Made with Pinot Grigio, this mixed berry sangria will be your poolside beverage of choice all summer long. It’s cool and refreshing for the dog days of summer.

Whether you’re spending lazy days by the pool or entertaining friends with a backyard cookout this mixed berry sangria is the perfect beverage choice.
Sangria is a quintessential drink. Enjoy a red sangria, like this peach cherry sangria from Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks or a white wine version like my margarita sangria or white wine sangria.
It’s really perfect at any time of year.
Typically a sangria is made with red wine, various fruits, a few other ingredients, and sometimes spirits. Sangria is one of the most popular drinks in Spanish cuisine.
Sangria blanca, or white wine sangria, is a more recent innovation. Red sangria can be traced back to the 18th century but white sangria began to make an appearance in the mid 1960s.
I like to make white sangria with a pinot grigio. It’s not sweet and can stand up to adding sweeter ingredients, like the orange liqueur here. You could also use sauvignon blanc if you don’t have pinot grigio.
While you could use fresh berries, I prefer to use frozen so the wine stays cooler longer.
