Ingredients

  • lbs fresh strawberries cut in half
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 1 cup water

Recipe Notes

Wine Recommendation: Tassel Ridge Oskyfizzante Iowa White 

Oskyfizzante Iowa White is a fruity, semi-sweet, fizzy wine with grapefruit, kiwi, and stone fruit on the nose and kiwi, peach, and citrus on the palate. It is made entirely from grapes grown in our Mahaska County, Iowa, vineyards. It complements the flavors in this sangria.
