A delightfully delicious raspberry sangria excellent for a party or sipping on the patio on a sunny day! Try my mango ginger sangria or blood orange sangria next time.

All I needed was one day above 70 degrees to kickstart my summer recipe creativity. I began thinking of all the foods I wanted to grill, salads I wanted to throw together, and things I wanted to no-bake the minute I put on my shorts to go on a walk (because hot).

Yet, more than anything else, I wanted to start creating new cocktail recipes. Although I believe I have the ability to create a nice pitcher of sangria at home, I would never wager money on myself in a bar or function.

I’d look like Ted and Barney in that How I Met Your Mother episode when they try their hand at bartending and wind up with smashed liquor bottles and booze spilling over every surface.

No one likes to see excellent booze go to waste, and I would very certainly cost a business more money than I would earn.

Raspberries have been on my mind recently, and I believe it is because they are so brilliant and colorful, and it simply shouts warm weather to me.

In the spring and summer, I try to avoid dreary colors (I’m looking at you, black hoodies and grey shirts), and the same goes for my food and drink.

If what I’m consuming is all bright and sparkly, does that indicate I’ll be as well? Right. Bluebirdcafela.com’s Flawless Logic welcomes you.

I wanted to try a new dish that was basic but not monotonous.

I also wanted it to be simple to personalize depending on your tastes, since not everyone enjoys their sangria in the same way. Some want it to be as fruity as fruity can be, while others prefer it to be more dry. I like it both ways, so this is simple to change as required.

Therefore, please accept my Raspberry Ros Sangria!

What you need to make raspberry rosé sangria

You may use the following ingredients as the recipe’s foundation:

• A fruity ros or a dry ros. If you like a less sweet sangria, use drierros and leave out the raspberry simple syrup.
• Lemon lime drink or club soda. You may use club soda solely for the carbonation, or you can add a little of sweetness and flavor with lemon lime soda.
• Simple syrup, or leave it out entirely. This sangria is wonderful without it, but if you use a dryros and club soda, you may love the added taste and sweetness the syrup adds.

tl;dr: You’ll never know what you enjoy until you try it! It’s an excellent reason to create many batches for a party, marking each as dry, sweet, and sweetest, so you and your guests can sample them all and vote! That might be a very great (and tipsy) party game.

I invited my partner to be my model and taste tester, and he gladly agreed to both, completing his glass of sangria before I completed mine.

I believe it is fair to say that he was a fan.

Brightly colored clothes is advised when enjoying your sangria.

It’s completely optional, but definitely advised, to serve yours in adorable mason jars with striped straws.

Make a pitcher of this deliciously cheerful sangria, sit back, and enjoy.
