Ingredients
Wine and Liquids
- 1 bottle (750 ml) chilled rosé wine
- 1/2 cup strawberry liqueur or orange liqueur
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey or simple syrup
- 1 cup chilled sparkling water or lemon-lime soda
Fruit
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/2 orange, thinly sliced
- 1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
Other
- Ice, for serving
- Fresh mint, optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Fruit: Add the sliced strawberries, raspberries, orange slices, and lemon slices to a large pitcher to build the fresh fruity base of your sangria.
- Add Liquids: Pour in the chilled rosé wine, your choice of strawberry or orange liqueur, and fresh lemon juice into the pitcher with the fruit.
- Sweeten: Stir in the honey or simple syrup thoroughly until the sweetener is completely dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Infuse Flavors: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling period allows the fruit flavors to infuse deeply into the wine mixture.
- Serve: Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to add a pleasant fizz to the sangria.
- Present: Fill serving glasses with ice and pour the sangria over the ice. Garnish with additional fresh berries and sprigs of mint if desired for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- Use a dry or semi-dry rosé wine to balance the natural sweetness of the fruit and syrup.
- Add sparkling water only before serving to preserve the bubbly texture.
- Adjust sweetness by adding extra simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter sangria.
- Keep the sangria refrigerated and consume within 24 hours for the best freshness and flavor.
