Why We Love It
This sparkling sangria is light, fruity, and perfectly balanced. The Brandy adds a richness and the Chambord adds a subtle sweet, raspberry richness, while the fresh berries bring vibrant summer flavor and a patriotic pop of color. Best of all, it comes together in minutes so you can spend less time mixing and more time celebrating.
We Drink Bubbles Tip
For the best results, use a crisp Brut sparkling wine to keep the sangria refreshing and not overly sweet. A dry Rosé sparkling wine also makes a stunning, berry-forward variation. Shop sparkling wines here.
