White Sangria
Description
The White Sangria recipe focuses on fresh seasonal fruits including strawberries, mango, peach, green apple, lime, and orange. These are sweetened with granulated sugar and liqueur (triple sec) and left to macerate chilled for an hour to develop natural juices and meld flavors. Combining the fruit mixture with a bottle of chilled white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Prosecco adds body and subtle dryness while white seltzer water introduces effervescence and lightness.
The flavor is a mix of sweet and tart fruity elements balanced by the drying effect of the wine and a slight bitterness from citrus when tonic or substitute seltzer variations are used. The preparation is simple and suited for serving over ice, presenting a refreshing cocktail that highlights the fresh fruit and wine blend.
This sangria can be prepared in advance without seltzer to allow flavor melding in the fridge for up to three days, then finished with carbonation just before serving. The recipe yields 12 servings with fruit included, making it suitable for parties or casual occasions with friends.
Storage tips include refrigerating the sangria in a sealed container and varying liqueur or soda types based on personal preference to adjust sweetness or bitterness as desired.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strawberries sliced
- 1 Mango peeled, seed removed and diced
- 1 peach pitted and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup triple sec (see note 1)
- 1 green apple cored and sliced (see note 2)
- 1 lime sliced
- 1 orange sliced
- 1 bottle white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc, or Prosecco, chilled, dry

Instructions

Notes
- Triple sec can be substituted with other orange liqueurs like Cointreau or Grand Marnier for similar citrus notes.
- While green apples add tartness, any apple variety can be used according to taste.
- Replace seltzer with tonic water for bitterness or lemon-lime soda for sweeter sangria.
- This recipe makes about 12 one-cup servings including fruit.
- Prepare the sangria without seltzer up to 3 days ahead; add seltzer just before serving to maintain carbonation.
- Store leftovers in a sealed jar or pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
