One of my favorite drinks during the summertime is sangria. There are so many choices when it comes to dressing it up and the fruit possibilities are endless. It’s a great way to enjoy red wine in the warmer months too. This Red, White and Blue Sangria checks all the boxes when it comes to sangria perfection.
I chose a pinot noir as my base for this sangria. I wanted a wine that was a little more tart and Pinot Noir fits into that mold perfectly. I knew the cranberry juice and simple syrup would create the balance I was looking for with sweetness.
If you have a large container you could easily double or triple this recipe and serve with a ladle. It would be perfect for a large gathering of friends.
The most important step for your sangria is to let your fruit soak overnight in the alcohol and juices….nothing is better than booze-soaked fruit.
Serve your sangria very cold and with lots of ice in your glass.
Enjoy this on the deck with friends and celebrate summer.

I tried this on the 4thof July. The sangria is so good my daughter took some to a Halloween party and I am making some for Thanksgiving. This is my favorite sangria recipe. The Pinot Noir and Brandy, mixed with the juices and fruit produce an unbelievably good taste.
