This festive Sangria is perfect for the Fourth of July or any summer cookout! The Limoncello adds its own unique zest to give this Sangria just a bit more hype.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 Bottle of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Albarino, Gewurztraminer, Viognier)
  • 2 shots Limoncello
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup strawberries or raspberries (frozen are fine)
  • 1/3 Cup Sugar (sweeten to taste)
  • 2 cups Ginger Ale

Preparation:

Pour wine in a pitcher. Toss in the fruit and add sugar and Limoncello. Carefully stir until well blended. Chill overnight. Add ginger ale and ice just before serving.

If you'd like to serve right away, use chilled white wine and serve over lots of ice.

Very Festive Sangria, Member Wolly_Bully

THE sangria for the July 4th holiday - colorful, fun, and different. A ""must do"" at your next July 4th, Memorial Day, or Vet's Day gathering. The only drawback: too sweet. Reduce sugar to 1/4 cup (at most), none if using a sweet wine. Also, a terrible waste of Limoncello. Recommend using concentrated lemon juice instead. Enjoy!!
