        Summer Berry Sangria

        A sweet sparkling sangria loaded with luscious summer berries is the consummate summer cocktail. This recipe is so easy you will be making it all summer long.
         A sweet sparkling sangria loaded with luscious summer berries is the consummate summer co Summer Berry Sangria

        Sitting in the back yard on a hot summers day, sipping away on a sweet Summer Berry Sangria while you enjoy the company of your loved ones.

        I can hardly think of a better summer moment.  Chad and I really enjoy gatherings with our family and friends: the kids running around in the back yard while I (wo)man the grill.

        I prepare an array of burgers, sides, icy treats and cold summer drinks.  A feast fit for our crew as we come together to celebrate and make memories.

        Nothing could be sweeter than your favorite flavors coming together to create your new favorite summer cocktail.

        I know some people love summer fun drinks, but want to avoid the alcohol. I tell you...  Whip this recipe up with white grape juice and 7-Up. You will thank me.


        You can use nearly any kind of fruit to garnish a Summer Berry Sangria. While some recipes call for the addition of rum, brandy, vodka or limoncello, we created a simple sangria.

        Halve the sugar to 1/4 cup if you prefer your drinks lightly sweet.

        A pitcher full of your new favorite sangria couldn't be more perfect.  It is packed full of macerated summer berries and lemons, a sparkling moscato wine makes the perfect sangria.

        But, you better have a double batch ready.  This is so good it will disappear in a blink!
        You can create tons of variations with this simple recipe.

        So, I decided I wanted to create a red wine sangria next and I totally got myself sidetracked. We wanted to create the perfect Sangria with Merlot.

        It is truly spectacular and we created several sangria recipes, many frozen treats and then...  The magic happened. We created the most magnificent ice cream we have ever tasted.


        It all starts with a thick, rich Merlot ice cream created with a custard base.  As if that isn't perfect enough; and believe me it is rich, creamy and flavorful.

        We marinated strawberries, raspberries and blueberries in entwine Merlot and then cooked it the most heavenly jam I have ever tasted.

        The Merlot berry jam is swirled through out this adults only ice cream.

        It is a divine treat.  The bright berry sweetness bursts in your mouth, followed by the fruity Merlot wine flavor.  Rich and creamy, decadent and summery all in one perfect bite.

        Truly a sangria and an ice cream all in one spectacular creation!  Now you can have your Sangria and eat it too!!!  This is the ultimate.

        A cocktail in a cone. Check that recipe our here: Triple Berry Sangria Ice Cream.
