Addictive Red Sangria with Mixed Berries – a light and fruity cocktail drink for the Summer pool parties and cook-outs! Lots of flavors: Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, oranges, and lemon.
A crowd-pleasing cocktail – it’s so easy to make, just through all the ingredients together (except for carbonated liquid which you will add when serving) and refrigerate for 4 or up to 24 hours!
The presentation is super beautiful, and how can it not be with so much colorful fruit and berries together in a bright red cocktail drink!
Enjoy!

Alcohol + Juices

Sweetener (optional)
Carbonated liquid (for serving):
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, including fruit, but excluding carbonated liquid (to be added when serving), in a pitcher and stir to mix. You may leave out some fruit and berries (especially if you have too much of it, and it won't fit with others in the pitcher). Use extra fruit and berries for garnish, or freeze it and use it for ice when serving!
- Refrigerate for 3 or 4 hours (up to 24 hours).
- Right before serving, add your choice of carbonated liquid (sprite, citrus soda pop, club soda, or carbonated water) to sangria. Serve over ice - by adding ice to the glasses (not to the pitcher with sangria). Garnish each glass with extra berries and fruit.
