In honor of summer, I wanted to share this deliciously perfect Strawberry Sangria Recipe that will be sure to quench your thirst and leave you thinking about the fruits of summer!
I know, I know…we are all supposed to be switching to fall mode. I’d really love to do that however it’s still like 95 degrees here and really humid so I can’t help but still feel like it’s summer here.
This refreshing sangria is made with grapes, blueberries, and strawberries with a bit of triple sec to give it a fresh citrus flavor in the background.
I use a Strawberry wine from St. James Winery here in St. James, MO. It’s about 10 minutes from where I went to college in Rolla, MO so we used to frequent it on beautiful Friday afternoons in the fall and spring! The sweetness of the wine gives enough flavor that no additional sugar is needed!
I like to garnish with a whole strawberry as well as a small skewer of the grapes and blueberries. It’s pretty and it’s like a snack while you drink :) I mean between the fruit garnish and the fruit floating in the drink it’s like a serving in itself! I am totally contributing to your daily intake of fruits here {wink}.
