Red, ripe and juicy, these cherry bombs are ready to be toasted in this Roasted Cherry Sangria recipe sponsored by my friends at Harry & David.
I’ve been known to enjoy a nice, cold refreshment on a warm summer’s eve. Maybe once, probably twice. Okay, like, definitely more than that.
Back in the day I was a red wine kinda gal. Once I’d graduated from wine coolers, aka college, I discovered my happy spot when I was with friends or family with a freshly opened bottle on the table and glass of red in my hand.
As I’ve gotten older my tastes have changed, thanks mainly to the increased rate of heartburn I somehow have contracted with red wine consumption, and thus I’ve switched over from reds to whites, with a steady lean toward unoaked chardonnays or a fruity and bubblicious Prosecco.
While I certainly love a great sauvingnon blanc in summerโlight, fresh and a little more like the wine version of a summertime gin and tonicโit’s not really the type of drink that calls out, “Hey, it’s time to sit by the pool and drink like we eat in the heat.” As in fresh, cold and happily.
That’s what this Roasted Cherry Sangria is for. To make me happy.
When a box of Harry & David cherries arrived at my door, of course my mind went straight into recipe making mode. But what recipe might spring forth? ย Savory? Sweet? Dessert? Maybe and appetizer?
I kept wondering as my daughter and I picked a handful straight from the box and promptly consumed them, as I also wondered if there would be any left to make a recipe with. Thank goodness none of her little pals were hovering over the goods, or it would be been cherry pie bye bye.
Knowing my weekend plans had a dinner with some girlfriends on the agenda, this time around, I went the savory and spirited route.
Now THIS makes a party.
This recipe came about on its own, as an homage to its predecessor, the Hotel Inspired White Peach Sangriaย I whipped up when I visited Harry & David HQ last year.
Ah, but this…
Red zin with cherry notes cooled down with ice cubes, then tempered with cherry liqueur and heightened by a splash of gorgeously pink sparkling rosรฉ, each drink of this sangria is bettered only by the bites of sweet, roasted cherry halves that absorbed the zinniest taste of the red zin and serve as the boozy base of this fruity medley.
I spruced my version up with slices of oranges and some sprigs of fresh mint. Rosemary or basil would be equally tasty enhancements if you’re looking to spike it up the flavor values even more.

I really admire for this because red cherry juice gives you more protein similar to orange juice.

This looks totally delightful. I cherish the bubbly rose you added to the blend. What’s more, those fruits. I cherish the sweet and caramel flavor from cooked natural product. This resembles the ideal summer mixed drink. http://www.proessay.co.uk/

Hi:
Why did you roast the cherries for this recipe? Is it to give them a more carmel-like taste? Do they add to the taste of the liquid or just give a bang of flavour when you eat them?
heidi
They added a more savory bite and also gave off more juice
Nessa
Great recipe!
Kathy @ Olives and Garlic
Always beautiful and so appetizing.
natalie @ wee eats
Now doesn’t that look heavenly and refreshing. And I ADORE that pitcher. I need it.
Also, thank you for doing what almost no one does, and ACTUALLY TELLING ME WHAT KIND OF ALCOHOL TO BUY. I’m like, a wine dunce, so if you say “buy red zin”, I go to the store and then my brain goes into overdrive when I realize there is more than one brand and I get lost because I DON’T DRINK THAT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO BUY and then I get tired and go home. Now I have an actual brand to look for which makes to process easy peasy.
Gorgeous pics (as always) and amazing recipe. Love it. Thanks for sharing <3
