Raspberry Rosé Sangria Recipe Guide
#Raspberry Rose Sangria
Equipment
- Equipment Needed:
- Large pitcher
- Wooden spoon for stirring
- Cutting board and knife
- Measuring cups
- Citrus squeezer (optional)
Ingredients
- Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of Rosé wine 750ml
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 orange thinly sliced
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 1 cup orange juice freshly squeezed or store-bought
- 1/2 cup raspberry liqueur like Chambord
- 1 –2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup optional, depending on sweetness
- Club soda or sparkling water to top off (about 1/2 cup)
- Ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Step-by-Step Method:
- Prepare the Fruit
- Start by rinsing all the fresh fruits: raspberries, strawberries, orange, and lemon.
- Slice the strawberries into halves, and thinly slice the orange and lemon.
- Mix the Base
- In a large pitcher, combine the sliced fruit (orange, lemon, strawberries, and raspberries).
- Pour in the Rosé wine, orange juice, and raspberry liqueur. From my experience, using a fruity Rosé gives a sweeter and more refreshing flavor, but you can opt for a drier one if you prefer.
- Sweeten (If Desired)
- If you like your sangria sweeter, add in the honey or agave syrup at this stage. Stir well until it's fully dissolved. Based on my overall experience, I sometimes skip the sweeteners altogether if the fruits are already naturally sweet.
- Chill
- Cover the pitcher and let the sangria sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but ideally 4 hours. This allows the fruit to infuse into the wine, creating a more vibrant flavor.
- Serve
- Just before serving, give the sangria a good stir. Pour over ice cubes in glasses, and top off with a splash of club soda or sparkling water for a fizzy finish.
- Garnish & Enjoy
- Add extra slices of fruit or a few fresh raspberries on top of each glass for that final touch. Now it’s ready to enjoy!
- Variations:
- White Wine Version:
- If you’re not into Rosé, you can easily substitute with a crisp white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. This will create a lighter, more citrus-forward sangria.
- Low-Sugar Option:
- Skip the honey/agave syrup and go for a sugar-free orange juice. You can also swap the raspberry liqueur for a sugar-free version, or use a bit of raspberry-flavored sparkling water for a similar fruity taste without the sugar.
- Dietary Substitutions:
- Vegan-Friendly: Many wines aren’t vegan due to fining agents. Look for a vegan-certified Rosé (there are plenty out there!).
- Gluten-Free: Sangria is naturally gluten-free, but double-check that your wine and liqueur don’t contain any gluten additives.
- Berry Blast:
- You can add more types of berries such as blackberries, blueberries, or even pomegranate seeds for a more colorful, antioxidant-packed version

Tips and Troubleshooting:
- Taste Test: Before chilling, give the mixture a quick taste to check the sweetness and adjust as needed. If you prefer a tangier sangria, add a splash of lemon juice.
- Fruit Absorption: If your sangria sits too long (over 24 hours), the fruit might absorb too much alcohol and become mushy. In that case, add fresh slices right before serving.
- Keeping It Cold: If you’re serving at a party, keep the pitcher in an ice bucket or add frozen raspberries to the pitcher so they keep the drink chilled without diluting the flavor.
