There’s nothing quite like a jug of sangria glistening in the sunshine, and this Rosé Sangria is my ultimate summer pick-me-up. Light, fruity, and bursting with fresh berries and grapefruit, it’s the kind of drink that makes friends linger a little longer around the table and turns ordinary evenings into small celebrations. Quick to put together, it’s perfect for those lazy summer afternoons or impromptu get-togethers.
The secret to making this sangria so special is all in the mix. A good-quality dry rosé forms the base, giving the drink a crisp, refreshing flavor that pairs beautifully with juicy summer berries. Then a splash of brandy and raspberry liqueur adds a touch of warmth and depth, lifting every sip from simple to slightly indulgent. Chilled for just an hour, the flavors meld beautifully, making the fruit and wine sing together – like summer itself in a glass.
I love serving this over ice with a generous helping of berries and a fresh mint sprig, not just because it looks stunning, but because it makes every sip feel extra special. The grapefruit adds a hint of tangy brightness, balancing the sweetness from the berries and liqueur. It’s a drink that’s easy to prepare ahead of time but impressive enough that everyone will think you’ve spent hours crafting it.
Whether you’re hosting a garden brunch, a sunset patio gathering, or simply enjoying a quiet evening with your favorite book, this Rosé Sangria is summer in a glass. It’s fun, lighthearted, and perfect for celebrating the season with friends, family, or just a little slice of sunshine for yourself.
