What is a girlfriend’s Mexican Valentine luncheon without SANGRIA?!?
The last two years I have done a brunch, and had Mimosas.
This year I opted for Sangria.
I wish I could give you the measurements of the fruit, but I honestly just kind of added it!!
Note to self: Sangria is a summer drink for a reason, more fruit in season.
I did use a couple of frozen fruits, and I am pretty sure nobody else noticed!!
It was YUMMY!!
Yield: 1 pitcher
White Rose infused Sangria
Start with a rose simple syrup add fruit and wine and you have White Rose infused Sangria.
Prep Time 3 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Additional Time 1 days
Total Time 1 days 13 minutes
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup water
- the petals of 1 large rose ( mine was white…so was my wine…that’s where it got it’s name!)
- 2 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc Wine
- Fruit of choice: I used frozen peaches, frozen pitted red cherries, clementines, red grapes cut in half, halved strawberries, raspberries and pineapple.
Instructions
Over a medium heat, bring to boil the water sugar and petals.
Remove from heat and let petals steep for about 15 minutes.
Remove petals and set aside. You have just made a rose simple syrup.
Cut up fruit and place in an airtight container.
Pour wine and syrup over fruit.
Refrigerate for 24 hours.
Pour into a pitcher or punch bowl, before serving pour a can of ginger ale over the top to add a little bubble effect.

So pretty, and love your fruit choices!

Thanks, Joan. I have to tell you, I didn’t think I was going to like it. I tasted it the day I made it and it was really dry. I thought I might have to add sugar to it!! But after the fruit sat in it and sweetened it up, it was just right!!

I’m intrigued by the rose simple syrup. I’ve never heard of such a thing. My neighbor has roses, I’m going to use one of theirs. The Sangria sounds delicious.
