Serving Size

Equipment

Large pitcher (64 oz capacity)

Ingredients

1 bottle 750ml dry white wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
2 cups lavender simple syrup
1 cup fresh lemon juice about 6-8 lemons

1 cup cold water
2 lemons sliced
2 peaches sliced
1 cup fresh blueberries
Fresh lavender sprigs for garnish
Ice for serving

Instructions

Pour the white wine into a large pitcher.
Add the lavender simple syrup and fresh lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

Add the cold water and stir again.
Place the sliced lemons, peaches, and blueberries into the pitcher.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours to let the flavors blend.

To serve, fill wine glasses with ice and pour the sangria over top.
Garnish each glass with fresh fruit from the pitcher and a sprig of lavender.

Notes

The sangria can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Fresh fruit works best, but frozen peaches and blueberries can be used when fresh isn’t available.

For a stronger drink, add 1/2 cup vodka or light rum to the mixture.

To make an alcohol-free version, replace the wine with white grape juice or sparkling water.

The lavender flavor will get stronger over time, so taste and adjust the amount of syrup as needed.

Tasting Notes

This refreshing cocktail balances sweet and tart flavors. The lavender adds a light floral note that pairs well with the crisp white wine and bright citrus.

The first sip brings forward the sweet-tart lemonade, followed by subtle herbal lavender. The wine provides a smooth, mellow backdrop that ties everything together.

Flavor Profile:

Primary: Fresh lemon, sweet lavender
Secondary: White wine, honey notes
Finish: Clean, bright, slightly floral

The texture is light and bubbly from the sparkling wine. Each sip remains crisp and clean on the palate without being too sweet or too tart.

Food Pairings:

Light appetizers
Fresh fruit
Mild cheeses
Garden salads
Grilled chicken

The cocktail’s pale purple color and floating citrus slices make it visually appealing. Garnished with fresh lavender sprigs, it looks elegant in a wine glass or champagne flute.

The drink tastes best when served very cold. As it warms slightly, the lavender and wine notes become more pronounced while maintaining their balance with the lemonade.
