Strainer Remove seeds or pulp (optional)

Ingredients

Here’s my usual ingredient list:

1 bottle of rosé wine 750ml
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 cup sliced strawberries
1 orange thinly sliced
1/3 cup orange liqueur
1/4 cup sugar or simple syrup optional
2 cups lemon-lime soda or sparkling water
Ice for serving

Instructions

I begin by pouring the rosé wine into a clean pitcher. Then I add raspberries, sliced strawberries, and orange slices, mixing them in gently with a spoon.

If I’m using orange liqueur and sugar, I pour those in next and stir well to combine. I like to let the fruit and wine sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
This resting time helps all the flavors come together. Just before serving, I pour lemon-lime soda or sparkling water slowly into the mixture, so it stays fizzy.
Finally, I serve the sangria over glasses full of ice. I make sure to scoop some fruit into each glass for a balanced taste and an eye-catching look.

Notes

If I’m preparing the sangria ahead of time, I always wait to add the soda until just before serving. This keeps the drink fizzy and avoids flatness.

To make it less sweet, I use sparkling water and skip the extra sugar or syrup. For different flavors, I sometimes add slices of peach, watermelon, or a handful of blueberries.

I check the sweetness before adding more sugar. If you want a stronger taste, more orange liqueur or a bit of brandy can be used, but I only add a tablespoon at a time.

I keep leftovers chilled for up to one day, but the drink is best within a few hours after mixing. I avoid freezing the sangria, since it changes the texture of the fruit.

Always use fresh fruit when possible for the best result.

Tasting Notes

When I sip this Raspberry Rosé Sangria, I first notice a gentle, fruity aroma. The scent of raspberries stands out, mixed with a hint of orange from the added citrus slices.

The first taste is bright and a little sweet. The rosé wine is light, and the raspberry flavor is clear but not overpowering.

I can taste touches of lemon and orange that add some tartness. I notice a slight sparkle from the soda, which feels refreshing.

The mix of fruits gives a balance between sweet and sour. It’s not too sugary, and I don’t taste any bitterness.

Flavors I taste:

Raspberry: light, sweet
Rosé wine: mild, fruity
Citrus: soft, tangy
Soda: crisp, bubbly

I think this sangria feels easy to drink, cool, and fruity. It’s smooth and doesn’t feel heavy at all.
