How to Make It

01

Add ice to your glass

Fill a wine glass or stemless glass with ice. Large cubes melt slower and keep dilution in check.

02

Pour the sangria

Add 4 oz of Armen's Barrel-Aged Blackberry Sangria over the ice.

03

Top with prosecco

Gently pour prosecco down the side of the glass to keep the bubbles alive.

04

Garnish and serve

Drop in 3–4 fresh blackberries and rest a sprig of mint on top. Serve immediately.

Bartender Notes

Why barrel-aged sangria?

Armen's Blackberry Sangria is aged in oak barrels, which adds a subtle vanilla and woodsy depth. That complexity is what makes this spritz taste like more than the sum of its parts.

Prosecco choice

Use a dry (Brut) prosecco. Avoid sweet sparkling wine — the sangria already has fruit-forward sweetness.

Make it a batch

Scale up easily for gatherings: mix sangria and prosecco 2:1 in a pitcher just before serving. Add fresh blackberries and mint to the pitcher.
