Easy Red White and Blue Sangria

Instructions

Prep time: 20 minutes / best served if left chilling in the fridge for at least four hours

Wash and slice Granny Smith apples, then cut apple stars with a metal cookie cutter. Place apple stars in a container with a small amount of water and add some lemon to prevent apples from browning. You will be using 3/4 of your apples for your sangria blend, and saving the rest in a closed container in the refrigerator for garnishing your cocktails upon serving.

Stir together wine, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, 3/4 of the apples, lemonade and apple juice together in a large pitcher. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. The longer it refrigerates the better the flavors will blend!

When you’re ready to serve the sangria, gradually stir in the champagne and ice. Serve immediately and garnish with a star apple on top.

You can also choose to reserve some of the blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries so you can layer on glasses before pouring sangria in order to achieve a tiered red, white and blue presentation.
