Aside from the profusion of pies, cobblers, squares, crisps, shortcakes, and the like, a mixed berry sangria is a delightful way to celebrate the season at a brunch or any al fresco occasion.
Very like a berry sauce, this concoction depends a great deal on what you like, but a simple template will give the idea and get you started. A large glass pitcher is ideal. You’ll be able to see everything, and it will keep the sangria from looking too much like punch. It only takes a few minutes.
Add ice if you like, but remember it will dilute the sangria, especially if it sits for too long.
