Strawberry-Mint Sangria
This bright, blush-tinted sangria layers fresh strawberries two ways—muddled into a homemade syrup and stirred in whole slices—for a drink that's fruity, lightly floral, and just the right balance of tart and sweet. A splash of St. Germain elderflower liqueur ties the mint and berry flavors together beautifully, giving the whole pitcher an elegant lift. It's a fantastic choice for warm-weather gatherings when you want something crowd-pleasing, gorgeous in a glass, and easy to pour for a group.
