Equipment

  • Large Glass Pitcher

Ingredients
  

Wine Base

  • 1 bottle dry white wine 750ml, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended
  • 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar adjust to taste

Fruits and Garnish

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1 lime thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 2 cups sparkling water or club soda chilled

Instructions
 

  • Wash all berries thoroughly and pat dry. Hull and slice the strawberries, keeping slices approximately 1/4 inch thick. Slice the citrus fruits thinly, removing any seeds. Reserve about 1/4 cup of each berry type for garnishing glasses later.
  • In a large glass pitcher, pour the entire bottle of chilled white wine. Add the honey or agave nectar and stir gently until completely dissolved.
  • Add the prepared berries and citrus slices to the wine mixture. Pour in the triple sec or orange liqueur. Using a wooden spoon, gently press on some of the berries to release their juices without fully crushing them.
  • Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably 4-6 hours. For maximum flavor enhancement, prepare the sangria the night before serving.
  • Just before serving, add the chilled sparkling water or club soda and stir gently to combine. Fill glasses with ice, pour the sangria over, making sure to include plenty of the infused fruit in each glass. Garnish with the reserved fresh berries.

Notes

The cold temperature of the wine makes sweetener harder to dissolve, so consider mixing the sweetener with 2 tablespoons of warm water first for easier integration.
For a lower sugar version, use a dry wine and omit the added sweetener, relying on the natural sweetness of ripe berries.
You can substitute rosé or a light red wine like Pinot Noir if preferred.
