Equipment

  • Large Glass Pitcher
  • Mixing Spoon

Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • 1 bottle dry white wine Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended (750ml)
  • 1/4 cup triple sec or orange liqueur
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 2 cups sparkling water added just before serving

Fruits

  • 1 lime thinly sliced
  • 1 lemon thinly sliced
  • 1 orange thinly sliced
  • 1 green apple cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries halved
  • 1 cup green grapes halved

For Serving

  • ice cubes
  • fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Wash all fruits thoroughly and slice them thinly. For maximum flavor extraction, consider lightly muddling about 1/4 of your fruit mixture.
  • Pour the white wine into a large glass pitcher. Add the triple sec and honey or agave syrup. Stir gently until the sweetener dissolves completely.
  • Gently add all sliced fruits to the wine mixture. The fruits will initially float, but during the chilling period, they'll infuse the liquid with their flavors.
  • Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, though 4-6 hours yields optimal flavor infusion.
  • Just before serving, add the sparkling water and stir gently. Pour into glasses filled with ice, ensuring each serving contains a colorful assortment of the infused fruits.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately for the best effervescence and flavor.

Notes

For a personalized touch, rim glasses with sugar mixed with lemon zest before pouring.
Try freezing some of your fruit beforehand to use as natural ice cubes that won't dilute your drink.
This sangria pairs exceptionally well with light summer appetizers like prosciutto-wrapped melon, grilled shrimp skewers, or Spanish-style tapas.
Without sparkling water, this sangria keeps well refrigerated for up to 48 hours.
