Strawberry Rosé Sangria

Sangrias are my favorite to serve when I have company over because they are so easy, and I can make them ahead of time. This strawberry rosé sangria hits the spot. It’s not too sweet and perfectly fruity. Strawberry recipes are so refreshing to enjoy outside on a warm spring or summer day.

Summer Strawberry Sangria

This bright sangria with lots of fruit balances sweet strawberries with crisp rosé wine and a splash of orange liqueur. Make it at least 4 hours ahead to let the flavors meld.

Notes

For the best flavor, use a dry Spanish rosé wine rather than a sweet one – this allows the natural fruit flavors to shine through.

A good sangria is surprisingly simple to make, but a few things make it great and make your guests want the recipe.

Make sure you choose a dry rosé. It’s light enough to bring out the fruit flavors but can also work well with the Cointreau. Don’t just toss everything in before serving. The fruit needs time to infuse, so make this ahead of time. As it sits, the fruit slowly releases its flavors into the wine, creating something that tastes intentional and balanced.

Kitchen Wisdom

Don’t throw away those wine-soaked fruits at the bottom of your pitcher. They’re perfect for a quick summer dessert. Spoon them over vanilla ice cream or pound cake.

Tips for Success

Add the club soda last – it will lose its bubbles if it’s mixed in too early.

Slice the oranges and lemon as thin as possible for a better flavor release.

Use fruit that’s ripe but still firm.

Chill everything well before combining.

Ingredients and Equipment

Rosé Wine: Choose a dry Spanish rosé – avoid anything labeled “sweet”.

Cointreau: Adds depth, but Triple Sec works too.

Fresh Strawberries: The riper, the better.

Glass Pitcher: Must be glass – plastic can affect the taste.
