Beside how easy sangria recipes are to make, the other thing I truly love about them is that they are meant to be shared. I made this white sangria for my neighbors for our first book club meeting. It is refreshing, and perfect for a summer’s day. White Sangria is a backbone fall back recipe – once you learn it, you can take all sorts of great twists on it. And you have a guest coming over who loves red wine, make them my Red Sangria!
WHITE SANGRIA INGREDIENTS
This white sangria recipe is made with vodka and it could not be more simple.
Start out with a white wine that you love. I used a Pinot Grigio, and the gentle sweetness of it paired perfectly the other ingredients.Next, citrus vodka. I really like Eddy’s Lemon Vodka. It is sweet, without being over powering.Add some orange liqueur. I love using Cointreau.Then add simple syrup. Taste the recipe before adding simple syrup. If it is sweet enough without it for you, skip it. You can always put it on the side if your book club friends like their drinks sweeter.Finally, fresh fruit! For this, I used fresh oranges, lemons, raspberries, and sliced strawberries.
WHAT ALCOHOL TO USE
As mentioned above, I went with a citrus vodka for this recipe, but that’s not a hard fast rule. You could also use Brandy or Rum and it would work great in this recipe.
