A festive and refreshing sangria featuring fresh berries, crisp white wine, citrus, and a splash of sparkling water, perfect for summer gatherings and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio preferred)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda (added just before serving)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey (adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1 cup (150 g) strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen, fresh preferred)
  • 1 cup (150 g) raspberries
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint leaves (about 10–12 leaves, torn)
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Ice cubes (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all the berries thoroughly under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin slices about 1/4-inch thick. Thinly slice the orange (if using) into rounds, removing any seeds. Tear the mint leaves gently to release their aroma.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the dry white wine, fresh lemon juice, lime juice, and granulated sugar or honey. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, orange slices, and torn mint leaves into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine, avoiding bruising the berries.
  4. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4–6 hours, to allow flavors to infuse.
  5. Just before serving, add the sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher and stir gently to combine.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over, ensuring each glass gets some berries and mint leaves. Garnish with a sprig of mint or extra berry if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe berries for best flavor and appearance. Do not add sparkling water until just before serving to keep fizz. Stir gently to avoid bruising berries. Adjust sweetness with sugar or honey as needed. Serve within 24 hours for best taste and texture. Non-alcoholic version can be made by substituting white wine with sparkling white grape juice.
