fresh rosé sangria recipe - featured image

A light, crisp, and refreshing rosé sangria infused with fresh fruit, perfect for brunch and easy to prepare in five simple steps.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml dry rosé wine (e.g., Whispering Angel or Miraval)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water, plain or lightly flavored
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 mandarins or clementines, peeled and segmented
  • 1 medium peach, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, adjust to taste)
  • A handful fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash all fresh fruit thoroughly. Hull and slice the strawberries into thin pieces. Peel the mandarins and separate into segments, removing any seeds. Slice the peach thinly for even infusion.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of rosé wine (750 ml). Add freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 tablespoons) and simple syrup (2 tablespoons). Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the sliced strawberries, mandarin segments, and peach slices into the rosé mixture. Lightly bruise the fresh mint leaves by clapping them between your hands and add them to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine flavors without breaking the fruit.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours, to allow the fruit flavors to meld with the rosé.
  5. Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) of sparkling water to the pitcher. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over. Garnish with extra mint or a slice of fruit if desired.

Notes

Taste the sangria before adding sparkling water; adjust sweetness with more simple syrup or brightness with lemon juice. Be gentle when stirring to avoid mushy fruit. Prepare a few hours ahead for best flavor. Use fresh fruit for best texture; frozen fruit may become watery. For lower alcohol, replace half the wine with sparkling water or use non-alcoholic rosé.
