Refreshing Summer Sangria
Summer is here…and so are brunches, BBQs and sunny Saturday afternoons. Sangria is a perfect beverage for casual gatherings because it is easy to prepare in large batches and people can serve themselves. The sangria recipe I shared for Mother’s Day is a rosé sangria…this one is made with a dry white wine, and I like to use Sauvignon Blanc. My husband’s family loves this particular sangria and so I make it a few times in the summer…it is delicious, easy to prepare and is pretty in the pitcher. I am confident you and your guests will love this refreshing summer sangria.

1 cup fresh blueberries
1.5 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

Simple Syrup:
To make 1/2 cup of simple syrup, boil 1/2 cup water and add 1/2 cup granulated white sugar. Reduce heat to simmer and stir until dissolved. Turn off heat and let cool.

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve well chilled with a large scoop of fruit in each glass.
