White Sangria Recipe (1)

After what seemed like two solid weeks of nothing but grey skies and a pounding rain, the clouds have lifted and we are looking at a stretch of days in the mid to upper 70’s here in Pittsburgh. The air smells fresh – flowers, fresh-cut grass, and spring is in the air. A bright warmth that only the spring can bring before the air gets weighed down by the heat and humidity of summer. These are the days that get me daydreaming about summer nights. And one of my favorite things about summer nights is sitting outside and enjoying a cold refreshing beverage. This sangria fits that scenario like a glove.

Fresh, fruity and with a punch of Grand Marnier, this will give your summer days (and nights) a definite kick.

White sangria does well with a medium-bodied fruity white wine, such as a Pinot Grigio or an un-oaked Chardonnay. I went with a white wine from the local winery (Narcisi Winery for those in the Pittsburgh area!).

White Sangria Recipe (3)

The wine (called Rosabella) is described as a Pinot Grigio-style blend with soft rose aromas and butter and citrus overtones, which I thought was a great choice for this sangria recipe.

This takes 15 minutes to throw together (some slicing, a little mashing and a quick mix!) and after a short chill in the fridge you’ll be ready to sip away!

Cheers to a wonderful summer!

Ingredients

  • 2 large oranges, 1 cut into ¼-inch-thick slices, the other 1 juiced
  • 1 large lemon, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier, or other orange-flavored liquor, i.e. Triple Sec or Cointreau
  • 1 bottle white wine (Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay, preferably), chilled, (750-mL )
  • 6 to 8 ice cubes

Instructions

  • 1. Add orange and lemon slices and sugar to a large pitcher; mash gently with a wooden spoon until the sugar dissolves and the fruit releases some juice but is not completely crushed, about 1 minute. Stir in orange juice, liquor and wine. Refrigerate at least 2 hours (up to 8 hours).

  • 2. Before serving, add ice cubes and stir briskly to redistribute settled fruit and pulp; serve immediately.

    Great recipe. Made this for a family get together, and it was a hit.

    For summer parties I will often make both just in case someone who doesn’t like red wine pops up. Great stuff!

    I love sangria! I usually make red but white sounds like the perfect way to kick-off the summer season. I just made this and I’m impatiently waiting for it to chill :) Thanks for posting!

    I’m off to Barcelona in a few weeks’ time and hoping to taste plenty of Sangria while I’m there. Sometimes I find the red wine a little cloying and heavy so this white version is the perfect alternative. I don’t think I’d want to completely replace my traditional Sangria recipe but lovely to have a second option on file, thank you!

  5. RisaG Reply

    I love sangria. Haven’t had it in many years. This looks very good.

  6. Julie Trekker Reply

    This was a first for me, always loved the red, but I’m converting! Super easy to throw together, a tasty, light and inexpensive cocktail. Thanks for posting this recipe!

  7. Tracy Reply

    Love this version of sangria! I have been loving the change in weather too…finally some nice, sunny days in place of all the rain!!

  8. Lisa @ The Cooking Bride Reply

    Oh, how funny . . .my husband and I were just talking about making this over the weekend! I guess warmer weather inspires!

  9. Felice Reply

    This sounds like it would hit the spot on a hot afternoon. I may just have to make a batch soon to sip on whilst I catch up on my reading. Thanks!

  10. Mindy Reply

    That looks like something I’d just dive head first into! Yowsa! Beautiful.

  11. Kelly @ Kell's Kitchen Reply

    I love sangria, but I’ve never had white sangria. I’m going to try this! SOON ;-)

  12. Happy When Not Hungry Reply

    This looks like the perfect drink to come home to after a long day at work! Love it :-)

    Gosh, don’t remember the last time I had Sangria, this looks perfect.

  14. Michelle Reply

    Ah! . . .the Narcisi Winery . . . what a great summer hangout! I can not wait to try this white sangria. I don’t think I have ever had a white sangria, but I do love white wine (& Narcisi’s Rosabella is very nice). So, this will be at the top of my list and perfect timing for Memorial Day weekend! Thanks, Michelle, for the recipe.

    Cheers to summer time :)

    What if i use grapefruit instead of orange? Foolish idea or acceptable? Personally i don’t mind
    try and let me know!

    • Michelle Reply

      If you like grapefruit, I say go for it!

  17. Sallie @ Texas Cottage Reply

    I never had white sangria. I am more of a red wine drinker, but I think this would be perfect on a hot summer day. Sounds delicious!

  18. Cookin' Canuck Reply

    Sitting outside on a warm summer’s night, sipping one of these beautiful cocktails, is one of the many reasons I am excited for warmer weather to arrive. Bookmarking these, Michelle.

    Now you are talking my language :)

    Lovely refreshing drink and your photos of it are just fabulous!

  21. Hannah at FleurDeLicious Reply

    Looks so refreshing! I’m counting down the days until our apartment pool opens…I’ll definitely be bringing a batch of this when it finally does. Also, I always love adding sliced peaches to sangria…I know they’re not in season yet, but when they are, it sounds like they’d go perfectly with this recipe!

    • Michelle Reply

      I had my mind on peaches too! Will definitely be adding those once in season!

  22. gabby@foodchowdown Reply

    I <3 anyone who can make white sangria. I've been dying to make my sangria recipe that I got from a cooking class but haven't had an occasion to make it.

  23. Amy @ Gastronome Tart Reply

    Love white sangria! Thanks for the recipe! Perfect going into spring!

    Such a pretty drink!

    I’m not a fan of most sangrias, but this one is one I would probably like, a lot. it looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I hope you enjoy the sun and warmth. I think we sent it your way because we’re stuck with the rain and clouds today.

  26. Erin Reply

    This looks so refreshing. Too bad it is not even 10:00 AM ! Bookmarking for a more appropriate time :) Thanks!

  27. Shawnda Reply

    I love white sangria. It’s a perfect patio drink. This is almost exactly how I make it, too! Although I get a little wimpy and hit it with some fizzy water. There’s just something about the bubbles…

  28. Ashley Reply

    Sangria is one of my “go to” drinks when out to dinner. My favorite part is eating the fruit of course!

  29. Katrina Reply

    I recently made red sangria with a similar recipe! The oranges really add a nice flavour. Yum!

  30. Dana@TheSundaySweet Reply

    I’m a sucker for Sangria. Can’t wait to try this on a warm Sunday afternoon. Thank you :)

    love,dana
    p.s. I’ve got $ to sur la table to give away. come stop by and say hi.

  31. Erin Reply

    I’m not usually a fan of white wine, but this sounds so good!

  32. Melissa Reply

    Wow! That looks perfectly refreshing! I usually go for a red sangria, but I might actually branch out now! :)

  33. The Food Hound Reply

    The BH and I don’t care for white wine BUT I make my white sangria with bubbly and it’s awesome!! Love using the Grand Marnier!!

  34. Colleen @ What's Baking in the Barbershop?! Reply

    Love white sangria! Can’t wait for the warmer weather to arrive to enjoy beverages like this! Or, maybe I won’t wait… :)

  35. Hezzi-D Reply

    White sangria is my favortie summer drink. I’ve never thought to add Grand marnier to the mix, but it sounds great! I also like adding in limes and pineapple:-)

  36. Gwenevere Reply

    We went from cool and rainy to way hot and humid! What happened to the mild spring warm up? The sunny look of this drink almost makes humidity seem like it’s not so bad.

  37. Jessica Reply

    Ok, I’ll bring the chips and guacamole if you bring the Sangria. Deal?

    ;-) Love the glasses by the way!

  38. Amanda (Eating Up) Reply

    I LOVE sangria in all flavors!

  39. Jen of My Tiny Oven Reply

    If we ever get some sun here, making this is going to be first on my list of things to make! Looks so refreshing!

  40. Jen @ the baked life Reply

    Yum looks delicious. It’s been nothing but grey here too, can’t wait for spring to finally arrive.

    Never made white sangria, usually buy the ultra-classy bottle of boones red sangria. I will have to give this a try
