White Sangria
We enjoy entertaining, especially during the summertime. Having friends or family over for brunch or dinner and enjoying the beautiful weather together with a tasty cold cocktail, delicious food, and nice music 🎶 is a marvelous way to spend time with them.
When it comes to summer cocktails, I like to serve drinks such as Rum Runner, Strawberry Mango Margarita, Long Island Iced Tea, Mai Tai, Blackberry Mojito, Painkiller, Piña Colada 🍍, Peach Bellini, Daiquiri, and many more.
I also like mixologies made with wine. There’s my Cosmocello and Spanish Sangria 🍷 that I’ve already shared. Now here’s another one… my White Sangria!
What a perfect cocktail to serve on a hot summer afternoon! It’s sweet but not overly so, with a nice variety of fruits that have been soaked and chilled in white wine and orange liqueur for a few hours, allowing the flavors to blend. Before serving, this refreshing cocktail is topped up with soda and ice cubes 🧊, and fresh strawberries are added… awesome! Who doesn’t want to make something ahead of time before their guests show up?
This White Sangria is a tasty change from the popular red wine Sangria; its lighter, making it a great drink to serve when the mercury rises. Don’t be fooled by the taste… it certainly packs a punch, and with the heat, you can get tipsy 😵 faster than you’d think…
When it comes to wine, I prefer Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, as they’re both dry and crisp. As there are fruits and Cointreau in the recipe, don’t go crazy by buying an expensive bottle 💰. Get something in the mid-range, a wine you can still enjoy on its own. The one I’m using in the video is Sawmill Creek, Sauvignon Blanc.
I don’t think I ever made the same White Sangria twice. I constantly change my selection of fruits. In the video, I use cantaloupe, watermelon 🍉, pineapple, strawberries, kiwi, and orange. Other times, I might replace a few with others like peach, limes, passion fruits, apples, mangoes, raspberries, etc. The beauty of making this cocktail is to use fruits you have on hand, what’s in season, and what you prefer…
This White Sangria is the perfect summer cocktail! Fruity but not overly so, this is a drink everyone will rave about. Very refreshing and extremely easy to make 👩🍳👨🍳, I’m sure this is a recipe you’ll love to make often, especially when the temperature is hot outside! Please keep in mind that enjoying this smooth summer drink under the sun can give you a “buzz”, so drink responsibly…
Cheers! 🥂
P.S. The size of my pitcher is 5 liters/20 cups

Ingredients
- 1 cup watermelon, scooped into balls
- 1 cup cantaloupe, scooped into balls
- 1 cup pineapple, peeled, cored and cubed
- 1 large orange, washed, sliced and halved
- 2 large firm kiwifruits, peeled, sliced and halved tips & tricks
- 1.5 liter Sauvignon Blanc (substitute Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay), chilled
- 1 cup orange juice tips & tricks
- 2 ounces orange liqueur such as Cointreau
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and halved tips & tricks
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 2 cups 7Up® lemon-lime soda
Directions
- Make some watermelon and cantaloupe balls using a small scoop or melon baller - because they’re round, although the recipe is for 1 cup each, go over like 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cups.
- To a large pitcher, add the watermelon and cantaloupe balls followed by pineapple cubes. Add orange slices and kiwifruits. To this, pour in white wine, freshly squeezed orange juice and orange liqueur.
- Gently stir everything without crushing the fruits, put the lid on and transfer to the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
- A few hours later, add the strawberries, ice cubes and lemon-lime soda. Gently stir until well mixed and serve immediately.
