Print Recipe

A cool, berry-bright sangria featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, citrus, and a hint of mint, perfect for summer parties with a lively fizz and balanced flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dry red wine (Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dry rosé or Sauvignon Blanc
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (about 140 g) fresh blueberries, washed
  • ½ cup (about 60 g) fresh raspberries, gently rinsed
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • A small handful (about 10 leaves) mint leaves, torn (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) soda water or sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries gently under cold water and pat dry. Hull and slice the strawberries into halves or quarters depending on size. Slice the orange and lemon thinly, removing seeds if any.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine 1 cup (240 ml) dry red wine and 1 cup (240 ml) dry rosé. Stir gently to blend the two wines.
  3. Add the prepared strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange slices, lemon slices, and torn mint leaves to the wine mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
  4. Taste the mixture. If berries aren’t very sweet, stir in 2 tablespoons of simple syrup or honey until dissolved.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld (3-4 hours ideal).
  6. Just before serving, top off the sangria with 1 cup (240 ml) cold soda water or sparkling water and stir gently.
  7. Fill glasses with a few pieces of fruit and ice cubes, then pour the sangria over. Garnish with extra mint if desired.

Notes

Use ripe, fresh berries for best flavor and appearance. Chill sangria for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Add soda water last and stir gently to preserve fizz. Mint is optional but recommended for freshness; basil or rosemary can be used as alternatives. For a non-alcoholic version, replace wines with white grape or cranberry juice and add sparkling water.
