Sparkling Rose Sangria with Strawberries Made Easy
Sparkling rosé sangria with strawberries is a low-effort, high-reward pitcher drink—light, bubbly, gently sweet, and bright with fresh strawberry and citrus.
Equipment
- Large pitcher (about 2 liters / 2 quarts)
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Long spoon
Ingredients
- 500 g fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
- 1 medium lemon well-scrubbed and thinly sliced (remove visible seeds)
- 750 ml dry rosé wine well-chilled
- 960 ml lemonade chilled (store-bought or homemade)
- 240 ml sparkling water or club soda well-chilled, for topping just before serving
- 30–60 ml simple syrup or agave nectar optional, to taste if lemonade is very tart
- ice cubes for serving
- extra strawberries and lemon slices optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Chill the base ingredients. If possible, place the rosé, lemonade, and sparkling water in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before mixing.
- Prep the strawberries. Rinse, pat dry, hull, and slice into roughly 0.5 cm / 1/4-inch slices.
- Slice the lemon. Scrub well, slice into thin rounds, and remove visible seeds (halve rounds if the lemon is large so they fit in the pitcher).
- Combine fruit in a pitcher. Add sliced strawberries and lemon to a large pitcher and lightly press once or twice with a long spoon to release a little juice (don’t mash).
- Add the rosé and lemonade. Pour chilled rosé over the fruit, followed by the lemonade. Stir gently to combine and distribute fruit.
- Taste and adjust sweetness. Taste a small sample; if needed, stir in 2 tbsp (30 ml) simple syrup or agave, then add up to 2 tbsp (30 ml) more only if needed.
- Let it chill and infuse. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (up to 4 hours) to infuse strawberry and lemon flavor.
- Add the sparkle just before serving. Gently stir to lift fruit, top with chilled sparkling water or club soda, and stir once or twice carefully to keep carbonation.
- Prepare the glasses. Fill wine glasses or tumblers about halfway with ice.
- Serve. Pour sangria over ice, ensuring each glass gets strawberry and lemon slices. Garnish with extra fruit if desired and serve immediately.
