Ingredients
Base
- 1 bottle dry red wine 750 ml
- 1/2 cup blackberry liqueur or blackberry syrup
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur optional
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 lemon sliced

Juice & Sweetener
- 1/2 cup cranberry juice
- 1/4 cup simple syrup adjust to taste
To Serve

- Club soda or lemon-lime soda optional
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fruit
- Wash all the fruit thoroughly. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds. Slice strawberries if they are large.
- Place blackberries, orange slices, lemon slices, and strawberries into a large pitcher.
- This step is important because the fruit slowly releases flavor into the wine.
Step 2: Add the Wine
- Pour the entire bottle of red wine over the fruit.
- Choose a dry red wine so the sangria doesn’t become overly sweet.
- Stir gently to combine.
Step 3: Add Blackberry Flavor
- Add blackberry liqueur or blackberry syrup into the pitcher.
- This is what gives the sangria its signature fruity depth.
- Stir slowly so the fruit doesn’t break too much.
Step 4: Add Juice and Sweetener
- Pour in cranberry juice and simple syrup.
- Stir again gently.
- Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
Step 5: Chill the Sangria
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- For best flavor, let it chill overnight so the fruit fully infuses the wine.
Step 6: Serve
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour sangria over the top.
- Add extra fruit to each glass for presentation.
- If desired, top with a splash of club soda for a lighter fizzy version.
