Print Recipe

A light, fruity, and festive sangria combining red, white, and rosé wines with fresh summer berries and citrus, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fruity, medium-bodied red wine (e.g., Merlot or Pinot Noir)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) crisp white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dry rosé wine
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries, washed and drained
  • ½ cup (75 g) raspberries, gently rinsed
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water (optional, added before serving)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) brandy or Triple Sec (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries gently and pat dry. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Thinly slice the orange and lemon, removing any seeds.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour 1 cup red wine, 1 cup white wine, and 1 cup rosé. Add 2 tablespoons brandy or Triple Sec if using. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and citrus slices to the wine mixture. Pour in ¼ cup simple syrup. Stir carefully to distribute fruit evenly without crushing.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 to 6 hours, to allow flavors to meld and fruit to infuse the sangria.
  5. Just before serving, add 1 cup chilled club soda or sparkling water for fizz. Stir gently. Taste and adjust sweetness with more simple syrup if needed. Serve over ice with fruit pieces in each glass.

Notes

Chill the berries separately and add fresh citrus slices to avoid mushy fruit. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Use wines you enjoy drinking for best flavor. Adjust simple syrup sweetness after chilling. Store leftovers in fridge up to 2 days; add sparkling water fresh with each serving.
