How to Make the Best Wild Rose Petal Sangria
This Wild Rose Petal Sangria is a stunning and fragrant summer drink that’s perfect for special occasions. Made with delicate wild rose petals steeped into a homemade simple syrup and combined with crisp rosé wine, this cocktail delivers a lightly floral taste that’s both refreshing and elegant.
The secret to this beautiful sangria lies in the rose petal simple syrup, which requires a bit of patience—letting the petals steep overnight draws out their subtle, aromatic flavor.

Instructions
Rose Petal Simple Syrup
- Bring all syrup ingredients to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
- Turn off the heat and let the rose petals steep for 12-24 hours in a cool place. The longer they steep, the more rose flavor you'll get.
- Strain the syrup and refrigerate any leftovers.
Sangria
- In a large pitcher, combine the rosé wine, 1/3 cup rose petal simple syrup, 1/3 cup elderflower liqueur, and 1-2 tablespoons fresh wild rose petals.
- Add optional fresh mint leaves if desired.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve over ice and enjoy!
Notes
- Dried food-grade rose petals can be found in the bulk section of gourmet markets if fresh wild roses aren't available.
- Adjust the amount of rose petal simple syrup to taste—start with 1/4 cup if you prefer a less sweet sangria.
- The simple syrup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
