In a large pitcher, combine the strawberries, raspberries, orange slices, and lemon slices. If your fruit isn’t very sweet or you like a sweet sangria, add the sugar. Pour in the brandy and orange liqueur and stir to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
Add the rose wine. Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Serve over ice with a splash of sparkling water and fresh mint.
Notes
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 this drink mix well with most alcohol.
