Let’s start the day with a Blackberry Vodka Sangria recipe, k? Everyone seems to be moving ahead to fall and fall recipes, but it’s still summer and I wanted sangria. Nothing wrong with that, right???  So I looked around the house to see what I could come up.  Next thing I knew I was making  this simple Blackberry Vodka Sangria with stuff I had around.  It doesn’t take long to put together but you should let the sangria sit in the fridge for at least a few hours or better yet overnight so that the flavor is a bit stronger.

First thing to do for the sangria is make the blackberry simple syrup.  Put your blackberries, water, and sugar in a pan.  Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.  You can add a little more or less blackberries depending on what you have in the house.  You can also add more/less sugar or water.  I didn’t want my sangria overly sweet so I didn’t add as much sugar as most people probably would.  There are a million ways to make sangria so just experiment!

I poured the blackberries through a strainer a few times to catch all the chunks of fruit left.

Pour the blackberry simple syrup into a pitcher or container and add your wine.  I used Sutter Home’s Sweet Red Wine.

  • 1/2 cup Blackberry Vodka (such as Pinnacle)
  • orange slices, lime slices, and/or fresh blackberries

Instructions

  1. Place 1 cup blackberries, water, and sugar in small saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, simmer about 10-15 minutes or until blackberries are very soft.
  2. Strain liquid several times and discard fruit. Pour into pitcher. Add wine and vodka. Add orange slices, lime slices, and blackberries as desired. Cover and refrigerate at least a few hours but overnight is desired.
  3. Serve over ice and garnish with additional fruit as desired.

Recipe Notes

SNAPPY TIPS: Adjust fruit, sugar, and wine as desired for personal taste. I used 1 orange (sliced), 1 lime (sliced), and about 1 cup of additional blackberries for the sangria before refrigerating.

SNAPPY SUBSTITUTIONS: Substitute extra orange or lime for the other.

  1. Tracie, our local Total Wine has had it, although I haven’t gotten it in a while. Looks like the Pinnacle website has a store locator you may want to try or some stores will order for you.

  2. We used another flavor vodka because we couldn’t find Blackberry…but I’d love to know WHERE people do find the Pinnacle Blackberry Vodka!?!

  5. Hello! Will a dry red wine work as well? And plain vodka? I am just thinking of what I have in the house now haha.

    THanks in advance!

  6. We were finally getting some warmer weather and then it got cold again. I’m going to have to make this and wish for sunny days. Luckily the weekend is right around the corner :D

  8. Absolutely love love love this sangria! We add about 1/3 club soda when serving. So refreshing! Unfortunately, cannot find Blackberry Vodka locally so have been using Grays Peak Mountain Berry and Flip Flop Sweet Red for the wine. Has become a favorite year round!

  13. I’m sure it would work, but don’t think it would taste as good. I think the blackberries just go better with wine, but just my personal taste and opinion.

  15. HI Lori! Glad to hear you enjoyed! I actually have a recipe for Peach Sangria Slushies on my site if that’s something you might be interested in.

  16. Made this yesterday, having it today. It’s amazing!!! Need to make a white peach sangria. Any suggestions on what to use?

  27. DAng it ~ now I want 0ne so much I will have to run out for blackberries! Thanks fo rhte great recipe!
