Best (And Easiest) White Sangria Ever


Here it is, as promised. The best (and easiest) white sangria recipe ever, adapted from here:

  • One bottle of white wine*
  • 1/8 - 1/4 cup of sugar (We always use 1/8 cup per bottle of wine, but we like it a little less sweet)
  • Juice from one lemon
  • One apple and one peach, sliced
  • Fresh mint, if you like
Mix it all up, pop it in the fridge and call it a day!

*OK, here's the kicker, my secret sangria weapon: I always use Gazela Vinho Verde white wine. It's not too sweet, and lightly carbonated, so it gives the sangria just the right amount of fizz. Lovely and refreshing on a hot summer night.


Just fyi, we always double the recipe, especially if we have company. Strangely enough, one bottle of wine never seems to go as far when mixed with fresh fruit and poured from a pitcher. I'm sure there's some kind of scientific explanation...


Cheers!
