  • 1 lemon Lemon sliced into rounds
  • 1 lime Lime sliced into rounds
  • 1 orange Orange sliced into rounds
  • 1/2 cup Berries fresh or frozen (strawberries, blueberries, etc.)

  • 1-2 tablespoons Orange liqueur or brandy optional for added depth
  • 1/2 cup Club soda for fizz, added just before serving

Equipment

  • Chef's knife

  • Muddler

Method
 

  1. Slice the lemon, lime, and orange into thin rounds, and add them to a large pitcher along with the berries.
  2. Gently muddle the citrus and berries with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices and aromas.
  3. Pour the chilled white wine over the muddled fruit, filling the pitcher about three-quarters full.
  4. Add the simple syrup or honey to the wine mixture, then stir gently to combine everything evenly.
  5. Drop in the fresh mint or basil leaves, lightly pressing them to release their fragrant oils.
  6. If using, pour in the orange liqueur or brandy for extra depth of flavor, then stir again.
  7. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the sangria for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Just before serving, add the club soda to the pitcher and gently stir to introduce some lively fizz.
  9. Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice, making sure to include some fruit in each pour.
  10. Enjoy the vibrant, fruity flavors and refreshing bubbles with friends or family!
