This light, refreshing, and simple Rosé Sangria is perfect for sipping on a toasty summer afternoon. The bright ruby-red hue is compliments of starting with a nice pink rose wine, and then soaking strawberries in it.

The berries lend their delicious juices – and their gorgeous color – to the drink. Lime adds a zesty bite, rum gives it a bit more potency, and lemon-lime soda mellows the whole thing out and makes it entirely too drinkable.

The Story Behind the Recipe

I have to wonder if my family is a little worried about me. At just about every family gathering for the last six months or more, I’ve had some sort of new sangria for them to test. I toted jars of it over to my niece’s birthday party. I broke it out it after dinner at a Mother’s Day gathering. I hadn’t gotten around to making a dessert, but sangria? Of course I did.

I guess sangria appeals to me on all levels. It lends itself to endless variations, which appeals to the food blogger in me. It’s delicious and sweet, which appeals to the glutton in me. And it’s boozy, which appeals to the lush in me.

So I guess I’m the family lush. But hey, at least I share.

Ingredients for Rosé Sangria

Seriously – five ingredients. Well, plus ice. So easy to put together, even easier to enjoy. And totally worth earning a bad reputation with your family (who, by the way, loved this version).

  • Rosé wine – I like rosé of Sangiovese for this rosé sangria.
  • Rum – Go for a light/white rum.
  • Strawberries – Fresh strawberries are the fruit in this rosé sangria. So good!
  • Limes – For a tart, refreshing note.
  • Lemon lime soda – Like Sprite or 7-up. Ginger ale works too, or for a less sweet version, you can try club soda.

How to Make It

It’s so easy! Just add the limes and strawberries to a pitcher, then pour the wine and rum over the top. Cover and place in the fridge for 4-24 hours.

Remove from the fridge, add the lemon-lime soda, then serve over ice. Yum!

The Best Rosé for Rosé Sangria

After sipping tongue-puckering versions in the past, I thought I hated rose wine – then I tried a Washington State Rosé of Sangiovese on a 100-degree summer day. Oh, mama! Rosé wines have come a long way. Think of the good ones as lighter, summery versions of your favorite red wines.

I LOVE rosé of Sangiovese in rose sangria or another not-too-dry rosé.
