Fourth of July has come and gone, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy this patriotic summer sangria recipe. It's quite picturesque, what with the floating blueberries, raspberries and strawberries -- and the triple sec adds quite the kick.

Ingredients:
1 (750 ml) bottle white wine
3/4 cup triple sec
1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
1-2 (12 oz) cans lemon lime soda or ginger ale
Ice for serving

Directions:
In a large pitcher combine the wine, triple sec and fruit. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (it tastes better if it sits in the fridge for a while)
To serve: Pour the soda in the sangria and give it a little stir. Pour over ice into glasses. Spoon some of the fruit into the glass.

As summer starts to shift to fall, a crisply flavored apple/pear sangria is a great way to celebrate the changing seasons. This recipe comes loaded with lemons, which gives it an extra thirst-quenching boost.

Ingredients:
1 bottle Moscato wine
1/2 cup lemon liqueur (I used Caravella)
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from two lemons)
1 Granny Smith apple, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
1 Bartlett pear, cored, halved, and thinly sliced
1 can (12 ounces) seltzer

Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine wine, lemon liqueur, lemon zest, and sugar. Stir until sugar dissolves. Add lemon juice, apple slices, and pear slices and mix well. Place pitcher in refrigerator for 4 hours to chill and allow flavors to blend. Just before serving, top sangria off with seltzer. You can also strain sangria after chilling to remove lemon zest, if desired.
