This is what Isabel says about her Sparkling Strawberry Sangria:

This recipe for Sparkling Strawberry Sangria is a much lighter version than the traditional Portuguese sangria. It’s perfect for a fun afternoon and it pairs perfectly with anything chocolate.

Ingredients:

6 Florida Strawberries, sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
4 mint leaves (chocolate mint leaves if you can find them) , chopped fine
1 small bottle(375 ml) of sparkling red wine or champagne (I used Rosa Regale and it was fantastic) 1 cup ginger ale
1 cup vodka
1 lime sliced thin
Mint leaves for garnish
Additional Florida Strawberries for garnish

Method:

Combine the sliced Florida Strawberries, sugar and 4 chopped mint leaves in a pitcher.

Gently stir and let sit in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.

Add the sparkling wine, ginger ale, vodka and 4 slices of lime.

Using a wooden spoon still until well blended.

Chill or add ice and serve cold.

Garnish with additional Florida Strawberries, mint or lime slices.
