Base Ingredients
- 1 bottle dry white wine 750ml, Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended
- 1/4 cup white rum optional
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice approximately 2-3 limes
- 2 tbsp honey or agave nectar adjust to taste
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
Fruits
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 ripe mango diced
- 1 star fruit sliced
- 1 kiwi peeled and sliced
For Serving
- ice cubes
- fresh mint leaves for garnish
Wash all fruits thoroughly under cold running water. Cut the pineapple into 1-inch chunks, dice the mango into similar-sized pieces, and slice the star fruit and kiwi into attractive shapes.
In a large glass pitcher, pour in the bottle of white wine. Add the honey or agave nectar and stir until completely dissolved.
Gently add the prepared fruits to the wine mixture. Pour in the fresh lime juice.
If using rum, add it now.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4-6 hours. For the richest flavor development, prepare the day before serving and let it infuse overnight.
Just before serving, add the sparkling water or club soda and stir gently.
Pour the White Tropical Sangria into ice-filled glasses. Include some of the infused fruit in each glass and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
For maximum enjoyment, serve at 45-50°F (7-10°C). Without sparkling water added, the sangria will keep well for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Once sparkling water is added, consume within 24 hours for best taste.
For an alcohol-free version, substitute the white wine with white grape juice and omit the rum.
