What wine is good for sangria?

This recipe calls for a dry rosé; it works so much better with fresh fruit. A sweet rosé could clash with the added fruit and liqueurs.

What fruit is best for this sangria recipe?

This is one calls for grapefruit, strawberries, and peaches, but almost any fruit works! Plums and mixed berries are also delicious. The main flavor profiles in this recipe are rosé and grapefruit, so any fruit that you think would be delicious with that, add them in.

Can you use fresh or frozen fruit?

Yes, both fresh and frozen fruit work equally well!

Ingredients

1 bottle dry rose wine
3 ounces Giffard Grapefruit Liqueur
2 ounces Aperol
2 ounces simple syrup
Juice from 1 grapefruit
2 cups sliced strawberries
2 peaches cut into wedges
1 grapefruit thinly sliced and halved

Instructions

1. Start by adding chilled rosé to a pitcher filled with ice.

2. Then add in the grapefruit juice, the liqueurs, and simple syrup.

3. Next add in the fruit and stir. Chill 1 hour or serve immediately.

4. Garnish with more fruit and mint.

Notes

Use a dry and crisp rosé. I love the ones from France because they are reasonable and not sweet, but any dry rose will do!
Use chilled rosé; this just helps the sangria start if cold.
Don't skip or substitute the grapefruit liqueur, but you can switch out the Aperol for any orange liqueur.
If you don't want to make a full pitcher, I've made this by the glass by pairing this recipe down to 5 oz wine, 1 oz grapefruit liqueur, 1/2 oz Aperol, and sprinkling in some frozen fruit.
