Ingredients
1.5 liters Moscato wine
1/2 cup silver tequila
11.3 ounces strawberry nectar
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for freezing
Lemon-lime soda or sparkling water, optional
Directions
In a large pitcher, combine the Moscato wine, silver tequila, and strawberry nectar. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended together.
Add the fresh blueberries, sliced strawberries, and 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries to the pitcher. Stir gently to distribute the fruit throughout the liquid.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Place additional fresh raspberries on a tray in the freezer overnight until solid.
To serve, pour the sangria into glasses, making sure to include some of the macerated fruit from the bottom of the pitcher in each glass.
Top each glass with several frozen raspberries, which will keep the drink cold and add extra berry flavor as they thaw.
For added effervescence, splash a small amount of lemon-lime soda or sparkling water on top of each serving, if desired.
Comments
This sangria hits every mark for a Charlotte summer gathering: all ingredients are stocked year-round at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Publix, Walmart, ALDI, and Kroger, with fresh berries cheaply available June through August from local farms or standard produce. The stated 485 minutes is wildly dishonest—this is a 15-minute assembly (cutting fruit, pouring, stirring), then 6-8 hours of chilling, so budget 8.5 hours total, not a genuine prep demand. At roughly $1.50 per serving, it's a bargain for a crowd, and it keeps beautifully in the fridge for two days, so it's ideal for a Saturday afternoon into Sunday. The only caveat: if you're shopping in late fall or winter, berries cost double, which pushes the per-serving closer to $2.50.
