Summer Berry Sangria
Fresh, ripe berries and tangy citrus give a refreshing twist to sangria, a classic Spanish-style wine punch that always makes a delicious summer beverage.
- Ingredients:
- 1/2 orange, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, quartered
- 1 cup raspberries
- 1 bottle medium-bodied, dry red wine (Pinot Noir, Merlot)
- 1/2 cup triple sec
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- Orange and/or lemon wheels for garnish
Preparation:
Remove any seeds from the orange and lemon slices and place them in the bottom of a large pitcher. Using a muddler or wooden spoon, gently muddle the fruit to release some of the juices. Add the strawberries, raspberries, red wine, triple sec and orange juice. Stir to combine, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours. To serve, pour the sangria over ice, add some of the berries if desired and garnish with a fresh slice of orange or lemon.
