That sounds amazing!! I love Sangria, and having fresh fruit during the summer is perfect for this. Am I allowed to have it for lunch? ha/ha

That looks so delicious. I love the colors, too. That’s the kind of drink that is so perfect for this time of year, especially when the Fourth rolls around.

This looks perfect for July 4th drinking and to enjoy all summer long. Sangria with fruit is always delicious and I love your idea of adding Bing cherries to the mix.

What a delicious drink. I need to get the ingredients so I can make this drink
I love using fresh berries in the summer for food and drinks. I think the addition of the orange liquer will work well with the berries.
A variety of berries is the key. We do sangria with frozen fruit and berries, and it comes out delish.
This is such a great recipe for the 4th! Next time we have people over, I’ll have to make it.
