A light, fruity, and easy-to-make sangria perfect for summer gatherings, combining fresh strawberries, crisp rosé, citrus, and a splash of sparkling water.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry, crisp rosé wine (e.g., Whispering Angel or Miraval)
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced (organic if possible)
  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
  • A handful fresh mint leaves, lightly bruised
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda, added before serving
  • 2 tablespoons simple syrup or honey (optional)
  • 1 small peach or nectarine, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, hull, and slice into halves or quarters depending on size. Thinly slice orange and lemon, removing any seeds. If using peach or nectarine, slice thinly as well. Set aside.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine sliced strawberries, citrus slices, and optional stone fruit. Add simple syrup or honey if desired. Gently toss or stir to coat fruit evenly. Let sit for about 5 minutes to macerate.
  3. Pour the entire bottle of chilled rosé over the fruit mixture. Stir gently to combine without smashing the fruit.
  4. Lightly bruise mint leaves by clapping between palms or squeezing gently, then add to the pitcher. Stir once more to distribute aroma.
  5. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. If short on time, 30 minutes is acceptable.
  6. Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda for fizz. Stir gently and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more simple syrup or honey.
  7. Serve over ice cubes in glasses, including some fruit slices. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a strawberry on the rim.

Notes

Do not add sparkling water too early to preserve fizz. Bruise mint leaves gently to avoid bitterness. Chill sangria for at least 1 hour for best flavor. Add sparkling water and ice just before serving. Avoid overfilling glasses with ice to prevent dilution.
