    This rose sangria recipe embodies summer with its delightful color, light and refreshing taste, and pop of sweetness from the fresh fruit. It’s the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness and is easy to make a large pitcher. Great for entertaining or just as a summer afternoon sipper, this sweet and boozy punch is perfect for any occasion.

    It is so easy to make with a handful of ingredients. All you have to do is add the fruit and booze to a pitcher and stir! Top with mint and sparkling water before serving, and you’ve got a refreshing cocktail! Try my classic mojito recipe, cucumber martini recipe, or Aperol spritz recipe.

    What You Need to Make This Recipe

    Ingredients needed to make rose sangria.

    Fresh fruit — I use a combination of strawberries, raspberries, orange slices, and lemon slices, but feel free to use what’s in season.

    Sugar — add two tablespoons of sugar for a sweeter sangria or if your fruit is not as sweet as you prefer.

    Brandy — brandy has a fruity and subtly sweet taste that complements the fresh fruit in this sangria.

    Orange liqueur — just like the brandy, the orange liqueur has a sweet taste but with a strong orange flavor.

    Rosé — while classic sangria uses red wine, rose sangria uses rosé wine. While I prefer using a crisp, dry rosé as it balances out the sweetness from the other ingredients, you can use your favorite rosé.

    Sparkling water — for that classic bubbly texture, finish off your sangria with sparkling water. You can also use club soda if you prefer.

    How to Make Rose Sangria

    1. Cut the citrus into slices. Combine the strawberries, raspberries, orange slices, and lemon slices in a large pitcher. Add in sugar if using.

    2. Pour in the brandy and orange liqueur and stir to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.

    3. Add the rosé wine. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.

    4. Serve over ice with a splash of sparkling water and fresh mint.

    Pro Tips for Making This Recipe

    • Don’t let the fruit go to waste. Serve rose sangria with some skewers so your guests can enjoy the boozy fruit.
    • Do not add the sparkling water to the rose sangria until ready to serve. The sparkling water will lose its bubbles if you add it ahead of time.
    • As the fruit soaks in the alcohol, make sure to give them a rinse before using. Adding the fruit to a large bowl of water will make removing any stems, debris, and surface dirt easier as they float to the top of the water.
    • You can swap for gin, rum, or vodka if you do not have brandy. The flavors of sangria mix well with most alcohol.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen berries?

    While I like fresh berries for this rose sangria recipe as they hold their shape better, you can substitute frozen berries in a pinch.

    Can I make this ahead of time?

    While the sangria requires time to chill, I don’t recommend making this too much in advance. For the best results, do not make sangria more than a day in advance, as the fruit will get soggy, lose its color, and start breaking down.

    Can I use different fruit?

    For sure! Try using blood oranges, peaches, lime, blueberries, cherries, pears, blackberries, watermelon, or whatever fruit is in season.
