SPARKLING RED, WHITE AND BLUE SANGRIA

This Sparkling Red, White and Blue Sangria recipe is fun, delicious, easy to make, and guaranteed to be the hit of your patriotic party!

INGREDIENTS:

1 bottle dry white wine

2 cups fresh blueberries

1 cup fresh raspberries

1 cup apple juice or white grape juice

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 bottle champagne (or any variety of sparkling white wine)

3-4 Granny Smith apples (*or see alternatives below)

ice

DIRECTIONS:

1. Stir together white wine, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and apple juice together in a large pitcher.  Cover and refrigerate for 1-4 hours, so that the flavors can meld.  (Heads up that the longer the mixture sits, the more red it will become.)

2. When you’re ready to serve the sangria, gradually stir in the champagne and apples and ice.  Serve immediately.

3. *Other options for the “white” fruit could include fresh pears, jicama, pineapple or starfruit.

4. **If you would like the tiered red, white and blue presentation in individual glasses that I used, just add extra red berries to the bottom of empty serving glasses, followed by a layer of blueberries, then strain out the sangria wine, and add some apple stars on top.

*If you’d like to give your sangria an extra kick, I love stirring in an extra 3/4 cup St. Germaine.  Or you can use any other favorite liqueurs too.
