Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (750 ml) bottle dry or off-dry rosé wine, chilled
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries hulled and sliced, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries; frozen berries work too)
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 24 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (to taste; agave or maple syrup are alternatives)
  • 1/4 cup orange liqueur (Cointreau, Grand Marnier, or Triple Sec; optional)
  • 2 tablespoons elderflower liqueur (St-Germain; optional)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda (lemon or berry flavored optional)
  • Ice (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Wash all berries thoroughly under cold running water. Hull and slice strawberries. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds, removing any seeds.
  2. Pour the chilled rosé wine into a large pitcher. Add orange liqueur and elderflower liqueur (if using). Stir gently.
  3. Add mixed berries, orange slices, and lemon slices to the pitcher.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey, then taste and add up to 2 more tablespoons if desired. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (up to 8 hours) to let flavors infuse. Overnight is even better.
  6. Just before serving, add sparkling water or club soda and plenty of ice. Stir gently.
  7. Scoop berries and citrus into glasses, pour sangria, and garnish with extra fruit or a sprig of mint if desired.

Notes

Chill all ingredients and equipment for the best flavor. Infuse for at least 1 hour for optimal taste. Adjust sweetness based on your wine and berries. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep it bubbly. For a crowd, double the recipe. Use frozen berries as ‘fruit ice cubes’ for extra chill and color.
