Sangria is a classic party beverage. You’ll love this Tropical Sangria Blanca because it’s refreshing, light, and filled with citrus flavor.
We made it to the final week of my Summer Happy Hour series, an eight week series of drink recipes featuring fresh fruits. Today I want to share with you what I consider to be the quintessential fresh fruit cocktail. You’ll love my Tropical Sangria Blanca because it comes together quickly, and can be made ahead for your next party.
You’ll need:
- A pineapple
- An orange
- A grapefruit
- A bottle of white wine
- Triple Sec
- Club soda
The great part about sangria is that you don’t really need a recipe. I know, why am I here literally giving you a recipe and then saying you don’t need one? If you’ve ever made sangria before, it’s great to have a base recipe to work from.
Once you get the hang of making sangria, you can play around with different flavors and really have fun. Try different fruits, wines, and even adding in other juices and liquors!
Try my Fall Harvest Sangria – it’s filled with apple and cinnamon flavor. Perfect for sharing around the bonfire on a cool autumn night. My Cranberry Prosecco Punch is another simple and sangria-like drink. Make this one for Christmas or New Year’s.
You are welcome to make your sangria and immediately serve it, but I prefer to make it ahead. This gives the fruits a chance to infuse more flavor into your wine. Plus, if you’re having a get together, this is one less recipe to prep that day. Win/win!
