What’s in Homemade Rosé Sangria?

Rosé, fruits, orange juice, and more are mixed together to create a seriously sunny drink!

Rosé Wine: Try to find a good middle-of-the-road bottle of rosé. While you don’t need something from the top shelf, anything that’s too cheap will yield nothing but a headache!
Orange Juice: You can go with or without pulp, whichever you prefer.
Cointreau: You can use Triple Sec instead if preferred.
Simple Syrup: You can always make your own by combining equal parts water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Lemon: It’ll need to be thinly sliced.
Strawberries: Have any leftover? Use them to make my favorite Strawberry Jello Pie!
Raspberries: You’ll know your raspberries are ripe if they’re deep red in color and delightfully plump.
Peaches: They’ll need to be peeled and sliced. No one wants fuzzy peach skin in their drink!
Soda Water: This neutral ingredient helps to balance out all of the other bold ingredients.
Ice

Pro Tip: Make sure all of your fruit is fresh and not frozen for the best flavor. Plus, fresh fruit is an excellent garnish!

Variations on Summer Rosé Sangria

I don’t recommend straying too far from the path here when it comes to the amount of rosé and Cointreau. They’re both measured to be the perfect amount of alcohol without overpowering the fruits. However, you can always cut back or add more if desired. If you’re not a rosé fan at all, you can use white wine instead.

If you do want to get a little creative, feel free to play around with what fruits you choose to use! To complement the bright pink hue of the rosé, I like to use peaches, strawberries, raspberries and lemons as they’re all in the same color family of bright pinks, oranges, and yellows. It looks like sunshine in a pitcher! You can always toss in some pineapple chunks or orange slices to enhance that look and fruity flavor even more.

Is this sangria sweet?

Yes, this is a pretty sweet sangria. For a less sweet version, use a dry rosé and omit the simple syrup.

How far in advance can I make this sangria?

Make this sangria up to 8 hours ahead of serving! The longer it chills, the more flavor it will have. Add the club soda immediately prior to serving so it stays bubbly.

What do I do with the fruit?

Once all the sangria’s been drunk, you’ll be left with plenty of rosé-soaked fruit. You can toss it, but you can always eat it, too!

How to Store Citrus Rosé Sangria

Make this sangria up to 8 hours ahead of serving! The longer it chills, the more flavor it will have. Add the club soda immediately prior to serving so it stays bubbly. Once the soda’s been added, I recommend enjoying it immediately and not storing it.

What to Serve with Peach Rosé Sangria

This boozy, fruity wine cocktail is perfect for serving at all kinds of summertime soirees! If you’re hosting friends over on a sunny afternoon, make sure they also enjoy a few bites to eat with some appetizers like whipped goat cheese bruschetta, mango salsa, or shrimp summer rolls.
