We like entertaining but more so during the summer time. Having friends or family over for brunch or dinner and enjoying the beautiful weather together with a tasty cold cocktail, great food and nice music is a marvelous way to spend time with them.
I have a list of delicious summer cocktails I like to serve such as Rum Runner, Mixed Berry Margarita, Long Island Iced Tea, Mai Tai, Blackberry Mojito, Painkiller, Piña Colada, Mint Julep, Peach Bellini, Daiquiri, and many more. When it comes to mixology made with wine, there’s my Cosmocello and Spanish Sangria that I’ve already shared with you. Now here’s another one… my White Sangria!
What a perfect cocktail to serve on a hot summer afternoon! It’s sweet but not overly with a nice variety of fruits that have been soaked and chilled in white wine and orange liqueur for a few hours allowing the flavors to blend. Before serving, this refreshing cocktail is topped up with soda and ice cubes, and fresh strawberries are added… awesome! Who doesn’t want to make something ahead of time before your guests show up?
This White Sangria is a tasty change from the popular red wine Sangria as its lighter making it a great drink to serve when the mercury rises. Now don’t be fooled by the taste… it certainly packs a punch and with the heat, you can get tipsy faster than you’d think…
When it comes to wine, I prefer Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio as they’re both dry and crisp. As there are fruits and Cointreau in the recipe, don’t go crazy by buying an expensive bottle. Get something in the mid-range, a wine you can still enjoy on its own. The one I’m using in the video is Sawmill Creek, Sauvignon Blanc.
I don’t think I ever made the same White Sangria twice. I constantly change my selection of fruits. In the video, I use, cantaloupe, watermelon, pineapple, Strawberries, Kiwi and orange but other times, I might replace a few with others like peach, limes, Passion Fruits, apples, Mangoes, raspberries, etc. The beauty of making this cocktail is to use fruits you have on hand, what’s in season and what you prefer…
This White Sangria is the perfect summer cocktail! Fruity but not overly so, this is a drink everyone will rave about. Very refreshing and extremely easy to make, I’m sure this is a recipe you’ll love to make often especially when the temperature is hot outside… Please keep in mind that enjoying this smooth summer drink under the sun can give you a “buzz” so drink responsibly…
Cheers!
P.S. The size of my pitcher is 5 liters/20 cups
