Sangria Blanca is a light, fruity cocktail that’s all about white wine, fresh fruit, and simple mixers. This easy recipe lets me enjoy a refreshing and flavorful drink, perfect for warm weather or small gatherings.
I can use my favorite white wine and just pick fruits I already have at home. I like Sangria Blanca because it’s less sweet and heavy than traditional red sangria.
The taste is crisp and fresh, honestly a good choice for lunch or dinner. With just a handful of steps, I can serve a drink that looks colorful and tastes great.
Sangria Blanca Cocktail Recipe
Equipment
- Large pitcher (2 qt)
- Wooden spoon
- Paring knife
- Wine or tall glasses
Ingredients
- Dry white wine 1 bottle 750 ml
- Orange 1 sliced
- Lemon 1 sliced
- Peach or green apple 1 sliced
- Orange liqueur 1/4 cup
- Brandy 1/4 cup
- Simple syrup or honey 2–3 tbsp to taste
- Club soda optional 1 cup
- Fresh mint or berries For garnish
Instructions
- I start by washing and slicing all my fruits thinly, leaving the skin on for both flavor and color.
- The fruit slices go into the bottom of the large pitcher.
- Then, I pour the bottle of white wine over the fruit.
- If I want it sweeter, I add simple syrup or honey at this stage and stir until it dissolves.
- I gently stir with a wooden spoon to mix everything.
- At this point, I cover the pitcher and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours so the flavors blend.
- For best results, I let it chill overnight if I have time.
- Before serving, I add club soda for bubbles and give it another gentle stir.
- If preferred, I pour through a strainer to catch seeds or pulp. That’s it—pretty simple.

Tasting Notes
When I taste Sangria Blanca, I notice the flavors are light and refreshing. The wine gives a crisp and fruity base, making the drink easy to sip.
The citrus fruits, like orange and lemon, bring a gentle tartness. The berries and peach add a light sweetness without being too strong.
I like how the flavors balance; nothing feels too overpowering. I usually serve this beverage cold over ice.
The chill makes the fruit flavors even brighter and more refreshing. The bubbles from added soda or sparkling wine give a gentle fizz.
Best enjoyed during warm months, Sangria Blanca is easy to drink and not too heavy on the palate.
It’s a good match for mild cheeses, grilled chicken, or light salads.
