Way back when I was a college kid, sangria was new and exotic—like fondue. And crêpes. Admittedly, I liked sangria better than either of those ’70s throwbacks. I prefer it made with my favorite summer sipper, rosé. You can add whatever fruit you like or have on hand. For the fizzy part—you gotta have fizz—I like those flavored sparkling waters, like LaCroix, but you could also double down and use a sparkling wine like prosecco. Be sure to serve it in a clear glass pitcher or decanter, so all can behold the pretty pinkness of your Sandbar Sangria.
