A drink for a hot summer day: Oregon Berry and Peach Sangria


OREGON BERRY AND PEACH SANGRIA
From the Oregon Raspberry & Blackberry Commission
Serves 6

A deliciously fruity and refreshing summer beverage best enjoyed from large wine glasses, filled with ice and garnished with fruit.

750 ml (about 3 cups) dry red table wine, such as a Burgundy
1/2 cup orange juice, or juice of 2 large oranges
1/3 cup lemon juice, or juice of one large lemon
1/3 cup sugar
3 Tbsp brandy (optional)
1 cup raspberries or blackberries, fresh or frozen
2 peaches, quartered and sliced
12 oz (1 1/2 cups) club soda or sparking mineral water
Ice

In a punch bowl or 2 1/2 quart pitcher, stir together first 5 ingredients. When sugar is dissolved, add berries and refrigerate 2-3 hours to allow flavors to mingle. About 1 hour before serving, add peaches. Add soda/mineral water to sangria just before serving. Pour into glasses filled with ice. Garnish with berries and fruit slices.

I made a mean white sangria the other day with fresh peaches from Sauvie's Island. Here is the link to the recipe from the Epicurious website: http://www.epicurious.com/drinking/drink_views/views/200531

I'll try your red wine/berry recipe this weekend, after the next round of berry picking!
