A light, festive sangria featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, dry white wine, and a splash of sparkling water, perfect for summer parties and backyard gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 bottle (750 ml / 25 oz) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda
  • 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
  • Ice cubes or crushed ice for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse the strawberries and blueberries under cold water. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Thinly slice half a lemon, removing seeds if possible.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, fresh orange juice, honey or agave syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Stir gently to dissolve the honey.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and lemon slices to the pitcher. Stir gently to mix without crushing the berries.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the fruit infuse the wine.
  5. Just before serving, pour in the sparkling water or club soda and stir gently to combine.
  6. Serve over ice cubes or crushed ice, garnished with extra fresh berries or a sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Use a dry, crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best results. Chill the sangria for at least 1 hour to meld flavors. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep bubbles lively. For a non-alcoholic version, replace white wine with white grape or apple juice. Avoid stirring vigorously after adding soda to preserve fizz. Overripe fruit can make the sangria cloudy and overly sweet.
