Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bottle of Prosecco
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 cup mixed berries
- 1 orange, sliced
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and chilled. Select a large glass pitcher that can hold at least 2 liters of liquid.
- Wash the mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry gently with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
- Slice the orange into thin, uniform rounds. Try to remove any visible seeds to prevent bitterness in the sangria.
- Add the mixed berries and orange slices to the bottom of the pitcher. Gently muddle the fruits slightly to release their natural juices and aromatics.
- Pour the orange juice into the pitcher, allowing it to blend with the fruits. Stir gently to distribute the flavors.
- Just before serving, slowly pour the chilled Prosecco into the pitcher. Pour at an angle to preserve the bubbles and prevent excessive foam.
- Add a few fresh mint leaves to the pitcher, gently pressing them to release their essential oils and fragrance.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and carefully ladle the sangria, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruits.
- Garnish each glass with an additional mint leaf and a small slice of orange for an elegant presentation.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the sangria at its freshest, with the Prosecco still sparkling and fruits infusing the drink.
Tips
- • Always use chilled Prosecco to maintain its bubbles and crisp flavor • Choose ripe, seasonal berries for the most intense fruit infusion • Gently muddle fruits to release flavors without creating a pulpy texture • Use clear glass pitchers to showcase the beautiful fruit layers • Serve immediately after adding Prosecco to preserve carbonation • For an extra touch, freeze some berries to use as natural ice cubes • Experiment with different mint varieties like spearmint or chocolate mint • If preparing in advance, add Prosecco just before serving to keep it sparkling
