Summer Sangria

In the summertime, cool cocktails are a must, especially when faced with hot, humid nights.  My solution is to make a pitcher of this super easy, super tasty summer sangria!  It all starts with one of my favorite wines, a sweet shiraz by Jam Jar.  Add some fresh strawberry puree, orange juice and a little triple sec and you've got yourself a winning concoction! 

Summer Sangria

  • 750ml sweet shiraz or other sweet red wine
  • 4oz orange juice
  • 4oz fresh strawberry puree (about 1/2 cup whole strawberries)
  • 2oz triple sec
  • fresh strawberries and blueberries

In a large pitcher, add wine, orange juice, strawberry puree and triple sec.  Stir.  Add in fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries. Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.  Add additional fresh fruit per glass, as desired.
