What’s pink, pretty and packs a punch? This rosy riff on sangria, which is loaded with red and pink fruit for a festive, crowd-friendly treat. Be sure to plan ahead: The fruit needs to macerate for at least 4 hours to soak up the flavors and to soften. For the wine, choose a rosé that is neither too sweet nor too dry. It should taste good to you on its own, but since it will be mingling with juice, liquor and a whole lot of fruit, go with something inexpensive.

Cooking Notes

Try adding a little elderflower liquor to smooth the rose and add a pleasing note. Also, we skipped the sugar. Came out great.

Cointreau is a good substitute for triple sec

I forgot to pick up some triple sec from the liquor store before the Easter holiday. I used pineapple ciroq instead and it cured the fruit beautifully. I also mixed after 3.5ish hours opposed to the full four that’s suggested. It’s very refreshing

Delicious. Really needed more than 4 hours for flavors to meld. Next time will do it the night before.

Red or white vermouth makes a nice substitute for triple sec. I add meyer lemon slices to add more citrus flavor.

Does anyone else add carbonation to this? Call me inauthentic, I want my sangria with bubbles

I used sparkling rose and loved it

I had Grand Mariner on hand so used that instead of triple sec, and my guests and I thought that added a welcome complexity. I also think the pomegranate juice is important for the same reason. Do leave the fruit macerating for as long as you can (four hours worked but longer is better.) Best measure volume of pitcher you plan to use — my intent to halve the recipe would not have worked for my pitcher! Just before serving, stir sangria again to help distribute flavors. Delicious!

Soaked the fruit in triple sec overnight, did not add any sugar. Our guests really enjoyed this and I liked that I could make it entire ahead of time besides adding the two bottles of wine!

Very tasty and easy to make! I used oranges, gala apples, mango, and strawberries. We finished the pitcher in one sitting, lol. Can’t wait to make this again.

Always make sangria the night before! It tastes much better. Also, one can use less sugar if making the night prior as the sugar from the fruit naturally sweetens the sangria. We try not to use fruit that are too sour so we avoid the citrus.

I used raspberries, strawberries, grapefruit, apple - cointreau, limoncello, no sugar - plus the wine and juice Fabulous! Serve with a big slice of lime

Total keeper! I made with fresh local strawberries and sweet blueberries. Easy, delicious and looks lovely. Used a dry Provence rose.

Can you use Pama instead of pomegranate juice? Would that make it too strong?

I make our sangria without added sugar. The fruit produces plenty of natural sweetness (oranges, lemons, limes, blueberries, etc). That said, I do not care for sweet sangria (or sweet wine). I add at least a generous cup of gin or brandy--whichever is within reach. Our recipe always includes lemonade, TBSPs of lemon and of lime concentrate, and is refrigerated for 1 day at least. Poured over ice, imbibed on the spring/summer deck with loved ones... Nirvana or close. ab

Everyone loved it! It’s even better the next day.

Made this for the 4th of July and it was fantastic!

Splash blood orange and elderflower syrup… prob more like 3/4 cup triple sec

The sugar and triple sec weren't enough to cover the fruit to macerate. I added about 1/4 cup of the pomegranate juice and topped off with some of the rose so the fruit was covered. Delicious. We had this for Mother's Day late lunch/early dinner.
