Best White Summer Sangria Recipe
Your new favorite summer Sangria!
Recently, we had over some old neighbors for dinner and I racked my brain for a great menu that was easy and summer-appropriate. I found an amazing recipe for some yummy white wine Sangria over at our friends at www.kitchentreaty.com. Their full recipe can be found here, but I provided a copy below.
White Strawberry-Lemon Sangria
Strawberries, lemon, apples, white wine, and rum make a perfect summer sangria that'll knock your socks off.
Yield: 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 5 hours
Total Time: 5 hours 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lemons, thinly sliced
- 1 apple, cored and sliced (any kind)
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced lengthwise
- 1 750 ml bottle white wine (a dry-ish white wine is best - I like Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay)
- 1/2 cup light rum
- 4 cups lemon-lime soda
Directions:
- Add lemon slices to a large pitcher, then the apples, then the strawberries.
- Pour the wine and rum over the top.
- Cover and place in the refrigerator for 4 - 5 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator and add the lemon lime soda. Add a few pieces of the fruit to your glass and pour sangria over to serve.

I loved all the bright colored fruits to cut up!

what's good sangria without some alcohol?!
**note: all I had on-hand was coconut rum, but
I'd reccommend a non-flavored next time... you
could definitely taste the coconut!

voila! Doesn't this just look amazing!
**note: the sprite is put in AFTER it chills for 4-5 hours... the
first time I made this i misread that step and was not a fan of the outcome!
I hope you all enjoy this light fruity drink just as much as we did! Although the girls definitely loved it more than the boys, it was a great treat on a hot summer day and the recipe was oh-so easy! Let me know in the comments below if you liked it or not!
