Tasting Notes

This Grapefruit Berry Rosé Sangria is crisp, fruity, and just a little tart. The rosé brings a light base with hints of red fruit. Cointreau adds a subtle orange flavor that blends well with the grapefruit juice. The citrus gives the drink a bright edge, while the mix of strawberries, raspberries, and blood orange adds natural sweetness and depth. It’s refreshing and not too sweet, with a balance that lets the fruit and wine shine. Each sip is cool and smooth, with little bursts of berry and citrus. It’s great for warm weather or when you want something light but full of flavor.

Equipment and Glassware

You’ll need a large pitcher or mixing jug to build the sangria. A wooden spoon or long stirrer will help mix everything gently without crushing the fruit. A citrus juicer is helpful if you’re using fresh grapefruit juice. You may want a strainer if you prefer a cleaner pour when serving. For glassware, use stemless wine glasses, large tumblers, or mason jars they leave room for both the liquid and the fruit. Keep the glasses simple, since the fruit already gives the drink a good amount of color and visual appeal.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle rosé wine
• 4 oz Cointreau
• 4 oz grapefruit juice
• 1 blood orange, thinly sliced

Instructions

• Stir gently to combine.

Pro Tips

• Use a dry or semi-dry rosé to keep the sangria from being too sweet.
• Chill all ingredients before mixing to save fridge time.
• Slice fruit thinly so it releases flavor faster.
• Use fresh grapefruit juice for a sharper taste.
• Let it sit at least 2 hours to let the flavors mix.
• Add club soda or sparkling water right before serving if you want some fizz.
• Freeze extra berries to use as ice cubes.
• Stir gently to avoid breaking down the fruit too much.
