Why you’ll love this sangria with vodka recipe

There is something very English Summertime about the combination of fresh strawberries, elderflower liqueur, mint and rosé wine in this simple Strawberry Mint Sangria recipe.

Sangria may be a drink that you know you’ll have a good time drinking but something about it also feels like it would pair well with a fancy high tea. Fun, yet sophisticated.

All you need to make a super refreshing Strawberry Rosé Sangria!

Here’s what you need to make this Rosé Sangria:

Choose a rosé wine that is affordable (as you’re mixing it with things you don’t want a premium bottle) but also nice enough to drink by itself as it makes up most of the cocktail.

Go for something not too sweet (I like a rosé from Provence) as you’ll be adding sugar in the elderflower liqueur.

I like vodka here to add a bit of a kick but if you’d like to add a bit more flavor you can use gin instead.

St. Germain is my go-to elderflower liqueur as it adds sweetness and a beautiful floral flavor to so many of my favorite elderflower cocktails.

Regular sparkling water (I use club soda) is fine here, but you can use a strawberry-flavored one if you really want to amp up that berry flavor!

Instructions

Close up of strawberries, lemon slices and fresh mint at the bottle of a glass pitcher.

Step 1

Cut the stems off the strawberries, then slice in half. Slice the lemons, then slice in half.

Add the sliced strawberries, sliced lemons, and mint leaves to a pitcher.

Variations

  • Change up the fruit – orange slices would work well in place of the lemon, and any fresh fruit you’d ordinarily find in sangria or a Pimm’s Cup, as well as cucumber slices, would all be delicious here.
  • Change up the wine – this is a rosé sangria, but it would also taste delicious with a slightly sweet white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this sangria ahead?

Yes! You can make the sangria up to 6 hours in advance and keep it in the fridge. Just wait to add the sparkling water until just before serving to keep the bubbles!

How long will leftovers keep?

Leftover sangria? Well, okay I’ve never had that problem! But it will still be delicious the next day but I probably wouldn’t serve it to guests as the sparkling water will have gone mostly flat.

Can I make a lower alcohol version of this sangria?

Sure, just leave out the vodka.

What sort of glasses should I serve this sangria in?

I like to serve it in tumblers as they’re easier to eat the wine-infused fruit from afterward (it is not just me who does that, right??) but they’ll also look great served in big wine glasses. Browse all my favorite glassware.
