Easy White Sangria Recipe

Ingredients for White Wine Sangria

Sparkling Water: Adds fizz and refreshment. Use plain sparkling water, or opt for lemon-lime or ginger ale if you prefer a sweeter twist.

Lime: Adds a bright, zesty acidity to balance the sweetness. You’ll need one fresh lime for this recipe.

Lemon: Fresh lemon juice provides a tart, sweet flavor, fragrance, and a pop of color. Use one medium lemon for the best results.

Strawberries: Fresh strawberries add a burst of fruity flavor and a beautiful red hue.

White Wine: Use an entire bottle of white wine like a Rioja Spanish white or Sauvignon Blanc for a crisp and balanced base.

Apple: Perfectly pairs with apple vodka. Choose any variety you like for a touch of fresh crunch.

Apple Vodka: Adds a crisp, fruity kick with a smooth, sweet finish to complement the sangria’s tartness.

Pear, Peach, or Orange Liqueur: Sweet liqueurs like Grand Marnier work beautifully in this recipe for added depth and flavor.

Simple Syrup: A blend of sugar and water that brings a subtle sweetness. For a low-sugar version, swap with maple syrup or a sugar alternative.

Fresh Mint – Use this to garnish the Sangria and add more color.

White Sangria Variations to Try

Add Orange Juice: For an extra fruity twist, mix in a splash of orange juice to enhance the flavor.

3-Ingredient White Sangria: Keep it simple with just white wine, soda water, and fresh fruit.

Add Brandy: Skip the vodka and add a splash of brandy instead.

White Sangria with Prosecco: Swap the white wine for Prosecco to add a bubbly twist.

Easy Vodka Sangria: Replace brandy with flavored or classic vodka for a modern take.

Seasonal Fruit and Berries: Use fresh, in-season fruits like peaches, berries, or citrus, or try frozen fruit in a pinch.

Creative Liqueurs: Add unique flavors with liqueurs like peach, elderflower, limoncello, triple sec, or even banana or prickly pear.

Flavored Vodka: Experiment with different vodka flavors like apple (used in this recipe), citrus, or even vanilla.

Themed Sangria: Go tropical with pineapple and mango, or customize the recipe to match any theme.

How long does Sangria last? 

Since Sangria contains sliced fruits, the fruit will turn brown after a few days. Plan to keep it in the refrigerator for three days and then discard it. However, I doubt you’ll have any left on the third day! This recipe goes fast with all of my friends.

How Strong Is Sangria?

Sangria is typically light and easy to sip, making it ideal for casual gatherings. Its alcohol content depends on the wine and additional spirits, like brandy or vodka, you choose to include. For a lighter option, stick to wine and fresh fruit. For a kick, try a white sangria recipe easy with vodka or no brandy – customizing the strength to your preference.

Can I Skip Sugar When Making Sangria?

Yes, you can skip sugar in sangria if you’d like to reduce sweetness or make it healthier. Instead of granulated sugar, consider natural sweeteners like honey, agave syrup, or a splash of fruit juice.

What Goes with Sangria for a Party?

Sangria pairs beautifully with light, summery dishes like tapas, cheese boards, or a burrata platter. Consider serving it alongside finger foods like bruschetta, olives, or goat cheese dip for a party.

Sangria’s fruity and refreshing profile complements a variety of dishes, making it a crowd-pleaser. Hosting a bigger gathering? Offer a red sangria recipe as well to give your guests more options.
