Ingredients
Scale
Fruit
- 6 ounces fresh raspberries (around 1 cup, with extra for topping)
- 16 ounces fresh strawberries (2 cups, hulled and sliced, with extra for topping)
- 2 ripe peaches, nectarines, or oranges (sliced)
Liquids
- 1 chilled 750 ml bottle of Moscato (white or pink)
- 1/2 cup triple sec or Chambord
- 1/2 cup peach or pineapple juice
- Ginger ale, soda water, or ginger beer (to top)
Instructions
- Add Fresh Fruit: Begin by adding the fresh raspberries, sliced strawberries, and sliced peaches, nectarines, or oranges to the bottom of a large pitcher, layering the fruits evenly.
- Pour Liquids: Slowly pour in the chilled bottle of Moscato wine, followed by the triple sec or Chambord and the peach or pineapple juice over the fruit in the pitcher.
- Combine Flavors: Gently stir the mixture to combine all the flavors without breaking up the fruit too much, ensuring an even infusion.
- Chill Sangria: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully.
- Optional Longer Chill: For deeper infusion, allow the sangria to chill overnight in the refrigerator, but do not exceed 24 hours to prevent the fruit from becoming overly soggy.
- Serve Sangria: When ready to serve, pour the sangria into wine glasses until about three-quarters full, making sure to include some of the soaked fruit pieces in each glass.
- Add Fizz: Top each glass with ginger ale, club soda, or ginger beer to add a refreshing fizz and balance the sweetness.
Notes
- Use ripe and fresh fruits for the best flavor infusion.
- The choice of Moscato (white or pink) can slightly alter the flavor profile.
- Do not leave the sangria chilling for more than 24 hours to keep the fruit fresh and prevent bitterness.
- For a lighter version, opt for soda water instead of ginger ale or ginger beer.
- Adjust the amount of triple sec or Chambord according to your preference for sweetness and alcohol content.
