Our Canadian winter is feeling especially long this year, so I decided to take matters into my own hands and capture some sunshine in a cup! Today I’m sharing the recipe for my Grapefruit Rosé Sangria.
With a fresh, citrus taste, it’s the perfect cocktail to chase the winter blues away. And you’d better believe in a few short months, I’ll be enjoying it right here:
Patio season anyone? I can’t wait!
And neither should you… so let’s check out this Grapefruit Rosé Sangria recipe.
Grapefruit Rosé Sangria
Yields 1 pitcher
You’ll need:
- 1 750 ml bottle rosé wine, chilled
- 1 cup grapefruit vodka
- 2 grapefruits – 1 juiced, 1 sliced for garnish
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- Handful of strawberries, thinly sliced
- 5 dashes orange bitters
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (more if desired)
- 1 cup soda water, chilled
- Ice
Directions:
Combine the sliced grapefruit and lime in a pitcher and muddle for 30 seconds. Then add the sliced strawberries, grapefruit juice, rosé, vodka, orange bitters and simple syrup.
Good things come to those who wait, so I highly suggest covering the pitcher and refrigerating it for between 1 and 8 hours. This step isn’t necessary, but it will make for a more flavourful cocktail.
Right before serving, top off the pitcher with a cup of chilled soda water and stir to add a bit of fizz. Serve over ice and enjoy!
Simple syrup recipe
Boil equal parts sugar and water in a medium saucepan until the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool before using.
When making simple syrup for cocktails, I usually use one cup of water and one cup of sugar. The simple syrup can then be stored in the refrigerator for up to three weeks.
