Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 750 milliliters Moscato (1 bottle, for a less sweet sangria, try Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 15-18 ounces berry juice (such as Naked Berry Blast or V8 Splash Berry Blend)
- ½ cup Pearl Red Berry Vodka (can use unflavored or citrus-flavored vodka)
- 1 liter lemon lime soda (can substitute club soda for a less citrusy flavor)
Fruits
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries (plus more for garnish)
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the Moscato wine, Pearl Red Berry vodka, berry juice, and sliced fresh strawberries and raspberries into a large pitcher. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the pitcher uncovered or covered for 1 to 2 hours. This allows the flavors to meld together and the fruit to infuse the liquid.
- Add Soda Before Serving: Just before serving, pour in the lemon lime soda into the pitcher and stir carefully to combine without losing the carbonation.
- Serve and Garnish: Fill glasses with ice, pour the sangria over the ice, and garnish with additional fresh strawberries and raspberries for an attractive presentation.
Notes
- For a less sweet variation, substitute Moscato with Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
- You can customize your berry juice choice to your preferred brand or blend.
- Using citrus-flavored vodka adds an extra zing, but unflavored vodka works well too.
- Serve the sangria cold for the best refreshing taste.
- To make it non-alcoholic, omit the vodka and replace Moscato with a sparkling white grape juice.
