Ingredients

Strawberry Syrup (Serve Chilled):

• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar or 1/3 cup honey
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Sangria Base (Cocktail or Mocktail):

• 3 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup raspberries
• 1 orange, halved and sliced
• Juice of 1 orange (about 1/4 cup)
• Strawberry syrup, to taste

Choose One:

• 1 bottle sparkling rosé or white wine (750 mL)
• 1 bottle non-alcoholic sparkling rosé (750 mL)

Instructions

Strawberry Syrup (Make First):

1. Add the strawberries, sugar (or honey), water, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the mixture slightly thickens.
3. Mash the strawberries with a fork or potato masher.
4. Optional: For a smoother syrup, strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much syrup as possible.
5. Refrigerate the syrup until completely chilled, preferably overnight.

Sangria (Cocktail or Mocktail):

1. Add the sliced strawberries, raspberries, orange slices, orange juice, and strawberry syrup to a large pitcher.
2. Stir gently to combine.
3. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
4. Just before serving, slowly pour in the sparkling rosé, white wine, or non-alcoholic sparkling rosé, and stir gently.
5. Serve chilled over ice.

Mocktail Variation Ideas

If you’re skipping alcohol or serving a mixed crowd, here are easy ways to customize the mocktail version:

• NA Rosé + Sparkling Water: Use half NA sparkling rosé and half sparkling water for a lighter, less sweet drink.
• Citrus Boost: Add a splash of grapefruit or blood orange juice.
• Herbal Twist: Muddle fresh basil, mint, or rosemary into the pitcher before chilling.
• Berry Swap: Add blackberries or blueberries for deeper color and flavor.
• Single-Serve Mocktail: Build in a glass with ice, fruit, strawberry syrup, and top with NA sparkling rosé.

Tips for Best Flavor

• Add sparkling wine or NA rosé just before serving to keep it bubbly.
• Taste after chilling and adjust sweetness as needed — NA wines vary.
• A dry rosé keeps the drink refreshing and balanced.
