Stars & Stripes Sangria

Are you looking for an incredibly low-key yet festive drink to bring to your 4th of July gathering? Look no further than this Stars & Stripes Sangria! This large-batch drink features rosé, everyone’s favorite summertime drink, plus refreshing/patriotic berries. You might even want to make a double batch, because we know this drink won’t last long!

One note about this recipe – it does need to sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving, so be sure to leave yourself plenty of time before your party!

One of the best aspects of sangria is how customizable it is.  Not feeling the rosé?  Want to make it a little less patriotic for a different holiday?  Check out some of these variations instead!  (Making any of these options is simple – just follow the instructions for the Stars & Stripes Sangria below!)
