Print Recipe

A festive and easy-to-make sangria combining crisp white wine, fruity red sangria, and fresh berries for a perfect summer gathering drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) store-bought red sangria or fruity red wine (Tempranillo or Grenache)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • ½ cup raspberries (optional)
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lime, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (adjust to taste; can substitute honey or agave)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water, added before serving
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries gently. Hull and slice strawberries into thin pieces, slice lemon and lime into thin rounds. If using frozen berries, let them thaw slightly.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of white wine and 1 cup of red sangria or fruity red wine. Add the simple syrup and stir lightly to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  3. Gently add all the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries (if using), lemon, and lime slices to the pitcher. Stir carefully to coat the fruit without mashing.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld. For best results, chill 3-4 hours or overnight.
  5. Just before serving, add 1 cup of club soda or sparkling water for fizz. Fill glasses with ice and ladle sangria over. Garnish with extra berries or a citrus slice.

Notes

Do not over-stir after adding fruit to avoid bruising berries and cloudiness. Adjust sweetness by reducing or omitting simple syrup. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Chill glasses beforehand to keep sangria cool longer without dilution. For non-alcoholic version, substitute wines with sparkling white grape juice and non-alcoholic red wine alternatives.
