Scale
Liquid Ingredients
- 750 mL rosé wine (1 bottle, good middle-of-the-road bottle)
- 1 cup orange juice (with or without pulp)
- ½ cup Cointreau (or Triple Sec)
- ¼ cup simple syrup (equal parts water and sugar dissolved)
- 1 cup soda water
Fruit Ingredients
- 1 lemon (cut into thin slices)
- 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup peeled and sliced fresh peaches
Additional Ingredients
- Ice (for serving)
- Fresh berries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Mix the base liquids: In a large pitcher, combine the rosé wine, orange juice, Cointreau, and simple syrup. Stir well to blend all the flavors evenly.
- Add the fresh fruits: Incorporate the lemon slices, sliced strawberries, raspberries, and peeled and sliced peaches into the pitcher. Mix gently to distribute the fruit throughout the sangria.
- Chill the sangria: Cover the pitcher tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the fruit to infuse the mixture.
- Add soda water before serving: Once chilled and ready, remove the sangria from the refrigerator and stir in the soda water for a light fizz.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the sangria over ice in serving glasses and garnish with additional fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
- For a less sweet sangria, reduce the amount of simple syrup or omit it altogether.
- Customize the fruit based on seasonal availability or preference; citrus fruits like oranges or limes can be great additions.
- Prepare the sangria a few hours ahead to enhance the infusion of flavors, but avoid too long to keep the soda water fizzy and fresh.
- Use chilled rosé wine for best results in serving temperature.
- Simple syrup can be made in bulk and stored refrigerated for up to two weeks.
