Unlike a heavier sangria that uses red wine, this recipe is light, bubbly, and super refreshing. Instead of having the fruit soak into wine, you add the Prosecco at the last minute so it stays bubbly.
And it’s beautiful! It’s perfect for a brunch buffet or anywhere else it can be out on display.
It is ideal for spring but it would be welcome any time ❤️.

tips for success
Berry Magic: Letting them sit with sugar sweetens the drink and extracts the rich, fruity flavors, making the sangria taste richer.
Chill Out: It’s crucial to refrigerate the mixture 2-4 hours after adding the vodka.
Last Minute Fizz: Add the club soda and Prosecco right before serving. This ensures that the drink retains its fizz and stays lively.
Flavor Variations: Don’t hesitate to experiment. Though raspberry Stoli vodka is a favorite, trying other fruit-flavored vodkas can bring in a fresh twist. Try lemon or peach!
