This White Sangria Recipe comes together fast with just a few ingredients and is so perfect for entertaining – refreshing, delicious, and so easy to make!
Beside how easy sangria recipes are to make, the other thing I truly love about them is that they are meant to be shared.
I made this white sangria for my neighbors for our first book club meeting. It is refreshing, and perfect for a summer’s day. White Sangria is a backbone fall back recipe – once you learn it, you can take all sorts of great twists on it.
And you have a guest coming over who loves red wine, make them my Red Sangria!
WHITE SANGRIA INGREDIENTS
This white sangria recipe is made with vodka and it could not be more simple.
- Start out with a white wine that you love. I used a Pinot Grigio, and the gentle sweetness of it paired perfectly the other ingredients.
- Next, citrus vodka. I really like Eddy’s Lemon Vodka. It is sweet, without being over powering.
- Add some orange liqueur. I love using Cointreau.
- Then add simple syrup. Taste the recipe before adding simple syrup. If it is sweet enough without it for you, skip it. You can always put it on the side if your book club friends like their drinks sweeter.
- Finally, fresh fruit! For this, I used fresh oranges, lemons, raspberries, and sliced strawberries.
WHAT ALCOHOL TO USE
As mentioned above, I went with a citrus vodka for this recipe, but that’s not a hard fast rule.
You could also use Brandy or Rum and it would work great in this recipe.
TIPS & TRICKS
Though this recipe is so easy, there are a few things that help it out a little bit.
- Add only half the simple syrup to start. You can leave the rest on the side for guests to sweeten their drink (as suggested above).
- Chill for at least an hour. This drink is best cold.
- Buy extra fruit for serving. If you let this sit overnight the fruit will deteriorate. Buy extra for glasses that will look fresh and beautiful.

We made this over the weekend and it turned out great! The only change we made was adding a bottle of moscato. So refreshing!

I have made this 3 times, and making it now for a birthday dinner party this evening, exactly per your recipe and it is always the biggest hit!!! Truly the best summer sangria! Thanks!
I’m so glad you liked it Kristen! Thank you for taking the time to come back and tell me!
Kiera says
Is there anyway to make this virgin?
Sure! Maybe some NA sparkling wine, replace the vodka with orange juice, and then taste it at the end to see if you need a little more simple syrup since we are cutting the Cointreau.
Apurva says
I stumbled upon this recipe last year, seeing Vodka in it intrigued me. I had to try it and I’m so glad I did. This was huge a hit at my summer party, I ran out even though I had quadrupled this recipe. Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that!

Can I add Prosecco or club soda?
It isn’t necessary, but yes, of course!
