White Sangria

One of my favorite summer drinks is, without a doubt, white sangria.  It’s cold, sweet, and fizzy.  Plus, you get the added bonus of boozy fruit at the bottom on the glass.  It’s like dessert for the cocktail course!  Who wouldn’t love that?

When I make white sangria, I almost always use peaches and peach nectar, but the rest of the recipe is up to you.  I usually change it up based on the rest of the meal and what looks best at the store.  I’ve noted what I used this time around, but please feel free to personalize to your tastes.  Cheers!

    Yum! This looks delicious! Is peach nectar hard to find? I've never heard of it before.

    Jacqueline–I've never had a tough time finding nectar. It's usually in cans in he juice aisle. Kern's is a well-known brand. Here in AZ, we so have many brands from Mexico. I like Jumex best.

    I am so inept when it comes to white sangria. For some reason I always stick with red.
