Continuing on my quest to find the best sangria of summer, we tested another sangria recipe on the deck last weekend. This one is like a pumped-up mimosa, and packs a pretty good kick so be warned (or be excited, as the case may be!)
Prep the sangria ahead of time with everything but the champagne to let the flavors meld together, then add the champagne to top off each glass.
Sparkling Fruit Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 10 large strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 750ml bottle sweet white wine
- 1 750ml bottle champagne
- ¼ cup brandy
Instructions
- Place all fruit and orange juice in a large pitcher or bowl, add wine and brandy and allow to sit in the refrigerator for 3 – 24 hours. Add champagne when serving to top off each glass.
Notes
You can also add other fruit like orange, lemon or lime slices – that’s the beauty of sangria, you can add whatever you have on hand!
Freeze blueberries and raspberries ahead of time to add to the sangria in addition to ice to keep it nice and cool on the deck this summer.
Mmmm, sounds delicious! Perfect summer drink 🙂
Looks wonderful! 🙂
This looks amazing! Summer is coming to an end but that won’t stop me from trying this recipe.
Pity I can’t drink champagne or brandy, would have to make it all with just white wine
oooo this would go great with our big BBQ get together this weekend
Yum, I love sangria
Fantastic for the summer patio
My wife would love this drink!!

MMmmmm what a keeper!! This looks so refreshing and I’m a huge lover of fruity drinks! Thank you!!
