Camping Sangria (minus the camping)


Camping Sangria

Sadly, it’s nearing the end of summer and we’ve only just realized that we haven’t tried nearly enough summer recipes. We decided to remedy this by making this fun and easy Sangria recipe that we found on Pinterest. Unfortunately, we went camping before discovering this lovely little recipe so we served it at a friend’s house instead. We also tweaked the recipe a bit to include the fruits we like instead of those that were recommended. 

This is a simple recipe and you can chose whichever fruit you prefer, just have fun with it!


 Ingredients:

2 large containers (or pitchers, whatever you have on hand)
1 cup blueberries
1 cup blackberries
1 cup raspberries
2 cups strawberries
1 kiwi (sliced)
1 bottle (1.5 L) of white wine (we chose Barefoot Moscato)
1 bottle (1.75 L) of plain vodka (we chose Smirnoff)
1 Liter Fresca soda

We bought these two big containers at the dollar store. They worked perfectly and fit in the fridge which was a plus since we were dealing with limited space.


Directions:

Wash and cut up your fruit into bite sized pieces. 
Trust us on this you’re going to want to eat these right out of your glass. 
Separate your fruit into both containers.




Pour 1/3 of the vodka into each container. Recap and save the rest. 
You know, for shots later.


Pour ½ of the wine into each container. 
We really like wine so we used the entire bottle. 
Don’t judge.


Pour ½ of the Fresca into each container. 
Watch out because it will fizz up and could overflow.



Refrigerate to chill or if you’re impatient like us serve it while still warm. 
We were too excited to wait!

Serve in see through glasses so you can enjoy the colorful fruit as it floats around in the bubbly mix. It’s such a pretty summertime drink to enjoy on warm afternoons or with friends anytime.



We found that the smaller berries didn’t fare too well in the alcohol but the strawberries were delicious. We all had spoons to help dig out and eat the fruit at the bottom of our glasses because we're classy like that.

 
Cheers!
