling grape juice or berry soda and add fresh lemon juice.
