Introduction
Sangria is one of Spain’s most culturally curious drinks. Visitors to the country love to drink it, but most locals would never order it at a bar! Sangria is Spanish at heart, but the modern versions come from the U.S. More than likely, you’ll only find inferior versions at most bars to please the tourists.
That being said, a good sangria is delicious, and is the perfect cold cocktail to enjoy in the summer sun. Many Spaniards will whip up some sort of wine punch for their family barbecues, using all kinds of wine. My favorite is made with rosé wine, giving the cocktail a delightfully fruity flavor and a beautiful ruby color!
Ingredients
Wondering what you need to make a refreshing pitcher of this rosé sangria? Grab these key ingredients and you’ll be ready to go!
- Rosé Wine: For the best results, always use a wine that you would be happy to drink by itself.
- Gin: I love the sourness you get from adding a bit of gin, but feel free to use vodka for a more muted taste.
- Fruit: I love using a mixture of fresh strawberries and raspberries for a lovely fruity flavor.
- Sparkling Water: This adds a bit of sparkle and bubbles to the sangria–which is a wonderful finishing touch.
