Sangria is totally the drink of summer. There is nothing quite like a cool glass of wine, fruit and spirits at the end of a long, summer day. In winter, I usually make a red wine sangria but, for summer, I use this mixed berry summer sangria recipe to make a pitcher of deliciousness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sangria?

Sangria is an alcoholic punch that is usually made with red wine, fruit, and brandy.  Although not traditional, white wine, rose wine and even sparkling wine sangria have become popular in recent years. 

What is the Best Sangria Wine?

The best red wine for sangria is usually a medium-bodied wine that is rich in red fruit flavor, low in tannins, and some acidity. I love Rioja and Garnacha for red wine sangira.

The white wine for sangria is something with high acid and is a dry wine. I usually turn to Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Albarino for white wine sangria.

The best sparking wine for sangria is usually a prosecco or something with a slight bit of sweetness.

Can You Make Sangria Ahead of Time?

Yes! You absolutely should make most sangria recipes ahead of time. With this specific recipe, combine everything but the sparkling wine ahead of time. Then, add the sparkling wine just before serving to avoid the sparkling wine going flat.

This mixed berry summer sangria recipe features prosecco to add the perfect effervescence to the drink. Prosecco, a white sparkling wine from Italy, has long been considered a more affordable alternative to Champagne making it a perfect everyday sparkling wine and perfect for using in this mixed berry Prosecco sangria. 

Mixed Berry Summer Sangria Recipe Ingredients

• Raspberry Lemonade: You can use a regular lemonade here but it will be less sweet so you might need to add sugar or more simple syrup.
• Vodka: Vodka typically has a more neutral flavor than a lot of other spirits making it perfect in this sangria recipe.
• Mixed Berries: I use a mix of raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries for this recipe. You can easily mix up the berries though and include strawberries too.
• Prosecco: Prosecco offers the right amount of sweetness and the bubbles are perfect for this batch sangria recipe.
• Mint Simple Syrup: The mint adds some freshness and goes great with the berries. You can substitute regular simple syrup, if preferred.

This Prosecco fruit sangria is so perfect for summer! It is cool, refreshing and filled with flavors of apple and pear from the Prosecco. I always keep extra berries on hand too to garnish the glasses for a fun touch.
