Print Recipe

A quick and easy sangria recipe combining red and white wine with fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and citrus for a festive, refreshing drink perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) red wine (fruity, medium-bodied like Merlot or Zinfandel)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) white wine (crisp, dry like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda
  • 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash all the berries thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries, and thinly slice the orange. Set aside.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of red wine and 1 cup (240 ml) of white wine into a large pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (if using), and orange slices to the pitcher. Squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the mix, avoiding seeds. Stir lightly to distribute the juice.
  4. Add 1-2 tablespoons of simple syrup or honey depending on your preferred sweetness level. Stir until dissolved. Taste and adjust if needed.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, ideally 2-4 hours, to allow flavors to meld and berries to infuse their juice into the wine.
  6. Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) of sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher for a refreshing fizz. Add plenty of ice cubes to keep everything cool. Stir gently to combine.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe berries for best flavor; frozen berries may make the sangria cloudy. Add sparkling water just before serving to preserve fizz. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup or honey to taste. For a boozier version, add a splash of brandy or triple sec. Can substitute sparkling grape juice for a non-alcoholic version.
