Berry Rose Sangria is sure to become your favourite Summer Patio sipper. Sweet, but not too sweet and full of ripe summer berries and a hint of berry liqueur. Add in your favourite chilled Rosé and soak up that summer sun!
In Spain, it’s traditional to have Sangria with tiny appetizers or tapas. Of course, it’s always a great idea to have a snack while drinking alcohol in the sun! I love to serve this Rose Sangria with Fresh Strawberry Basil Crostini or Homemade Creamy Whipped Feta.
Berry Rose Sangria
There is nothing like a cool glass of Rose Sangria in the summer sun. This super refreshing summer cocktail is easy to whip up the morning or night before your next patio session. Store the berry base in the fridge, then mix with a chilled bottle of rosé just before serving. The recipe says ‘serves 4’ but you do you.
Sangria is bound to become your patio drink of choice this summer. It’s delicious, refreshing, and is a great way to keep a crowd hydrated for a relatively small price tag. Let me know when you’re coming over and I’ll mix up a pitcher full of this stunning Berry Rose Sangria…

What is Sangria?
This thirst quenching chilled summer beverage is of unknown origin but highly regarded today as being Spanish. Traditionally, it is made using red wine (ususally Rioja), sweetened with sugar and sometimes orange juice. Sometimes sweet liqueur, brandy, or sparkling water.
Real Sangria should be made with a sweetened wine (no stronger that 12 % ABV) with the addition of local fruits such as peaches, pears, nectarines, berries, or apples.
The Sangria Law
This thirst quenching chilled summer beverage is of unknown origin but highly regarded today as being Spanish. This origin has been reinforced under the European Union Law which states that only Sangria for purchase originating in Spain or Portugal may be labelled as ‘Sangria’.

Other countries that sell Sangria must include the origin prior to the word ‘Sangria’. This law also outlines a specific definition of what ingredients a Spanish or Portuguese Sangria should contain.
So Many Ways to Make Sangria
The first four letters spell out ‘Sang’ which is very similar to the Spanish word for blood; Sangre. While my Sangria in this post is made with Rosé, the traditional Sangria would be made with a red Spanish wine, most likely a Rioja. In the most traditional form, Sangria would then be blood red.

Most Sangria enthusiasts play fast and loose with the traditional style of Sangria. Ingredients range from a variety of fruits, rosé or white wines (use a dry white for Sangria Blanca), brandy, sparkling water, and even flavoured liqueurs. When it comes to Sangria, you can live la vida loca!

How to Make Berry Rose Sangria
My Rose Sangria recipe requires a very weak simple syrup. To make simple syrup, add sugar and water together in a small pan. Bring the mixture up to a gentle simmer until the sugar is dissolved.
Once the syrup is off of the heat, add the fruit and lemon juice then allow to steep. After the berry syrup has cooled to room temperature add the Chambord or Creme de Cassis liqueur. You can store this mixture in the fridge for a few days or use it that evening.
To mix up the Sangria, combine the cooled berry mixture with your favourite chilled Rosé wine in a large pitcher. Stir to combine. Serve sangria with extra fresh raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries.
When we go camping I store the berry mixture in a mason jar and mix it by the glassful. It’s fabulous!

It’s been years since I have had sangria and I look forward to making it again with this recipe. I love the mason jar camping idea. And yes, I’ll do me -ha ha!
lol!!! My kinda girl!
Just the other day I found myself wondering why people post sangria recipes – after all, aren’t they all basically the same? Then you go and blow me out of the water by tying Chambord OR Creme de Cassis into a recipe?! I feel like I need to try them both. Add that to the use of rosé and you’ve got something delightfully unique. Cheers!
Traditionally, yes they are the same…but there’s a whole world of flavour out there. The sky’s the limit!
So great to make with 0.0 rose for a non-alcoholic version, thanks! Vibrant and delicious!
Great idea…this would be a great option for non alcoholic sangria. In place of the berry liqueur, maybe a simple syrup flavoured with berries?
So delicious, I love how fresh and easy this is on a hot day. A keeper for sure, thanks!
Wayyyy too refreshing! lol
I need Sangria! Now that the weather is heating up here, this would be the perfect patio party drink (hopefully one day soon). I love that you used a rose because there are so many amazing ones, and with the berries it’s summery perfection.
Yes, I noticed the perfect rose was on sale at our local liquor store…happy weekend sipping!
Yum, who doesn’t love a good sangria on a beautiful sunny day!
You betcha!! Thanks for stopping by Kristen.
Maybe we should all make your sangria and drink it over Zoom (and maybe have a Zoom hangover). A sangria date. It looks refreshing!
I’m down!! This weekend is supposed to be beautiful…perfect Sangria weather!
great idea to use up wine in the fridge! great for patio parties with myself!
LOL I guess I’ve never had leftover wine in the fridge but yes, leftovers would work well with this recipe.
Oh man — this looks amazing, Bernice! When this whole quarantine thing is over, I propose a backyard sangria party with the boys. Haha! Cheers!
Yes!! I’m down with that because you are the sangria queen!!
Oh nice! I haven’t had sangria in a long time because I find the red wine can sometimes be overpowering. This is such a pretty, lightened up version! Will be trying this for sure this summer.
What a great take on the classic sangria. I love the use of berries Bernice. It looks so refreshing and I bet it tastes just as great. I’m going to pin it to keep in mind for weekend entertaining this summer. Cheers!
This looks amazing!
Thank you Carissa 🙂
The Sangria looks delish and we make some every time we have a BBQ, but I love those sunglasses on the Sangria!
Oh I love sangria – it’s the perfect summer drink! Sounds like you had a nice visit with your sister!
I sure did! Wish she lived closer 🙂
I haven’t made a good sangria yet – I’ll have to try your recipe!
Damn I love a good sangria but I do not love it when the dog runs away 👍
How very beautiful ,
Sangria is my favourite patio drink. My mother in law has an amazing recipe that she makes every time we stop by in the summer. I love the berries in this recipe. It sounds delicious and looks very refreshing 🙂
