A light, refreshing white wine sangria featuring summer fruits like peaches, green apples, and berries, perfect for warm days and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1 green apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1 orange, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1/4 cup brandy or peach schnapps (optional)
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves, roughly torn

Instructions

  1. Wash all fruit thoroughly. Slice peaches and apple thinly (about 1/4 inch thick). Slice lemon and orange into thin rounds or half-moons. Toss berries whole or halved if large.
  2. Pour chilled white wine into a large pitcher. Add sliced fruit and berries. Stir in honey or agave syrup and brandy or peach schnapps if using. Stir gently to combine without bruising fruit.
  3. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. Stir gently once or twice during chilling to redistribute flavors.
  4. Just before serving, add sparkling water or club soda and fresh mint leaves. Stir quickly to release aroma.
  5. Pour sangria into glasses including some fruit in each pour. Add ice cubes if desired and serve chilled.

Notes

Use dry, crisp white wines like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best balance. Chill sangria overnight for best flavor infusion. Add sparkling water and mint just before serving to keep fizz fresh. Thinly slice fruit for better flavor release. Avoid stirring vigorously to prevent bruising fruit. Adjust sweetness with honey or agave to taste. For lower alcohol, omit brandy and add more sparkling water.
