How to Make White Sangria
Step-by-step photos and instructions are provided to help you prepare this recipe. You can jump to the recipe card at the bottom for the printable version with measurements.
- Pour the wine into a large pitcher. Add the orange liqueur and club soda, then stir gently to combine.
- Prepare the fruit: slice the peach, apple, orange, and lemon; halve the strawberries and leave the berries whole. Add all the fruit to the pitcher and stir with a wooden spoon.
- Refrigerate for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
Letting the sangria sit in the fridge improves the flavor, but it’s fine to enjoy a glass right away if you’re impatient. Cheers!
