Notes
Sweetness: Start with ½ cup of the berry syrup and add more to taste — the sweetness will depend on your wine and how ripe your fruit is.Berry options: Use any mix of berries you like — blueberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries all work great. Just use 1 cup total for the syrup.Wine options: A dry rosé is ideal, but white wine or red wine both work great. Sparkling rosé can be used, but it will go flat and taste slightly carbonated, so it's not the top pick.Make-ahead tip: You can make the berry syrup up to a week ahead and keep it in the fridge.Storage: Store leftover sangria (without club soda) covered in the pitcher in the fridge for up to 2 days.
