What Is Strawberry Sangria?
Traditional Spanish Sangria is made by combining red wine, brandy, and fresh fruit. Strawberry Sangria is a fizzy, strawberry-filled twist on the classic red Sangria. Still or sparkling rosé wine takes the place of red wine, and triple sec (or orange liqueur) stands in for brandy. (You can also substitute a dry white wine—such as sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio—for rosé.) A quick, easy, homemade strawberry syrup takes this summer drink to the next level. A garnish of fresh strawberries, lime slices, and fresh mint leaves is the perfect way to top off this fruity concoction. All the ingredients come together in one large pitcher, making it perfect for your next summer party.
