Tasting Notes

This Strawberry Lemonade Sangria is light, fruity, and easy to drink. The white wine gives it a crisp base, while the lemonade adds brightness and a touch of tang. The strawberry purée softens the acidity with a little sweetness and brings a juicy berry flavor. It’s smooth with a mellow kick from the wine, and the fresh fruit adds a bit of texture and color in each glass. Great for those who like wine spritzers or fruity punches without too much sugar. It’s fresh, chilled, and perfect for sipping without overthinking.

Equipment and Glassware

You don’t need much here. A large pitcher or drink dispenser works best for mixing and serving. Use a wooden spoon to stir everything together. A jigger helps for measuring the purée and lemonade if you’re scaling up or down. For serving, stemless wine glasses or highball glasses work well. A small knife and cutting board will help prep the garnish. Chill your pitcher ahead of time for better flavor. It’s simple, but if you’re serving a group, having a ladle can help portion things out cleanly.
