What is in Rosé Sangria?
Rose wine sangria may have any combination of rose wine, fruit juice (such as orange or pineapple juice), sliced fresh fruit (such as apples, oranges, strawberries, or peaches), and sometimes brandy or other spirits. Some recipes may also include sweeteners such as sugar or honey, and carbonated water or soda for added fizz. The exact ingredients and ratios may vary depending on the recipe and personal preferences.
Our recipe is quite simple with just rosé wine, some berries and sparkling water to add some fizz. Lemon slice for garnish and it’s ready to serve. Simply fabulous!
What is the difference between Red and Rosé Wine sangria?
The main difference between rose and red sangria is the type of wine used as the base. Red sangria is typically made with a dry or semi-sweet red wine, while rose sangria is made with rosé wine.
Red sangria tends to have a deeper, richer flavor due to the use of red wine, and is often served with hearty, savory dishes. It may also contain stronger flavors such as cinnamon, brandy, or citrus fruits like orange and lemon.
Pink sangria, on the other hand, has a lighter, fruitier flavor profile that is often associated with summer drinking. It may contain sweeter fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or peaches, and is typically served chilled.
What is pink sangria made of? Pink sangria is just another name for Rosé Sangria. Pink Sangria uses rosé wine as its base, which gives it its distinctive pink color.
If you’re looking for a bold, robust drink to pair with a hearty meal, then red sangria may be the way to go. If you want a refreshing, light drink to enjoy on a warm day, then pink sangria, or white sangria, may be more up your alley.
White sangrias are also delicious and should be on your list of favorite group drinks. With white wine as the base, white sangria has a light flavor. Fruits that pair well with white sangria include citrus fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges, as well as peaches, pineapples, and melons.

How to Make Sangria
All Sangrias are all typically made with fresh fruits, sweeteners like sugar or honey, and sometimes carbonated water or soda for added fizz. The beauty of sangria is that it can be customized to suit your personal tastes, the event, theme or holiday you are serving it at.
Sangria is quite simple to make. Here are the general steps and a few ideas.
- Choose your wine: Select a wine that you enjoy drinking on its own and that will pair well with the fruits and other ingredients you plan to use. Popular choices include red wine, white wine, and rosé.
- Select your fruit: Choose fruits that are in season and that pair well with the type of wine you have selected. Some popular fruits for sangria include citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, berries like strawberries and raspberries, and tropical fruits like pineapples and mangoes.

Changing Up this Strawberry Rosé Sangria Recipe:
What does pink sangria taste like?
Pink sangria has a light and refreshing taste with fruity and floral notes. The rosé wine gives it a subtle wine flavor, which is complemented by the sweetness of the fruits and whatever fruit juices you may be using. Depending on the recipe, it may also have a slight tartness or sourness from citrus juice or fresh citrus fruits.
Here are some ideas for a tasty and refreshing twist on this Pink Sangria:
- Add more citrus: In addition to the lemon slice for garnish, you could also add some freshly squeezed orange juice or slices of lime to the mix for extra tang and flavor.
- Use a flavored simple syrup: Instead of granulated sugar, consider making a flavored simple syrup to sweeten your sangria. You could use ingredients like honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup, and infuse them with herbs like rosemary or basil for added depth of flavor.
- Incorporate other fruits: While strawberries and raspberries are a great base for rose sangria, you could also try adding other fruits like peaches, kiwi, or watermelon to the mix for a more complex flavor profile.
- Experiment with herbs and spices: In addition to rosemary or basil, you could try adding other herbs like mint or thyme to your sangria for a refreshing twist. You could also experiment with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to add warmth and complexity.
- Try different sparkling waters or tonics: While plain sparkling water or tonic works well in this recipe, you could also try flavored varieties like grapefruit or cucumber for a unique and unexpected twist.
Remember to taste and adjust your sangria as needed to suit your personal preferences.
