This bubbly, fruity white sangria is a crowd-pleaser and perfect for any occasion! Packed with fresh fruit, sweet wine, and champagne, it’s refreshing, vibrant, and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- ½ lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 cup blueberries
- 1 cup raspberries
- 10 large strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup orange juice
- 1 (750ml) bottle sweet white wine (like Riesling)
- 1 (750ml) bottle champagne or sparkling wine
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients:
In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the orange slices, lemon slices, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and orange juice. - Add Wine:
Pour in the white wine and stir gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or up to 24 hours to let the flavors meld. - Add Champagne Before Serving:
Just before serving, add the champagne or sparkling wine and give the sangria a gentle stir. - Adjust Sweetness (Optional):
Taste the sangria. If you’d like it sweeter, stir in ¼ cup granulated sugar, honey, or agave nectar. - Serve and Enjoy:
Pour into glasses, ensuring some fruit makes it into each serving. Serve chilled and enjoy the refreshing, fizzy goodness!
Notes:
- Add Brandy: For a more traditional sangria, add ¼ cup brandy to the pitcher along with the wine.
- Tools Needed: A large pitcher or punch bowl works perfectly for this recipe.
- Make Ahead: Letting the sangria chill for at least 3 hours enhances the fruity flavors, but it can sit for up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Serving Tip:
For an extra special touch, garnish each glass with a fresh strawberry slice or an orange wedge.
