No matter what type of gathering you’re hosting, a pitcher of sangria will make any party better. It’s light, easy to assemble, and even easier to drink, making it the perfect drink for hot weather. You can make sangria with virtually any type of wine and any type of fruit. In this version, we’ll focus on the best produce of spring and summer: strawberries.
Strawberries, mint, and lemon all combine to bring out the best in white wine. It’s slightly sour, slightly sweet, and very refreshing. And the strawberry flavor is the star of this sangria. Not only are sliced strawberries swimming in the glass, but there’s also strawberry mint syrup that dyes the sangria a beautiful pink color.
However, one of the MVPs of this recipe is St. Germain, a liqueur that everyone should have on their bar cart. This elderflower liqueur is often referred to as the “bartender’s ketchup” because it has a versatile, slightly floral flavor that makes almost any drink delicious. It has a delicate flavor that brings out the best of strawberries and mint. Once you take a sip, you’ll want to put Saint-Germain in everything. (Need some inspiration? Try it with a spritz.)
The best part about this sangria is that you can assemble the components ahead of time. Make the syrup and slice the fruit a day in advance, then make the sangria in a pitcher when you’re ready to serve. cheers!
