Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 2 bottles Rose Wine
- 12 oz. can ginger ale
- 2 cups ruby red grapefruit juice
- 1 cup Stoli Crushed Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka
- grapefruit slices
- coarse sea salt and grapefruit zest for rim
Instructions
- Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the syrup has reduced by half and thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.1 cup sugar, 1 cup water
- In a large pitcher, stir together all ingredients except the simple syrup (sugar and water mixture) until combined. You should have approximately ½ cup of simple syrup. I recommend adding half first, stirring and tasting, then adding more to your taste. I liked it with the entire ½ cup added, but it's all up to your taste! Add the grapefruit slices to the pitcher and stir. Refrigerate until ready to serve.2 bottles Rose Wine, 12 oz. can ginger ale, 2 cups ruby red grapefruit juice, 1 cup Stoli Crushed Ruby Red Grapefruit Vodka, grapefruit slices
- Dip each glass in water and then coat in sea salt (I added a little grapefruit zest to the salt for fun) and fill with ice. Pour the sangria in and enjoy!coarse sea salt and grapefruit zest for rim
