A light, fruity, and easy-to-make summer sangria featuring fresh mixed berries, crisp white wine, and a splash of soda water for a refreshing fizz.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio recommended)
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 2 ounces (60 ml) orange liqueur (optional, Triple sec or Cointreau)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 12 tablespoons sugar or honey
  • 1 cup (240 ml) soda water or sparkling water
  • A handful of fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the berries gently under cold water. Slice the strawberries, lemon, and orange thinly. Set aside.
  2. In a large pitcher, add raspberries, blueberries, and sliced strawberries. Gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon to release juices without pureeing.
  3. Add lemon and orange slices to the pitcher. Sprinkle in sugar or honey and stir until slightly dissolved and juices mingle.
  4. Slowly pour the chilled white wine into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine. Add orange liqueur if using.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 to 6 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Just before serving, add soda water for fizz. Stir gently, add ice cubes if desired, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use fresh, ripe but firm berries to avoid mushiness. Frozen berries can be used if thawed and drained well. Do not over-muddle berries to keep texture. Chill sangria for several hours for best flavor. Add soda water just before serving to maintain fizz. Adjust sweetness after chilling if needed. Use dry white wine for best balance. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white grape juice or sparkling apple cider and omit orange liqueur.
