Summer Berry Sangria is a refreshing cocktail made with summer berries soaked in red wine with berry infused vodka and a sweet bubbly ginger ale.
I love red wine. By no means am I an expert, but I can certainly tell you if a wine tastes good or not. What else is there to say?
I love summer berries. I live in Oregon – it is sort of a prerequisite. I love to pick as many berries as I can during the summer months and freeze them in mass quantities to use in smoothies, pies, breakfasts, and cocktails all year long.
I love marionberry infused vodka. I don’t know where you live or if this type of vodka is available to you, but it is worth it. Find a way to get your hands on some. It will change your life.
I love ginger ale. It makes my tummy feel better. And it is perfectly sweet with a bit of zip. And its a great mixer in booze.
What happens when you combine all of these things I love with a little sugar? You get this super tasty and refreshing summer berry sangria. Just picture yourself enjoying a warm afternoon with a pitcher of this wonderful drink shared among friends. Yeah… that’s my kind of afternoon.

I’m definitely going to have to look for that vodka next time I go to the liquor store. This sangria looks fantastic!
I normally drink white wine, but would love to try this…
Do you rember which type of wine you used? I wouldn’t know where to start!
Hi Alana, I have no idea. I always try different kinds… usually any $6 variety from Trader Joes!
Does this really make just one cocktail? Looks great Just what I want. However I want a large pitcher to serve at party.
Hi there! My apologies… that must have been a typo. With a full bottle of wine along with all those other goodies, I’d say this makes a solid six servings. thanks! Krissy
I was given a bottle of wine from The Biltmore’s collection. It’s a sweet red wine!! I generally only drink dry red – I’m wondering if I could use this wine for a sangria and maybe just leave out the sugar?? What do you think/
Absolutely – especially if you like the way it tastes! If you try it, will you please come back and let me know how you like it? Thanks!
Where do you find blackberry infused vodka? I have a bowl of this ready to go. Just missing the vodka.
Sorry for the late reply. This is the kind I use: https://wildrootsvodka.com/
