Ingredients (makes about 4–6 servings)
- 2 cups DUCA Cabernet/Corvina or Merlot/Pinot Noir (a light-to-medium-bodied red wine works best)
- 1 cup blackberry or raspberry puree (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup pomegranate juice
- 1 cup orange juice
- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Plenty of ice
- Fresh raspberries and blueberries (for mixing in and garnishing)
- Lime wheels (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the red wine, berry puree, pomegranate juice, orange juice, and lime juice.
- Stir everything together with plenty of ice.
- Add fresh raspberries and blueberries directly into the mix.
- Pour into large wine glasses over ice and garnish with a lime wheel.
It’s a quick, no-fuss pitcher drink that emphasizes bold berry flavors balanced by citrus and pomegranate for a refreshing, slightly tart profile. The puree adds body and sweetness, while the fresh berries enhance texture and visual appeal.
Tips and Variations
- Wine choice: Opt for a smoother, fruit-friendly red like Pinot Noir or a blend to avoid overpowering tannins.
- Make it your own: Adjust sweetness by using more or less puree/juice, or add a splash of sparkling water for fizz. For a stronger version, include a berry liqueur or brandy.
- Occasions: Its vibrant red-purple hue and berry theme suit Halloween (“Boo”), summer parties, or brunch.
This sangria is straightforward and crowd-pleasing—perfect for batch-making without complicated techniques. Enjoy responsibly!
