Fruity Summer White Sangria Recipe
My Summer White Sangria is sunshine in a glass, y’all. We’re talking crisp white wine layered with pineapple, juicy peaches, berries, and oranges: a.k.a. all the best fruits summer has to offer. A splash of peach schnapps brings sweetness and depth, while letting the fruit do all the talking. It’s light, sweet (but not too sweet!), and so refreshing when served ice-cold.

Notes
Chef's Tips for the Best Sangria
- Chill everything first. Start with chilled wine, cold fruit, and refrigerated soda so your sangria doesn’t need a mountain of ice to stay cool.
- Let it infuse, but don’t overdo it. 2 to 4 hours is the sweet spot; enough time for the flavors to meld without turning the fruit to mush or the blackberries making the sangria murky.
Make Ahead Tips
- The base (white wine, schnapps, and sturdy fruits like pineapple, peaches, and citrus) can be mixed and chilled overnight.
- For the delicate fruits, they can be added the day of.
- Don’t add the soda/ginger beer/sparkling wine until just before serving to keep it fizzy.
