Rose wine’s sweet, floral bouquet mixes perfectly with Rhubarb’s tart stalks, and a sliced vanilla bean adds an almost creamy taste to the whole concoction. The tartness of the rhubarb mellows the sugar of the wine and the vanilla creates a depth of flavor making this sangria a delightful, alcoholic libation that is easy to create at home with only a few ingredients from your pantry and gathered at your local farmers market or backyard.

Sangria, a time tested recipe. Sangria is a wonderful wine beverage filled with freshly cut fruit, occasionally the addition of brandy and topped with a little sparkling water. The process of soaking fruit in wine isn’t a new one, but this inspired recipe is a great way to utilize rhubarb as a bar ingredient in beverages.

Let the slices of rhubarb soak in the rose wine overnight to release the fruit juices. This gives the sangria maximum flavor and will not dilute it.

My rhubarb sangria didn’t work out, it just tastes like wine, why?

You need to let your rhubarb macerate in your wine for several hours before the infusion is complete. After adding the fruit in, make sure to give it time to infuse the wine. Swirling the carafe every couple of hours will help this process.

Can I substitute a red wine for this recipe?

No, the delicate flavors of rhubarb will be overpowered if you use tannin heavy red wines. Stick to a light rose wine for this drink.

Serving Rhubarb Sangria and Garnishing Ideas:

Serve this sangria ice cold, topped with sparkling water and garnished with a few chunks of sangria from the carafe. I like to stick a little sprig of mint on the top, it’s another layer of flavor that is springy, and bright, plus the color combo of green and pink is so spring!

Storing Rhubarb Rose Wine Sangria:

Store Sangria in refrigerator for 4 days. I prefer to keep the infused wine base separate without the seltzer or any ice. When it is time to serve, I add my ice to a glass and top with seltzer.
