White Sangria is the perfect Summer drink that’s light, fruity, and refreshing. An easy crisp cocktail perfect for sharing.
I’ve already shared my recipe for classic red sangria, and now the Drink Recipe is getting a fresh spin with this white wine version. Enjoy with Grilled Shrimp or Slow-Cooker Honey Lime Chicken.
Sabrina’s White Sangria Recipe
Prepare a pitcher of White Sangria to share and enjoy at your next summer cookout. It’s the perfect drink recipe for your backyard on a hot day. I love making this for parties and get togethers because it only takes a few minutes of prep work. Then, you let it sit in the fridge for a few hours so that the fruit can release it’s flavor for a wonderfully infused drink. It tastes great with seafood dishes like Shrimp Scampi Pasta, or appetizers such as Peach Berry Caprese Salad or a Classic Cheese Board. Read below to see which wines I prefer to use for this drink.

Chef’s Note
Because the recipe contains so many sweet fruit flavors, I like to pair it with a more dry and crisp wine to balance them out. An un-oaked Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, or Pinot Grigio will work beautifully.

Can this be made ahead of time?
Sangria is the perfect make ahead drink recipe because the fruit slices will infuse the alcohol with more flavor the longer it sits in the mixture. You can mix the wine and other alcoholic ingredients with the fruit up to 48 hours in advance. Then, leave in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Just wait to add the seltzer until right before drinking, or it will go flat.
How to Store
- Store: It can stay good in the fridge for 2-3 days without adding the sparkling water. Once you’ve added the seltzer, it’s best to drink it within a day as the carbonation will continue to get flat.
- Freeze: To keep fresh for longer, you can freeze it. Pour into a ziplock bag or another freezer-safe container with enough space for it to expand. Make sure it’s sitting upright so that it won’t spill. It should keep well for 3 months. Let it thaw in the fridge, mix the ingredients, then top with seltzer to serve.
Tips & Tricks
- Muddle fruit
- To enhance the fruity flavor of the cocktail, you can add some of the peach, apple, orange, and strawberry slices to the base of your pitcher and use a wooden spoon to muddle them. Muddling will release extra fruit juice into the mix.
- Allow time
- Give the wine and fruit mixture at least 2 hours to sit in the fridge. This not only chills the drink, but it also allows the alcohol to get infused with amazing flavor from the fresh fruit.
