Berry Delicious Mixed Berry Spritzer

There’s no time like summertime for berries! This red wine mixer is so delicious, be prepared to be asked for seconds. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Red wine
  • Raspberries
  • Blueberries
  • Blackberries
  • Soda water

Start by covering the bottom of a serving pitcher with a mix of berries. Make sure this layer is no more than an inch thick or so. Pour your wine over the berries and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This will ensure that the berry flavors permeate through the wine (yummy). After you are satisfied with the resting time, top off your pitcher with soda water and chill before serving. For a extra treat, add a small handful of berries into your glass.

Whether you want to add citrus or berries, you’re serving a spritzer or sangria, dressing up your wine doesn’t have to seem daunting. Wine mixers make for a delightful experience! The bonus is you will enjoy the visual presentation that goes with the flavorful drinks.

Cheers!
