White Sangria Recipe with Sparkling Wine and Summer Fruits
A traditional Spanish sangria is made with red wine and fruit, but it can feel heavy and heady in a sweltering Australia summer. This refreshing white sangria recipe makes a lighter sangria with sparkling white wine and summer fruits, such as citrus fruits (orange, lemon and lime) and summer berries (strawberries and blue berries). But it’s nothing if not versatile: substitute the sparkling wine for white wine and sparking mineral water, and use whatever fruit you can source.
