Pink Lemonade Sangria is a fun and colorful take on the classic wine cocktail. Fresh strawberries, raspberries, and lemons swim in a sparkling sea of pink citrus flavor. This pretty pink drink will surely be the life of the party!
Pink Lemonade Sangria
You’ve heard of traditional red sangria, you’ve heard of white sangria, but how about a pink lemonade version? That’s right! This sangria takes the classic elements of a white sangria and mixes it up with pink lemonade flavors along with fresh strawberries, raspberries, and lemons as the fruit of choice. Bright, bubbly, and colorful, this cocktail is a refreshing drink that will definitely get the party started. This recipe serves a group and is made in either a large pitcher or punchbowl. However, it can be prepped in advance so you could make several batches to have on hand to replenish if you want to serve this for a large party. The color and berry citrus flavors are perfect for a summer bridal shower, a girl’s day by the pool, or just the backyard bbq of your dreams. You can change up how sweet this drink is based on the wine and could even swap the Sprite for sparkling water (maybe even a lemon flavored club soda to keep the lemony flair). Be sure to garnish with extra fresh fruit for a top tier presentation!

What makes a sangria a sangria?
It seems crazy how many variations of sangria can be made but it all comes down to the key elements that make a sangria…well, a sangria. First up, wine. Typically a red wine (given the root of the Spanish name coming from sangre, meaning blood) but modern versions use any kind of wine. Fresh fruit, spirits of some sort, something sparkling, and something to act as a sweetener. Now in today’s world there are a million different types of sangria recipes that run the color, fruit and flavor spectrum making this cocktail fit for any occasion!
How To Make Pink Lemonade Sangria
- Combine. Use a large pitcher or punch bowl to combine the sprite, white wine, frozen pink lemonade concentrate, vodka, and fresh fruit. Stir gently to combine.
- Refrigerate. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the drink to get nice and cold.
- Serve. Serve over ice and garnish with a lemon slice and extra strawberries and raspberries if you wish. Cheers!
Storing Pink Lemonade Sangria
While you can make this a bit ahead of time, leftover sangria (or prepped sangria) is best enjoyed within a day or 2 of making it. It can keep fresh in the fridge but I wouldn’t save it past that second day.
Ingredients Notes for Pink Lemonade Sangria
- Sprite – You could also use 7UP. Any lemon lime flavored soda works!
- White Wine – This is up to your preferences. Dry, sweet, buttery. Whatever kind of white wine you have on hand or is within your budget.
- Pink Lemonade Concentrate – This is important. You want the frozen pink lemonade concentrate, NOT regular pink lemonade. Regular pink lemonade will be too diluted once everything gets mixed together and we want that big flavor.
- Vodka – Again, any brand you prefer. Honestly vodka doesn’t change much in the way it’s distilled so a cheaper bottle (in theory) should taste the same as a more expensive bottle. So essentially, just choose what works for you!
- Fresh Fruit – We’ll need about a cup of sliced strawberries, a cup of raspberries, and a sliced lemon.
Enjoy!
