For the berry puree

  • 2 cups strawberries 
  • 2 cups blueberries  
  • 1 cup water 

For the sangria

  • 2 bottles (750ml) moscato  
  • 1 cup blueberries  
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries  
  • 1 cup raspberries

  • Seltzer water 

DIRECTIONS

Make the raspberry syrup:
  1. Puree the raspberries in a blender with ½ cup water then add it to a medium saucepan with the sugar. Bring it to a boil over medium/high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 5 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to come to room temperature. Strain to remove the seeds and set aside until ready to use.

Make the berry puree:

  1. To a blender, add the strawberries, blueberries, and water. Blend on high until completely smooth. Strain to remove the solids and set aside until ready to use.

Make the sangria:

  1. In a large pitcher (One that holds about 2 gallons) add the raspberry simple syrup, berry puree, lemon juice, berry vodka, Moscato, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and lemon slices. Stir to combine, or if you’re using a container with a lid – Shake it! Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and that situation to chill.
  2. Serve topped with seltzer.
