Print Recipe

A light and fresh white wine sangria featuring mixed berries, citrus, and a splash of brandy, perfect for spring and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 750 ml dry, crisp white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries sliced, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced with peel
  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium peach or nectarine, pitted and thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (or honey/agave nectar to taste)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Wash all berries gently and pat dry. Slice strawberries, orange, lemon, and peach into thin, even slices. (About 10 minutes)
  2. Place half the mixed berries in a large pitcher and gently muddle with a muddler or wooden spoon until they release some juice but still hold shape. (2 minutes)
  3. Add all sliced citrus and peach to the pitcher, then pour in the brandy. Stir gently to combine. (1 minute)
  4. Pour in the entire bottle of chilled white wine. Stir carefully to mix all ingredients. (1 minute)
  5. Add simple syrup and stir gently. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed. (1 minute)
  6. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally 4-6 hours, to let flavors meld. (Passive time)
  7. Just before serving, add sparkling water or club soda for fizz. Stir gently to mix. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. (2 minutes)

Notes

Use a dry, crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best flavor. Muddle berries gently to avoid cloudiness. Chill for at least 2 hours for best flavor. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. For a lighter version, reduce or omit brandy. Can be made alcohol-free by substituting sparkling grape juice and omitting brandy.
