Female Founded Wine and Spirt cocktail recipes

January 4, 2023

Women’s Cocktail Collective & Female Founded Wine & Spirits Brands. As a founding member of the Women’s Cocktail Collective, we are aligned with the mission of diversifying the back bar with female-owned wine and spirits brands. Le Grand Courtâge CEO/Proprietor Tawnya Falkner grew up in a 3-street town, and that upbringing awoke a desire to see the world. The more she traveled, the more she realized that food and wine are about human connection and bringing people together to share life’s simple pleasures. Fueled by a passion and a belief, Tawnya gave up her career, took the leap, and moved to France. Her vision to create an affordable everyday luxury resulted in Le Grand Courtâge and Très Chic, award-winning French wines with appealing, modern character and an elegant appearance.

How to make Rosé Sangria

There are multiple different kinds of sangria out there, the most common ones are red sangria and white sangria. Well, we are here to introduce you to rosé sangria! This special pink sangria is made with rosé wine including our Trés Chic Rosé wine and is super light and refreshing. It also has a delicate and fruity flavor which is our absolute favorite.

This rosé sangria is perfect for summer entertaining, picnic, BBQ, pool party, enjoying a lazy afternoon, or a fancy dinner party with the girls.

Often sangrias can be quite sweet or mixed with non-traditional ingredients such as ginger ale or cranberry juice. This recipe has a delicate, nuanced flavor that is not too sweet and will have your guests asking for more.

How long should I let the fruit soak?

If you want to serve sangria the correct way, we recommend that you let your fruit stand for at least 15-30 minutes. To serve the best sangria you would ideally like to refrigerate it for at least 2 hours. This will allow your fruit to infuse the wine. We would not recommend anything beyond 4 hours, as the fruit starts to become soggy and lose its color and flavor.

Ingredients for Rosé Sangria

Sangria originated from Spain and is their traditional wine punch. The most common sangria that you probably are familiar with is the classic version of red sangria. This sangria is made with red wine and chopped fruit and is usually mixed with orange juice or brandy.   We also mentioned white sangria, which is simply made with white wine. We thought we would come up with something less traditional using our wine Tres chic to create this simple refreshing rosé sangria.

There are many popular recipes and variations out there when it comes to ingredients. Here are the ingredients in our rose sangria.  We also own Le Grand Courtâge, a French Sparkling Wine, and have a lovely bubbly that would be yummy for a sparkling rosé sangria option as well!

1- 750ml Bottle Très Chic Rosé
2 cups Strawberries, chopped
2 cups Peaches, chopped
½ cup Peach liqueur
½ cup Raspberry or strawberry puree*
2 cups Sparkling water

How To Make Rose Sangria

  1. You will need a high-powered blender or a food processor to blend your fruit for the Puree. After you have blended the fruit, strain the fruit and remove the seeds.
  2. Include all ingredients except for the sparkling water in a pitcher. Stir and refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Add the sparkling wine to the pitcher right before serving.
  4. Pour your finished sangria into glasses filled with ice and it’s ready to serve.

This rosé sangria is super refreshing. It’s great for cookouts and or if you’re just relaxing with the girls. We hope you try out our recipe and enjoy it with your friends or solo if that’s the mood! For more fun recipes like these click here for our curated cocktail recipes booklets!
