Hi friends!
The summertime beckons for the cool sips of a tasty rosè sangria. I’ve had sangrias that I loved and others that I hated because they were WAY too sweet. I don’t mind a light, fruity sweetness in sangrias. However, too much sugar equals a headache for me, which is never fun. Not to worry, though! My easy rosè sangria recipe is low-sugar, low-maintenance, and darn-right delicious! I love to make a big batch of sangria for a girl’s day, shower, or any type of outdoor soirée. The longer the sangria sits, the better it becomes as all the flavors bond together and become fruitier and naturally sweeter over time (if your batch lasts that long!).
If you’ve read any of my other beverage recipe posts, you’ll notice that I do NOT mess with making simple syrup or buying any type of specialty mixers. Instead, I like to substitute agave nectar, natural fruit, or just leave it out entirely. Call it my obsession with healthier eats, time-saving, or just plain being lazy. 😉 No matter what, I want to make the healthiest version of a recipe I can with the least amount of time or cleanup. Can I get an Amen? All that being said, I make my rosè sangria different than other recipes out there because I do not add sugar or fruit juice. Instead, I use an amazing rosè, peach schnapps, fresh fruit, and some flavored La Croix to keep things sparkly.
I love this recipe because:
- It’s not TOO sweet
- It doesn’t require extra sugar or making simple syrup
- It can be made with your favorite fresh fruit
- Takes only minutes to whip up for your girls!
Here’s how I make it-
I throw half a green apple, lemon slices, 2 peaches (saving a few slices for individual glass garnish), & 1/2 a small carton of blackberries in a large serving pitcher.
From there, I measure 4 oz. of peach schnapps into the vessel along with 1 cup of blackberry La Croixan and entire bottle of rosè.
Then, I pop this into the fridge until guests arrive so that the longer it sits (a few hours is perfect!) the better it gets. Then, I add ice so that the sangria gets extra cold and serve up to each guest.
You could certainly choose to just add ice to each person’s glass as your pour them out versus putting ice into the entire pitcher. You could leave the ice out entirely if you’re worried about the ice watering the flavor down and it’s had a few hours to chill in the refrigerator. In my experience, the pitcher didn’t last long enough for the ice to melt, but you could hold out on that if you wanted. 😉
That’s it, folks!
You could sub a different fruit if peaches & blackberries aren’t your thing – but why would you do that?! Joking… but I would encourage you to just give this flavor combo a try at least once. 🙂 It is DEElicious!
Oh, oh (waives hands wildly)! One of the BEST things at the end of your sips with this drink is that everyone can divide up the rosè-soaked fruit at the bottom. It makes a nice little snack on the end. Mmm mm.
Some may even be consider this a hydrating sangria recipe with the La Croix plus the added ice… No, is that a stretch? OK. Well, it’s yummy, we can all agree on that!
Here’s to an easy, low-sugar with high-flavor sangria that takes no time to make…Cheers!

I love wine in general, this looks really good. I would like to try this recipe with red wine. I’m not a huge blush fan, but I do love red sangria. 🙂
Mallory says
Oh yes that would be delicious you could totally sub red wine! Go for it and let me know how it goes!
Kat says
It looks so delicious. And I love that you don’t use any sugar or sugar syrups to make this. Definitely a recipe to try!
Mallory says
Thank you so much!! No syrups, no problems- right?! 😉
Maggie Lamarre says
Please please send to my house I can use some definitely tonight.

Cori @ Sweet Coralice says
Mmmm, girl, this looks wonderful! I am more of a mixed drink gal than a beer loving one, lol. Definitely saving this one for the weekend 🙂
Mallory says
Ah thanks so much Cori! Wooweee it is a good one for sure. 🙂 Give it a try, hope you love it!!
aareeba says
This sounds really delicious and easy to make. I don’t prefer too sweet in my juice/smoothies and this sounds perfect to me. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Mallory says
Me either! I like a balance of natural sweetness so this recipe hits the spot for us that need a little less sugar with all the same flavor!
Rachel says
That sounds really good! I love Sangria but rarely make it at home. This recipe seems easy enough.
Mallory says
Thanks so much Rachel! I promise this one only takes minutes to put together and just a few hours to chill before it’s ready to enjoy! I hope you get to try it out!
