Sweetie Pie's Sangria Summer! Part 2: Rebel Red's Berry Sangria

Hello my thirsty darlings!

So, are you ready for part 2 of my Sangria Recipe series? Last week I brought you an Italian Style Sangria featuring Drama Queen Pinot Grigio. This week, I thought I'd go for a sweet Red Sangria with lots of yummy berries and of course, our very own Rebel Red.

So I ask you again: ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FABULOUS FRUITY FUN? 

Rebel Red's Berry Sangria

You'll need:

  • 1 bottle of Rebel Red Blend
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 3 tbsp grenadine
  • 2 cups cranberry/raspberry juice cocktail
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 pt strawberries, hulled
  • 1 pt raspberries
  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • 2 tbsp. sugar

Here's what you do:

  1. Combine red wine, cranberry juice, grenadine, and 1/4 cup sugar in a serving bowl.
  2. In food processor, puree 1/2 pt. strawberries, 1/2 pt. raspberries, and 1/4 cup sugar. Combine the wine and fruit mixtures.
  3. Slice rest of strawberries and coat with 2tbsp sugar. If preparing a day ahead, stop here! Refrigerate over night.
  4. When ready to serve, add sliced strawberries, raspberries, and orange slices to sangria.
  5. Pour into glasses or serve in a punchbowl. Ta Da!
