Like my pretty new logo? Here's the plan, every Tuesday I share a new favorite drink or shot recipe on the blog. Tuesday is the perfect day because it gives me plenty of time to recover from the taste testing on the weekend :o)
My Tried and True White Sangria
I clipped this recipe out of the St.Petersburg Times years ago and I can't count how many times I've used it since then. Buy enough ingredients to double the recipe, we almost always go through 2 or 3 pitchers. And be careful because this Sangria sneaks up on you!
1 (750 ml) bottle dry white wine, like chardonnay
1 (6 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 cup light rum
1/2 cup Triple Sec
1 (15.25 ounce) can pineapple tidbits packed in juices
1 large apple, cut into chunks
Starwberry slices, cherries, orange and lime slices or anything you'd like to use as garnish.
2 cups of lemon lime soda
Combine all ingredients in a pitcher, except for the soda, and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or overnight. When your first guests start to arrive then you can add the soda. If you like a less sweet drink, use club soda instead of Sprite.
I'll be using this often! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of white sangria! I love all the fruit!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. Where am I? This blog is such fun. Thank you for having me. I will read along with you.
ReplyDeleteI love this! but I don't think we can get frozen lemonade concentrate in the UK. any alternative you could recommend?
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to a recipe to make your own lemonade concentrate! I bet that would work, but I'd add it last and taste test as you add a little at a time.

I love sangria and am always looking for a new recipe! This one looks great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOhhh, FINALLY! I keep meaning to ask for your recipe. I <3 this blog already.
ReplyDeleteOh this sounds so good, can't wait to try it this summer! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe - I tried it last night for a girls night dinner and it was a hit. I think this may have uprooted my watermelon and strawberry sangria as my favourite! Thanks for posting the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo! I like your website very much. I am waiting for new recipes.

ReplyDeletePotentially silly question: the pineapples and apples are the only fruit that you add to the sangria before you chill it overnight right? I assume they will not get mushy? Any other garnish that I add, I should add prior to serving? Hope that makes sense :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteThanks!
The apples and pineapples won't get mushy overnight. You can add fruit like cherries, blueberries, lemon, lime, and orange slices the night before too. If you wanted to add strawberries I might wait to add that with the Sprite. They seem like they could get mushy overnight and lose their bright red color.
ReplyDeleteBut the only fruit you *need* for this recipe is the pineapple and apples! They are more than enough!
Thanks for your response!
ReplyDeleteActually, I have one other question...do you need to cover it when you chill it overnight? I am planning to buy a carafe to serve it in but those don't usually come with a cover. Unless I should put in in a pitcher that has a cover and then transfer it prior to serving?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
The carafe will be so pretty for the Sangria! Go ahead and chill in the carafe, I'd just cover it with a peice of saran wrap.
