Summer White Sangria Ingredients

Here is a quick overview of what you will need. Find exact measurements in the printable recipe card below.

  • Pinot Grigio and Triple Sec – Feel free to use another light-bodied white wine like a sweet Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc if you like. The triple sec adds a lovely citrus flavor that complements the berries perfectly.
  • Sprite – This lemon-lime soda adds a refreshing fizz and a sweetness we love. Ginger ale could work, too. If you want a spicier flavor, try ginger beer. For people who don’t like their drinks very sweet, try soda water instead.
  • Strawberries, Blueberries, and Raspberries – These fresh berries add subtle flavor and a beautiful punch of color! Mix and match as you wish. Frozen fruit can be used, though they tend to color the beverage more.
  • Mint leaves – This aromatic garnish adds beautiful color and flavor without overpowering the other flavors! Feel free to try basil leaves instead if you want a more savory scent.

How to Make White Sangria

This recipe truly could not be any easier! Simply pour all the ingredients EXCEPT the Sprite into a pitcher, cover, and refrigerate. When the drink is chilled and you are ready to serve, pour in the sprite, garnish with fresh mint leaves, and serve.

Tips

  • Don’t pour the Sprite too early. Its carbonation will fizz out within a few hours, so you get the best texture when you pour it right before serving.
  • Only put the berries into the alcohol a few hours before serving. The longer they are in it, the more they soak up.
  • While this white wine sangria starts very clear, it will become more and more pink the longer the berries sit in it.
  • Consider serving this for all your patriotic holidays (4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day) as it gives the perfect “red, white, and blue” appearance!
