Equipment

Ingredients

2 granny smith apples or bartlett pears
1 cup fresh blueberries or ½ cup blueberries and ½ cup blackberries
1 cup fresh strawberries (about 8 small strawberries) sliced
1 cup fresh raspberries
750 milliliter chilled white wine (1 bottle) sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio
¾ cup blueberry or other berry flavored vodka
1 ½ cups lemonade
¼ cup blueberry simple syrup
sparkling water

Instructions

Slice the apples or pears into thin rounds. Then, cut out stars using a small star-shaped cookie cutter until you have about 1 cup of stars.
Add the star-shaped fruit and berries to a large pitcher.
Pour wine, blueberry vodka, lemonade, and blueberry simple syrup over top. Stir to combine.
Place in the refrigerator and allow to chill at least 30 minutes before serving. The longer the better, so the fruit can soak in all the flavors, up to 4 hours.
Serve chilled in glasses topped with any additional fruit and a splash of sparkling water.

Notes

The fruit will start to break down the longer it sits. Make the sangria no more than 4 hours ahead of serving.
You can use frozen fruit for a frostier beverage. However, the fruit will become very soft as it defrosts.
For the best taste, purchase a lemonade with as few preservatives as possible. Also look for minimal added sugar.
