Equipment

Large glass pitcher (2-quart capacity)
Long wooden spoon for stirring

Sharp knife and cutting board
Measuring cups and spoons
Wine glasses for serving
Ice bucket
Strainer (optional)

Ingredients

2 bottles dry white wine Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup blue curaçao liqueur
2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup fresh raspberries
2 white peaches sliced
1 white apple diced
1/2 cup brandy
Club soda for topping
Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

Wash all fruit and slice the strawberries, peaches, and apple.

Add the sliced fruit to a large pitcher.
Pour the white wine, blue curaçao, and brandy over the fruit.
Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix the ingredients.

Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours to let the flavors blend.
Before serving, give the sangria a gentle stir.
Fill wine glasses with ice and pour the sangria.

Top each glass with a splash of club soda.
Garnish with extra fresh fruit from the pitcher.

Notes

The sangria can be made up to 24 hours in advance. The fruit will become softer the longer it soaks.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the wine with white grape juice and the blue curaçao with blue fruit punch.

Store any leftover sangria in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The blue curaçao creates the blue color, while the white fruits and red berries complete the patriotic theme.

Tasting Notes

This patriotic sangria starts with a crisp, refreshing burst of white wine. The fruity blend includes sweet strawberries, tart blueberries, and bright apple notes that dance on the tongue.

White peach and citrus flavors add depth to each sip. The mix of fruits creates a natural sweetness that balances perfectly with the wine’s dry character.

A light sparkle from the club soda gives this sangria a fun, fizzy texture. The bubbles help lift the fruit flavors and make each taste more vibrant.

The drink stays cold and refreshing thanks to the frozen fruit pieces. As they slowly thaw, they release more flavor without watering down the drink.

Suggested serving temperature: 40-45°F (4-7°C)
