Nothing says summer like a crisp glass of strawberry mango sangria. Summer is one of the best seasons for fruit, and this drink puts all the beautiful summer fruits on full display.
Strawberry mango sangria is perfect if you are hosting a brunch, girl’s night, or any other event because you can make the pitcher of sangria ahead of time. I used to think sangria was really hard to make. Surely something so pretty and delicious takes tons of time to make, right? Wrong! It couldn’t be simpler!
What wine should i use for white sangria?
The simple answer is whatever you like! Pinot Grigio or Riesling is commonly used because they tend to be drier. If you want your white sangria to be sweeter, you could use a Grenache or Moscato. You can even add some Prosecco if you want some bubbles.
Sauvignon Blanc is my favorite varietal of white wine, so that is what I went with. Sauvignon Blancs can vary from dry to sweet, so you’ll want to be sure to chose one that matches the flavor palette you are going for.
What fruit should i put in White sangria?
Just like the wine selection, you can choose whatever fruit you like! Lemons, oranges, and limes are common choices. Your best bet is to use fruits that are in season, so I chose strawberries and mangos to go with the citrus fruits.
Other common mix ins for white sangria:
- Peaches
- Nectarines
- Blueberries
- Blackberries
- Cherries (pitted)
- Grapes
- Kiwi
- Pineapple
- Watermelon
- Apples
- Raspberries
