The components for a traditional sangria are in the glass: wine, brandy and fruit. The sparkling wine or fizzy water that’s sometimes added just before serving is not in this recipe, but you can include it, especially if you increase the recipe four or six times to make a pitcher. Wölffer Kitchen in Sag Harbor, N.Y., which makes a popular rosé wine, devised this pretty drink, a variation on sangria, for its summery appeal. —Florence Fabricant

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a cocktail shaker, muddle 3 of the raspberries, the mint and cucumber with the simple syrup. Add the Chambord or other liqueur, lemon juice and Cognac. Fill the shaker with ice cubes and add the rosé wine. Shake well.

  2. Step 2

    Strain into a wine glass, add the remaining 2 raspberries and the orange slice.

Tip
  • To make simple syrup, warm 1 cup sugar in 1 cup water in a saucepan over low heat until dissolved. Cool to room temperature before using. (There will be extra syrup; refrigerate if not using immediately.)

This is quite tasty made as directed but with at least twice as much mint and cucumber. Double strain this one unless you’re OK with cucumber and raspberry pulp/seeds in your drink. I topped mine off with 2 oz each of soda water and sparkling wine to lighten things up. Great pre-paella drink!

Very good but the amount of lemon juice should depend on the sweetness of the berries. 3/4 oz was a bit too sour for me. Also, the cucumber and mint didn’t really come thru so maybe up the mint and grate the cucumber before muddling. Excellent served with blue cheese and probably with pate. Looking forward to trying it with grilled shrimp this summer.

This is delicious - but packs a punch. I add some seltzer so I can have more than one!
