White Wine Sangria
Refreshing White Wine Sangria is quick and easy to make. It is one of my favorite party drinks using a combination of delicious fresh fruit and your favorite white wine.
What kind of wine to use in sangria?
I used a Chardonnay, but Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling or Pinot Gris will work wonderfully as well.
What kind of fruit to use
For this sangria recipe I chose seasonal fruit I had on hand, fresh strawberries, blueberries, kiwi and lemon slices. Sprigs of fresh mint add a cool refreshing flavor that blends perfectly with the fruit.
Do you need to add sugar?
I prefer White Wine Sangria without any added sugar or syrups, but it you want your a tad sweeter blend in some simple sugar.
How to I made this drink non-alcoholic?
There are some exceptional non-alcoholic wines on the market now, simple substitute them for regular white wine.
Sangrias are the perfect party drink for your backyard gatherings or Sunday brunch. Put your own twist on this drink by adding your favorite fruits. You can even spike it up a bit more by adding a splash of Cointreau or brandy.
Every party is better with a special drink or cocktail. Orange Tinto de Verano and Watermelon Gin Cocktail are included in drinks I love to serve my company.
