Red White and Blue Sangria
Report
This Red White and Blue Sangria combines dry white wine and calvados with fresh apples, blueberries, and watermelon cut into star shapes for a festive drink. The addition of a honey simple syrup brings subtle sweetness, while the sparkling water adds effervescence just before serving. The chilled fruit infuses the beverage with natural flavors, making it visually appealing as well as refreshing.
Description
The Red White and Blue Sangria blends a bottled dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc with apple brandy (calvados), fresh green apples, blueberries, and watermelon slices shaped like stars. Honey and water are cooked together to create a simple syrup that sweetens the mix. After combining the spirits, syrup, and wine in a pitcher, star-shaped pieces of fruit are added and the sangria is refrigerated for several hours to meld flavors and chill. Sparkling water and star-shaped ice cubes are added at serving to introduce carbonation and maintain the cold temperature.

- 2 green apples
- 1 ½ cups blueberries
