Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the white wine, club soda, and frozen lemonade or orange juice in a large pitcher.
- Add cut-up fruits such as oranges, lemons, limes, and grapes.
- Stir well and serve cold.
Tips & Substitutions
For a refreshing twist, try adding fresh berries or sliced peaches alongside the oranges. If you prefer a sweeter sangria, consider using a flavored soda or adding a splash of simple syrup. Ensure the white wine is chilled before mixing for the best flavor. This recipe is versatile; feel free to substitute frozen lemonade with fresh lemonade or another citrus juice for a different taste profile.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sangria in chilled glasses over ice, garnished with fresh fruit slices for a colorful presentation. It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean recipes, such as Marinated Cucumbers, Onions And Tomatoes, or light appetizers like bruschetta. Perfect for summer gatherings, this sangria can be enjoyed alongside grilled dishes or light salads.
Storage & Reheating
White sangria is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It can last for up to 24 hours; however, the fruit may lose its texture and flavor over time. Avoid freezing as the soda will lose its fizz. For best results, serve cold straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of wine?
Yes, you can experiment with different white wines, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Each will impart its unique flavor, allowing you to customize the sangria to your taste. Just ensure the wine is dry to balance the sweetness of the soda and fruit.
How can I make this sangria non-alcoholic?
To make a non-alcoholic version, substitute the dry white wine with non-alcoholic wine or additional club soda. You can enhance the flavor with a splash of white grape juice or a blend of fruit juices. This way, you can enjoy a refreshing drink without alcohol while still capturing the essence of traditional sangria.
How long should I let the sangria sit before serving?
Allow the sangria to sit for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator before serving. This resting time lets the flavors meld together, enhancing the overall taste. For the best experience, prepare it a few hours in advance and serve chilled with ice and fruit garnishes.
