¼cupsugar(preferably superfine but granulated is fine)
¼cupChambord(or other berry liqueur)
2cupssliced strawberries
2cupsblackberries
1cupraspberries
1cupwhite grape juice
1bottle dry white wine(such as Sauvignon Blanc)
1(750-ml) bottle sparkling rosé(chilled)
½cupsmall fresh basil leaves
Instructions
In a very large pitcher (or you can do this in a large bowl and then divide it into two pitchers), combine the sugar and Chambord, and allow the sugar to dissolve. Add the strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries, toss to combine, then add the white grape juice and white wine. Refrigerate for 2 to 8 hours.
Just before serving add the chilled sparking rosé and basil. Serve in pretty glasses, such as generously sized wine glasses, making sure some berries and basil get into each glass.
Notes
You can substitute prosecco, cava, or any other sparkling wine you like for the rosé. Don’t use the priciest bottles of bubbly in a sangria recipe; there are a lot of other flavors going on, so save the fancy stuff for drinking straight up. There are a lot of perfectly fine inexpensive sparkling wines out there. Just make sure you pick a dry one. Make sure the sparkling wine is chilled before adding it to the pitcher.
