Red, White & Blue Sangria

Happy 4th of July!

We are having a cookout today at Architect’s house and I agreed to bring a festive cocktail.  

So I searched Pinterest for a patriotic potion and I found a Red, White & Blue Sangria courtesy of recipegirl.com.    Younger daughter pointed out that there is no juice involved…there is berry-flavored vodka but there’s enough fruit to take care of the fruit detail.  

Red, White & Blue Sangria

Ingredients:

2 bottles dry white wine.  I used Yellow Tail Sauvignon Blanc.
1 cup triple sec
1/2 cup berry-flavored vodka
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup simple syrup (I used Stirrings)
1 cup blueberries
1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
1 cup raspberries
1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks or stars punched out of mini cookie cutters.  I used the star in my Pampered Chef mini cookie cutter kit.

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a large punch bowl or pitcher and stir well. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Serve well-chilled with a good scoop of fruit floating in each drink, or serve over ice.
