Ingredients
- 1/2 inch piece of fresh ginger peeled
- 1 can of lychee with juice see notes for fresh lychee substitute
- 1/2 lemon sliced
- 1/2 lime sliced
- 1/2 cup elderflower syrup see notes for substitutions
- 1/2 cup vodka or gin see notes for substitutions
- 1/2 cup lychee juice from the can
- 1 bottle of chilled pinot grigio
Instructions
- Julienne the piece of ginger into small matchstick-sized pieces. Transfer this ginger into a pitcher or carafe.
- Drain the lychee from the can, and reserve the juices. Set aside the lychee.
- If you're using fresh lychee, pierce the red skin of the lychee and carefully peel it off. Using a knife, slice the lychee flesh length-ways (along the seed) and carefully remove the seed. Discard the seeds, and set aside the lychee flesh.
- Slice the lemon and lime and place them in the pitcher or carafe.
- Add the elderflower syrup and vodka and mix to combine. Using a cocktail muddler, gently muddle the citrus and ginger to release a little of their juices. Don't muddle too much though, since you want to keep the integrity of the lemon and lime slices.
- Add the lychee, 1/2 cup of the lychee juice, and the pinot grigio wine. Mix to combine. Add agave syrup or simple syrup to sweeten - IF necessary.
- Chill for at least 4 hours to let the fruits infuse the sangria blanca. Serve chilled.
Notes
- Instead of canned lychee, you can use 20 - 22 fresh lychee, seeds removed, and use 1/2 cup of lychee juice which you can buy separately from an Asian store.
- Instead of the elderflower syrup and vodka, you can use 1 cup of St. Germain liqueur (which is an elderflower liqueur).
