Hello everyone, today I’ll be sharing with you my go-to recipe for creating a wonderfully refreshing white wine sangria. Sangria is a fantastic and adaptable beverage, ideal for hosting gatherings or simply relaxing during a sunny day. Although sangria traditionally uses red wine, using white wine provides a lighter, more fruit-forward option that is equally tasty. Additionally, it’s super simple to prepare! Let’s get started.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- 1 bottle of white wine (I prefer using a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 1/4 cup of brandy
- 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- 1 cup of fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1-2 peaches, sliced
- 2 cups of club soda
- Ice
Instructions
To start, I like to pour the white wine into a large pitcher. Then I add the brandy and sugar, and stir gently until the sugar is dissolved. Next, I toss in the sliced fruits, including the oranges, lemons, limes, strawberries, and peaches. I give it a good stir and then pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors meld together.
When I’m ready to serve, I add the club soda and ice just before serving. The club soda gives it that nice fizz and the ice keeps it cool and refreshing. I like to serve the sangria in glasses with some fruit slices for an extra pop of color and flavor.
Personal Touch
One of my favorite things about making white wine sangria is that you can really get creative with the fruits. I love using whatever is in season – whether it’s juicy peaches in the summer or crisp apples in the fall. It adds a fun and personalized touch to the drink. Plus, the vibrant colors from the different fruits make it a real showstopper at gatherings.
My Thoughts
White wine sangria is such a versatile and crowd-pleasing drink. It’s perfect for brunches, picnics, or just unwinding after a long day. The combination of white wine, fruits, and a touch of sweetness is simply irresistible. I love how it’s light and refreshing, and it always puts a smile on my guests’ faces. It’s become a signature drink at my gatherings, and I hope it becomes one at yours too!
Conclusion
In conclusion, making white wine sangria is a breeze, and the result is a delightful drink that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re a white wine enthusiast or just looking to switch up your sangria game, I highly recommend giving this recipe a try. Cheers to good company, sunny days, and delicious drinks!
