Red, White, and Blue Sangria

With the 4th of July coming up I’ve been experimenting with red, white, and blue foods. In addition to red, white, and blue foods, I needed something cool and refreshing to drink. I’ve been on a huge sangria kick lately so I decided to try my hand at a festive one for the holiday. I also thought it would be great to bring to this week’s Sunday Supper picnic event!
I used strawberries for the red, blueberries for the blue, and a Pinot Grigio for the white. It worked out well as the blueberries sank to the bottom while the strawberries floated on top making a clear red, white, and blue beverage. The taste was fruity and slightly sweet and since it was chilled it was perfect for sipping at a summer BBQ. I stuck these fun Red and White Striped Straws in the sangria for us to drink from.
Red, White, and Blue Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 750mL bottle of Pinot Grigio ( I like Gallo Family Vineyards)
- 1 c. strawberries halved and sliced
- 1 c. fresh blueberries
- 1/4 c. fresh lime juice
- 1/2 c. orange liqueur
- 1 c. berry flavored seltzer water
Instructions
- In a large pitcher combine the Pinot Grigio, strawberries, blueberries, lime juice, and orange liqueur. Stir well and refrigerate for about 4 hours.
- When ready to serve add the berry seltzer to the pitcher. Pour over ice and garnish with additional berries.

Looks great. I have only made sangria once and I must give yours a try. We love blueberries and strawberries together. Thanks for the recipe.
I love trying new Sangria combinations!
What a great, and delicious, idea for a drink. And the amount of links is just amazing!
Sangria’s are my favorite and I really love this Red, White and Blue theme.
Love this red white and blue sangria! Perfect for the 4th!
I’m not sure if it’s kind of new, or just new to me, but I’m loving fruit chunks actually in the drinks. They look good and I’m sure they add a wonderful flavor burst as well.
Me too! I love adding fruits to my beverages!
That will be perfect for chilling out at our 4th of July picnic.
Wow! Look amazing! And I’m sure it tasted great!
I am picturing an entire picnic table full of red, white and blue food. Thanks for covering the drinks for us!
We adore sangria, this looks delicious! May have to add “peach” to those colours to appease the mom though!
I am a HUGE fan of sangria. Your red, white and blue version looks amazing!
Not only does this sound like the perfect summer cocktail – I love your styling of this! The glasses are adorable and so mid-century 🙂
I love this!! What a perfect drink for the 4th!
Very festive! I’m a little surprised the strawberries didn’t sink along with the blueberries but glad they didn’t because it makes for a cleaner presentation.
I’m surprised they didn’t sink either but it made a really pretty drink.
Now that looks perfect for the upcoming 4th of July!
Sangria is the best summer drink! How cool that you were really able to separate the colors — every time I try to do that everything just blends right in together! =(
Those glasses are super cute! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
This looks perfect for any picnic or summer party!!
Yummmm, how can you go wrong with fresh fruit and wine? Perfect!!
Perfect cocktail for the 4th! I can never resist a glass of sangria 🙂
Love the vintage glasses and this is a great sangria!!
Thanks! My husband is in to everything vintage and antique and picked them up a few weeks ago!
Yum. I just made an iced tea with blueberries and raspberries. Next time, I am going for the pinot and making this instead.
Gorgeous sangria! May have to leave out the ‘Blue’ for Day Canada C:
Perfect! Plus you could add some raspberries to make it really red!
