Sangria is one of those drinks that can make an ordinary Tuesday feel like a celebration. I usually order it as tapas restaurants, but it’s also really easy to make at home.
This is a really refreshing one. It’s perfect for holiday parties or summer barbecues. The sweet fragrance of the elderflower is such a nice complement to the dry rosé and acidic lemon.
The recipe is flexible – use whatever stone fruit you have lying around. Think anything with a pit: cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, or plums. If you don’t like elderflower liqueur or can’t find it, you could try raspberry, peach, or orange flavored liqueur. And if you’re feeling a little extra, you can throw in some fresh herbs like thyme or basil. The only thing I strongly recommend is using a dry, Provence-style rosé.
Salud!
