White Sangria

It’s time to make a refreshing pitcher of White Sangria, the perfect drink to go with Easy Paella and Pan con tomate, two Spanish recipes I’ve featured on the blog this month. Both are easy, satisfying recipes you can serve for dinner or your next party.

Ingredients for White Sangria.

Sangria’s so versatile. And it doesn’t have to be sweet. Choose sparkling wine like Cava or Prosecco or something zesty like Pinot Grigio, Chenin Blanc or Riesling. I choose a sparkling Spanish white for a bubbly (but less sweet drink) which goes well with everything from cheese and crackers to barbecue.


Add brandy or triple sec, lemon juice, fresh fruit, sugar and pour over ice.

Sangria is not a strict recipe. Replace the lemon juice with orange juice or mineral water. Add any fruit you like: red and green apples, oranges, kiwis, berries, etc…

You can also assemble the liquids ahead of time and refrigerate. Just before serving, add fruit to the pitcher and glasses and pour over ice.

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice.
