Here is a great summer recipe using one of my favorite wines, a Rose! Try Rosa Regale. ☺
ROSÉ LAVENDER SANGRIA
Ingredients:
ROSÉ LAVENDER SANGRIAIngredients:
- 1 bottle Rosé wine
- 1 1/2 cup white cranberry juice
- 1 bottle club soda (If you like your Sangria or the sweeter side, replace soda by Ginger Ale!)
- 1 large orange
- 1 lemon
- 1 cup raspberries or strawberries
- Lavender syrup (1 cup sugar, 1 cup water, 2 tbsp dried lavender)
* For the lavender syrup, bring sugar and water to a boil in a saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir in dried lavender and remove from heat. Let cool completely and strain out lavender. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Directions:
- Make the lavender syrup (see instructions above).
- Cut orange and lemon in wedges.
- In a large pitcher, combine orange, lemon, wine, juice and half of the lavender syrup. Try it and add more lavender syrup to taste. (You can refrigerate the rest for up to a month).
- At this point, you can also add 2-3 shots of gin or triple sec.
- Mix everything together and refrigerate until cold. (It gets better the longer it’s macerated!)
- Pour mixture on ice and add berries.
- Top off with desired amount of soda just before serving!
Makes 1 large pitcher (+/- 6 glasses).
