Easy Berry Sangria
So easy and refreshing, chockfull of strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries. And all you need is just 5 min prep!
Summer isn’t officially here until June 21st, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be sipping on these summer berry sangrias right now.
And with just 5 minutes of prep work (and an hour to chill), you could be sipping on these every single day, all year long. I’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s perfect for entertaining large crowds, or for a party of one.
And if you don’t have anything prepared for Mother’s Day – this should do the trick because nothing says “I love you, Mom” more than a glass of this refreshing quadruple berry sangria.

Do you add the soda to the pitcher or pour it in the glass before serving?
I am somewhat of a naturalist and do not use artificial ingredients if I can help it. I was wondering that instead of the lemon lime soda could you use the juice from fresh lemons and limes?
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
I made something similar to this for the 4th. Except I used moscato. The blackberries became very mushy. But the overall taste was very good. I won’t use blackberries next time I make it.
I received a bottle of Stella rose red as a gift… can I make this with that.. I’m not really a wine drinker but I remember a friend ordered a sangria at a restaurant once and I tried it it was very fruity and delish.. if this type would not be good for this drink any suggestions on how to serve or drink this with some added flair?? Thank you
Hi Allie! Unfortunately, without having tried the Stella Rose myself, it’s hard to say! As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
Hi! How far in advance can I make this? Would it be ok to make the night before the evening you plan to drink it? Or will it go weird sitting in the fridge for 24 hours?
I would recommend no more than 2 hours as the fruit will get limp if set for longer, and the sangria can taste bitter!
Looks like a great recipe and super healthy. I don’t understand why it shows “whisk” since that would just make a mess. Seems best to choose to either leave berries whole or blend it.
Made this for a small gathering of friends yesterday and it was very good! My one comment is the sugar kind of stayed at the bottom. I’m not sure if there is a way to dissolve it beforehand or is that just a typical sangria problem? I’ll make it again!
Amber, you can try making a simple syrup instead by combining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Hope that helps!
It does say whisk together wine and berries. But in the picture your berries are still in good shape not smashed. How come? 🙂
Christy, whisking the berries won’t really cause them to smash, unless you are whisking them really really hard!
I also have another question, because in Greece I cannot find fresh berries, can I use frozen ones ?
Do they have to be thawed in advance before the preparation of the sangria ?
Frozen berries would work very well here – they can even act as “ice cubes” to keep the sangria nice and cold!
Does the rose wine have to be sweet ?
Electra, that really depends on your personal preference.
Hello Chungah! I grabbed all my ingredients from Costco today and yummmm!!! Utilized their organic fruits and used organic lemon soda from there too. Truly love it! I have been a great fan of yours. Can’t wait to purchase your book. Keep these damn delicious recipes coming. My hubby feels that I become a chef in an instant.
I love sangria, but my recipe is a little more involved than this so I am totally open to simplifying! I love berries, and I bet the lemon-lime soda gives it a super refreshing taste. Thanks for the recipe. Can’t wait to try it!
So pretty! Perfect for a weekend BBQ 🙂 Yay for early summer sangria!
Do you serve it strained? Or fruit and all over soda and ice?
Nope, there’s no need to stain this. Sangria is typically served with fruit.
Oh dear….this looks way too good! I think to be on the safe side, I would need to limit myself to just one! Then I would refill with just the lemon-lime soda. Sounds so refreshing.
Can you make this virgin or not? How if you can.
Yes, absolutely. You can omit the wine altogether and add more soda or sparkling water as needed.
