Recipes: Jubilee Sangrita

Fruity, Summer Fun

This Fourth of July, celebrate our nation’s independence with a summery yet sophisticated twist on classic sangria. Forget the paper flag and metallic tinsel, this patriotic  punch is garnished with strawberries and blueberries for a chic red, white and blue effect. For more Fourth of July cocktail fun, try red, white and blue fruit purée cocktails and a red, white and “Sapphire” gin drink. This recipe was created by mixologist Darryl Robinson, of New York City’s Hudson Bar, using Combier triple sec. For more Combier recipes, take a look at our colorful Spring cocktail recipes. They may be pastel-colored, but they’re delicious all year-round!
