A light, colorful, and easy-to-sip sangria featuring rosé wine and a medley of fresh red, white, and blue fruits, perfect for summer gatherings and festive occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry rosé wine
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1 fresh lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 fresh orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
  • 23 tablespoons simple syrup (optional)
  • A few sprigs fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit (10 minutes): Wash all berries, grapes, and citrus. Hull and slice strawberries thinly. Halve grapes and slice lemon and orange into thin rounds.
  2. Combine Fruits and Wine (5 minutes): In a large pitcher, add sliced strawberries, blueberries, halved grapes, lemon, and orange slices. Pour in the entire bottle of rosé wine (750 ml). Gently stir with a wooden spoon to combine without crushing the berries.
  3. Add Sweetness and Chill (at least 2 hours, ideally overnight): Stir in 2-3 tablespoons of simple syrup, adjusting sweetness to taste. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Add Sparkling Water and Mint (5 minutes before serving): Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) chilled sparkling water or club soda to the pitcher. Toss in a few fresh mint leaves and gently stir.
  5. Serve: Spoon some fruit into each glass, pour sangria over ice or frozen berries, and garnish with an extra sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Use frozen berries instead of ice cubes to keep the sangria chilled without watering it down. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste or omit for a lower sugar version. Add sparkling water just before serving to maintain fizz. Let sangria chill for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor infusion.
