Sangria is one of my very favorite cocktail recipes, especially during summer months. This recipe is one of my go-to cocktails for entertaining a larger group of guests. I love preparing for dining al fresco and especially poolside entertaining.

The preparation is so easy and can certainly be made well in advance. Use a dry white wine and Champagne (or prosecco), adjust the sugar to suit your palette. For a perfect mocktail substitute sparkling water for the Champagne.

Select fresh fruits of the season that you enjoy. I love serving this recipe with a beautiful charcuterie board, grilled meats, grilled vegetables, and summer salads. Enjoy!

Tiffy’s Tips

~When selecting wines, I like making white sangria with a crisp, dry white. I enjoy the delicate flavor of Sauvignon blanc but a great substitution would be Pinot Grigio, or a dry rose. 

~Substitute an orange flavored liqueur for the brandy. Cointreau, triple sec or grand marnier. 

~I prefer a less sweet cocktail option and there is quite a bit of natural sugar in this recipe.  I shy away from added sweeteners when I prepare as I use cointreau and that’s enough sweetener for me.  You can add pure cane sugar, sugar substitutes, simple syrup, honey, light agave nectar. 

~Fruit selections…so many fabulous options. Berries, grapes, pineapple, mango, kiwi, apples, peaches, cherries, the options are endless. 

This White Sangria is perfect for a hot summer day! I hope you all enjoy this refreshing and delicious recipe! Enjoy!
