What’s The Best Rosé Wine for Sangria?
Grenache, pinot noir, and Syrah are crisp and fruity rosé varieties that allow the flavors to shine through in this sangria recipe. However, if you prefer sweeter cocktails, go for your favorite sweet rosé.
How to Make Strawberry Rosé Sangria
This is a 3-step rose sangria! It doesn’t get much easier than this.
- Fill the pitcher. Add the raspberries, strawberries, orange slices, brandy and rose to a large pitcher. Stir the mixture several times to combine.
- Let it chill. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate it for at least 6 hours.
- Serve. Top with sparkling water. Pour over ice and garnish with more fruit and a sprig of mint
Recipe Tips & Variations
These tips and variations will take your strawberry rosé sangria to the next level with convenient ingredients swaps and more fruit:
- Add more fruit. Feel free to add 1-2 cups of sliced peaches or apples to give the sangria more natural sweetness.
- Use frozen fruit. No one’s going to tell if you use frozen fruit. In fact, it might help chill your drink and reduce the need for any ice.
- Use soda. If you don’t have sparkling lemon lime water on hand, feel free to use your favorite lime soda instead.
- Add ginger. Mixing in 2-3 tablespoons of roughly chopped ginger can add a bit of natural spiciness to the sangria.
Can I Make This Rosé Sangria in Advance?
Absolutely! Add all of the ingredients (except the sparkling water) to a large pitcher up to 2 days in advance. Refrigerate until ready to serve and pour in the sparkling water.

This is simply beautiful! I love the berry and jalapeno together as well – a very tasty combination!

I think there’s a little mixologist hiding inside you afterall, because WOWZA. I’m loving the berry and jalapeno combo – it looks so refreshing and just screams DRINK ME!

This is gorgeous, Krista! I bet the jalapeño gives it a really nice kick, and it sounds amazing with all of those delicious berries! I think you knocked your first cocktail outta the park. 😉
Yes it does. The first time I made it I used a whole jalapeno and it was way to much, over powered the fruit. But the half jalapeno is just right! 🙂 Thanks for the sweet comment Ashlyn! 🙂
I am a beer girl so I totally get what you mean when you say you aren’t a mixologist! I do, however love sangria! I hardly make it but will drink it whenever possible. The spicy/ sweet combo is phenomenal!

I absolutely love strawberry and jalapeno – the restaurant I used to work at had a salad with tons of berries and a fresh jalapeno on top – it was the best salad I had ever eaten, and I pretty much lived on it when it was on the menu. SO I know this is one sangria that I have to try!!
Ohh.. that salad sounds awesome. I totally need to try that at home!
Hope you like the sangria girl!
