This Rosé Sangria gets an extra pop of flavor from some strawberries and a vanilla bean making it a wonderful cocktail for a warm summer afternoon! It’s the ideal pitcher cocktail when you are serving drinks for a group.

Nothing says summer drink more than a nice chilled Rosé. And since one of my favorite things to do on a warm summer afternoon is to sit on the patio and drink wine with my friends, Rosé has become my drink of choice and it is truly becoming one of my favorite wines!  

I really love checking out all the different options – from light, pale pink to light red.  Each coming with its own unique flavor profile.  So, since I’ve been drinking so much Rosé lately it only seemed natural to come up with a sangria made from it!!

I personally prefer a drier Rosé so that’s what I choose when I make sangria, however, if you like something a little more fruity, that will work too.  There is no added sugar in this sangria, so regardless of what you choose, you shouldn’t have to worry about it getting too sweet.

How to make Rosé sangria

Making sangria is very easy! You just need a nice tall pitcher, some fruit and a good quality wine.

Slice the fruit: You want to keep the citrus slices pretty thin. I generally leave the orange slices in half-rounds but you can also cut them in quarters if you like.

Soak with fruit. Add your oranges, limes, strawberries and vanilla bean to the pitcher. Let them soak in the Cointreau for a few minutes.

Mix in the wine. Pour in the bottle of Rosé. Use your favorite as you’ll enjoy the sangria best this way. Stir the sangria and chill for at least an hour.

Top with bubbles. Let the sangria sit in the fridge for at least an hour. Top with sparkling water or club soda before serving.

The strawberries give this sangria a nice light, fruity taste, which makes it excellent for a summer picnic or patio party.  If you want to turn it into a “Rosé all Day” kind of day, I’d pick a really light-bodied Rosé for the sangria and move into something a little heavier, like a Rosé of Pinot Noir for dinner!!

What goes with sangria?

Well, really just about anything. Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink so I often serve it with small bites. Some ideas for your next cocktail hour include:

  • Balsamic-Glazed Melon, Proscuitto and Mozzarella Skewers
  • Roasted Tomato Ricotta Crostini
  • Or just create a beautiful cheeseboard

    My mouth is watering just reading about this gorgeous sangria! Love the strawberries but especially the addition of vanilla bean – I’m guessing it would bring a delicious, subtle warmth to the mix. I’m looking forward to lazy summer days to enjoy a glass of this with awesome friends.

    You had me at Rose! Hands down, Rose is one of my favorites. I love the twist of vanilla bean added in. That’s a first. Awesome!

      Thanks Mica! The vanilla bean does give it a nice twist, and it works in a white Rosé too!
