A light, vibrant, and refreshing summer sangria featuring dry white wine, mixed berries, and star fruit for a subtly exotic twist. Perfect for easy entertaining and warm evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio recommended)
  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 medium star fruit, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 cup sparkling water
  • A handful fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
  • Ice cubes (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries gently and pat dry. Slice the star fruit crosswise into thin stars, then thinly slice the orange and lemon. Set aside a few star fruit slices for garnish.
  2. In a large pitcher, combine the white wine with the simple syrup. Stir gently to blend the sweetness evenly throughout the wine.
  3. Add the prepared berries, star fruit slices, orange, and lemon into the wine mixture. Stir gently to distribute the fruit without crushing.
  4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and fruit infuse the wine.
  5. Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water for fizz. Fill glasses with ice, pour the sangria over, and garnish with fresh mint and reserved star fruit slices.

Notes

Use a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for best results. Be gentle when stirring to avoid bruising berries. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Star fruit adds a mild sweet-tart crunch and visual appeal. Can prepare up to 24 hours ahead without sparkling water and ice. Substitute pineapple or green apple if star fruit is unavailable.
