This Strawberry Sangria recipe comes out at every summer gathering because it tastes like pure sunshine in a glass. With juicy fresh berries and zesty lemonade swirled into crisp white wine, it is the perfect way to cool off and impress friends all season long.

I first made this for a Fourth of July picnic and ended up passing the recipe to half the people there. Now it is my go to for brunch, birthdays, or lazy afternoon cookouts.

Ingredients

  • Sauvignon blanc: chilled snappy white and key for a fresh base choose a bottle with crisp citrus notes
  • Club soda: adds lots of bubbles and keeps everything light pick a bottle that is very cold
  • Frozen pink lemonade concentrate: this brings the signature tang and pink color look for one with real lemon juice
  • Simple syrup: sweetens and smoothes everything make your own with equal parts sugar and water boiled together
  • Lemon: select ripe lemons with thin smooth skin for good slices and gorgeous garnish
  • Fresh strawberries: pick deep red berries with no soft spots for best flavor and color
  • Fresh raspberries: bright red berries with no bruising or mushiness will hold their shape and release beautiful juice into the mix

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prepare the Lemonade:
Whisk together the frozen pink lemonade concentrate with your simple syrup until smooth. This makes sure the lemonade base is ready to sweeten and flavor the sangria evenly.
Combine Wine and Lemonade:
Gently stir your chilled sauvignon blanc into the lemonade and sugar mixture. Pour slowly and do not rush this step to keep those crisp wine flavors.
Add Fruits and Muddle:
Mix together all liquids with sliced strawberries, raspberries, and lemon rounds in a large pitcher or beverage dispenser. Lightly press the berries with a muddler or spoon. Let everything mingle for 10 to 15 minutes to unlock all that vibrant fresh fruit taste.
Finish with Club Soda and Ice:
Right before serving, add the club soda and plenty of ice. Stir gently so you keep those sparkling bubbles and do not break up the fruit slices too much.
Serve and Enjoy:
Pour into glasses making sure to get some berry and lemon with each serving. This tastes best fresh and icy cold.

Strawberries are my favorite part of this sangria because they soak up the lemonade and wine and taste absolutely incredible at the bottom of the glass. My kids always beg for the fruit after the grownups are done.

Storage Tips

Store leftover sangria in the fridge after scooping out any ice and lemon slices. This keeps it from getting watered down or bitter. It will still taste fresh for up to three days. You can also freeze the mixture in containers for a boozy adult slushie later.

Ingredient Substitutions

You can use any other crisp white wine like pinot grigio if you prefer. Blueberries or blackberries swap right in for raspberries and create a more jewel toned sangria. If strawberries are out of season use frozen sliced ones instead. Orange slices can sub in for lemon if that is what you have.

Serving Suggestions

This Strawberry Sangria is amazing with seafood appetizers or light cheese boards. Try tossing in a few mint or basil leaves for a garden twist. Serve in big wine glasses with extra fruit or a sugared rim to make it look extra festive. For a less sweet version cut back on the syrup and let the fruity flavors shine through.

Bringing Sangria to the Table

Sangria has roots in Spain and Portugal but it has become a summer favorite everywhere thanks to its cooling effect and adaptability. White sangria like this is especially popular during sunny months when everyone wants something that feels light and crisp. My family loves pairing it with grilled shrimp skewers at backyard gatherings because it feels just right with summer heat.
