We enjoy its thirst-quenching, refreshing qualities all summer long, and like to do all we can to support our local vignerons!
Husband recently decided that we should try to make Sangria with rosé instead of red so I happily mixed up this concoction late this morning and left it to sit and infuse in the fridge for a few hours. At lunchtime we poured ourselves a couple of icy cold glasses to taste.
What a wonderful flavor!
Tangy, not too sweet, invigorating and delicious. I'm so happy with the results!

- 2 lemons, cut into pieces
- 1 orange, cut into pieces

Sounds dangerously good.
One summer on the island of Majorca, the barman at the hotel made a great sangria mixing Grand-Marnier (or cointrau) with the usual ingredients... Spacedlaw is right ; yours looks dangerously good.
I'm thirsty! I really like sangria made with rose. We recently made 40 l of sangria, and things I learned from our chief sangria maker were:
- use cane syrup instead of sugar, no problem with getting it to dissolve
- we added both Cointreau and orange curacao!
- to my surprise, half a bottle of gin added a certain je ne sais quoi -- it basically gives it a hint of juniper flavour.
- we also infused some vanilla briefly.
Mmm, I like Sangria made with Rosé...I'll try your recipe.
ahh yes. love it - with the rosé it can only be amazingly refreshing.
That looks so refreshing! We made some sangria a few weeks ago with the leftover fruit salad from our 4th of July picnic. One batch was with white and one with rosé - either way, the fruit really packed a punch at the end of the day! :)

exactly! :)

I thought about adding Cointreau, but it was fantastic without it.
Maybe next time!

40 liters! Wow.
Cane syrup would definitely save some time. I thought about making simple syrup, but the sugar dissolved quickly, so it wasn't necessary.
My husband like the gin idea. We might try that in the future. Thanks for the tips!
