Red, White and Blue Sangria
Here’s a patriotic cocktail that’s good lookin’ and good sippin’.
Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced into bite-sized pieces (about 2 to 3 cups)
- 1 cup berry-flavored vodka
- ¼ cup Elderflower Liqueur
- 1 750 mL bottle of white wine (I like to use Sauvignon Blanc)
- ½ to 1 cup white grape juice or 3 tablespoons honey/agave, optional
- 1 can (12 ounces) berry-flavored sparkling water
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the berries and mix to combine. Reserve 1 cup for garnish before serving.
- In a very large pitcher, add the mixed berries, vodka, liqueur, wine, and optional grape juice (or honey), if using. Stir gently to mix and allow to sit in the fridge for 1 hour or up to 8 hours. As this sits, the color will change to a slight pink or purplish hue depending on the berries used.
- Right before serving, add the sparkling water into the pitcher and pour into glasses over ice. Garnish each glass with reserved fresh berries. Cheers!
