Sippin’ into Summer: The Best White Wine Sangria Recipe

There’s something magical about those long, sun-soaked SoCal days, especially when they come with a chilled glass of sangria in hand. And let me tell you, Sangria season is officially on with this White Wine Sangria! 🌞🍓

This White Wine Sangria recipe is my go-to for summer gatherings. Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, planning a beach picnic, or just want something light and fruity for weekend brunch, this pitcher of citrusy sunshine checks all the boxes. 🍹

What makes this sangria extra special? It’s packed with fresh fruit from Melissa’s Produce, sweet strawberries, juicy oranges, and zingy lemons and limes, all mingling together in a tropical twist. Add a splash of brandy and a mix of orange and tropical juices, and you’ve got a crowd-pleaser that feels like a mini vacation in every glass. 🌴🥂

White wine Sangria

🌈 Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • 🍊 2–3 oranges, sliced
  • 🍋 1–2 lemons + limes, sliced
  • 🍓 1 cup strawberries, stemmed and sliced
  • 🍷 1 bottle of white wine (something crisp like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 🥃 1/4 cup brandy
  • 🍹 1/2 cup orange juice + 1/2 cup tropical juice (pineapple, mango, passionfruit… go wild!)
  • 🌿 Fresh mint for garnish

🥄 Directions:

  1. In a large pitcher, add all the sliced fruit.
  2. Pour in the white wine, brandy, orange juice, and tropical juice.
  3. Stir gently, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
  4. When ready to serve, add mint leaves for that fresh finish.
  5. Pour over ice and cheers to good vibes and sunny skies! 🍷✨

Sangria is such a fun, versatile drink. You can easily swap in whatever fruit you have on hand or make it sparkling with a splash of soda water right before serving.

Whether you’re sipping with your besties or just treating yourself after a long week, this white wine sangria brings a burst of flavor, color, and summer joy to any occasion.

🛟 What’s the Duck Deal?

Here’s how it works: Guests can “adopt” a rubber duck for the big race.

And did we mention the world’s largest rubber duck (yes, really, it’s over six stories tall!) will be on display all weekend long? She’ll be joined by her adorable 10-foot-tall baby duck, perfect for Insta-worthy family photo ops 📸🐥

🏊‍♀️ Swim Safe & Make a Splash
