Sippin’ into Summer: The Best White Wine Sangria Recipe

By: Erin

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. 🌴🥂

🌈 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:

In a large pitcher, add all the sliced fruit.
Pour in the white wine, brandy, orange juice, and tropical juice.
Stir gently, then chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (overnight is even better).
When ready to serve, add mint leaves for that fresh finish.
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.
