Lavender Peach Raspberry Sangria is made with rosé, and it is infused with raspberry liquor, peaches, and lavender. All these flavours go so well together resulting in a luscious and refreshing combination. You should try this spin on this summer drink!

Lavender Recipes
This August I have been sharing a few lavender ideas (and I am not ready to stop yet.) In fact, all these recipes were prepared and photographed last year. Yeah – all this summer I have been posing only unpublished stuff from last year (and one or two recipes even from 2021.) And please do not assume I have been lazy this season. As of now, I have more than 60 sub-folders in “Summer 2023 Recipes” folder. Please do not ask how – I do not have the right answer! Perhaps, I am a night-walker lol.
Here’s what I have shared so far:

Lavender Peach Raspberry Sangria
Today I am excited to share this lovely twist on sangria – Lavender Peach Raspberry Sangria. Lavender goes particularly well with both lavender. And according to the book “Cooking with Lavender” by Nancy Baggett, lavender also nicely pairs with some wines like moscato, prosecco, and Riesling. Rosé was not in that list, but I figured why not. And you know what? Wonderful!
Rosé wine can be either dry or sweet, but for this recipe I recommend going with the first option. Both lavender syrup and raspberry liquor are already sweet, so dry wine will balance it out a bit. In fact, sangria is often infused with brandy or triple sec, but I opted for raspberry liquor. I think brandy or triple sec would work here as well, and they should also result in a less sweet cocktail. Do not like or do not have rosé? Go with dry white whine then!

Lavender Peach Raspberry Sangria
Course: Drinks6
servings10
minutes1-4
hoursThis Lavender Peach Raspberry Sangria is fruity, refreshing, luscious, and with a subtle botanical note – great summer cocktail!
Ingredients
1 bottle rosé, chilled (dry recommended)
1/3 cup raspberry liquor
1/4 cup lavender syrup
3 peaches, sliced
1/2 cup raspberries, slightly mashed (do not make a pure though)
1-2 tbsp. lemon or lime juice, optional
Directions
- Make sure you make lavender syrup in advance as it will require at least 2 hours for infusing and cooling. You can certainly go with store-bought syrup, but keep in mind it could be sweeter than homemade.
- Combine all ingredients in a pitcher and stir to combine. Lemon or lime juice is optional, but it will also balance out the sweetness of sangria.
- Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hour. I will not recommend going beyond 4-5 hours as the fruit will start loosing their nice texture.) Try again and adjust the flavoring – perhaps, a touch of lavender syrup or lemon juice more.
- Serve over ice and garnished as desired. Enjoy!

What a fun idea to use a bottle of rose as the base here. Lavender and raspberry would go well together, too, so great idea to add in a bit of raspberry liquor. Pass me a cup!

Beautiful, Ben! Your lavender series is fantastic. It’s amazing that you have so many recipes in the cue. I’m so impressed. I usually have only a couple. Back to the lavender — I really love Sangria in the summer and the lavender twist is lovely. :-) ~Valentina
Thank you Valentina!

Brilliant to add this floral edge to sangria, Ben. I love it! You are the king of lavender.
Thanks Marissa!

I do fortify my sangrias with brandy, as you suggest, but I usually like to add a little something extra. Often, I opt for something like amaretto, but raspberry liqueur! That’s had switched on a big light for me. I bet it’s delicious!
Thank you Jeff!

You KNOW that I am all about the lavender, Ben. And I love this sangria. Believe it or not, sangria is on the menu for tomorrow evening Spanish dinner (arroz con pollo). I even have all the ingredients (accidentally!).
By the way, I have tried signing up again through a different email to see if I can get your posts. I really need posts in my inbox to help me remember to visit (getting old… haha…). The new subscriber is riocancion. I hope it works! I really wish I knew how your posts were getting blocked. Grrrr…

Yeah, actually there’s one more person who topped receiving post notifications. As I don’t know a thing about plugins and their debugging, I hope this way will work :) But personally, I have moved on to using Feedly app for blogs I follow.

I am so old. I need to look at Feedly, as I cannot get Angie’s blog, either. One day I will figure all this out! Oddly, I have never been able to get your blog notifications at any one of 5 email addresses. I am sure it is something on my end!
