What you need to make this Muddled Summer Berry Sangria
- A fruit forward Red Wine ( I like Red Zinfandel)
- Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries
- Berry Flavored Vodka ( I like Smirnoff Red White & Berry)
- A splash of Orange or Pineapple Juice if you have it
- Muddler
How to make this quick and easy Muddled Fresh Berry Sangria
If you are just making a glass of sangria for yourself, muddle the fruit in a glass of your choice. I don’t have patience so this is what I do. Then add ice, a dash of fruit juice (orange or pineapple is great), the berry vodka, and top it off with red wine! AND Drink up!
To make a pitcher of Muddled Fresh Berry Sangria
If you want to serve this up for friends or family and make a larger sized pitcher, follow the same steps and just add 1 oz of vodka per every 8 ounces. So if you have a 32 ounce pitcher, you would have 4 ounces of vodka and I would just use the entire bottle of wine. If you would like a more traditional sangria, you can let the (not muddled) fruit, liquor, wine, and juice combo marinate in the fridge until ready to serve. Then you would pour over ice.
I hope you enjoy this Summer Berry Sangria Recipe! And hope you have a great start to your Summer! Stop on back and let me know if you gave it a try!
