Ingredient notes
- White Wine – Any dry white wine that you love will work. I like using Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. You can also use a dry rosé wine.
- Elderflower Liqueur – aka St. Germain. This gives the sangria a lovely floral note.
- Sparkling Water – You can also use lemon lime soda or ginger ale if you prefer a sweet sangria.
- Strawberries – Or, swap in another favorite berry like raspberries, muddled blueberries or blackberries. Apples and pears are also delicious.
- Lime – I muddle some lime to give my white sangria a citrusy note. You can also use lemon.
How to make it
- Muddle the limes in the bottom of a pitcher.
- Add strawberries, white wine and elderflower liqueur and stir.
- Add ice to the pitcher.
- Top off with club soda or lemon lime soda (if you prefer sweeter sangria).
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves and/or edible flowers.
Which white wine is best for sangria?
- For this white wine sangria with berries I’m using Pinot Grigio. Its bright, crisp notes pair perfectly with the strawberries and elderflower liqueur in this berry sangria.
- You can also use Sauvignon Blanc or an unoaked Chardonnay.
- Rosé wine is another delightful option.
How to garnish it
- I garnished my sangria with some gorgeous edible flowers. I used roses and primroses. Other edible flowers include pansies, lavender, borage and chrysanthemums. Of course, you can always leave out the edible flowers and garnish it with a bit of fresh mint instead.
How long does it last?
- Sangria will last in the refrigerator for up to two days. The longer it sits, the more pronounced the strawberry & lime flavors will become.
