A vibrant and refreshing sangria featuring red and white wines, fresh berries, and star fruit, perfect for summer gatherings and patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry red wine (e.g., Spanish Tempranillo or Pinot Noir)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) crisp white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (frozen works too)
  • 1 large star fruit, sliced thinly
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • ½ cup fresh raspberries (optional)
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 1 cup club soda or sparkling water
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (or agave syrup or honey, adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Rinse all fresh fruit thoroughly. Slice the star fruit thinly into star-shaped rounds, then slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Hull and slice the strawberries. Set aside the blueberries and raspberries whole.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour in the bottle of red wine and the bottle of white wine. Add the ¼ cup of triple sec or orange liqueur and the simple syrup. Stir gently to combine all liquids without crushing the fruit.
  3. Add the sliced star fruit, orange, lemon, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries to the pitcher. Gently stir again to start infusing the wine mixture.
  4. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and place in the refrigerator to chill for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight, to let flavors mingle and fruit soften.
  5. Just before serving, add 1 cup of club soda or sparkling water for fizz. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit slices.

Notes

Chill the sangria for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Avoid stirring aggressively after adding fruit to prevent berries from breaking down and clouding the drink. Frozen berries can be used as ice cubes to keep drinks cold without dilution. For a non-alcoholic version, replace wines and triple sec with sparkling white grape juice and orange extract diluted with water.
