Ingredients

This recipe uses a mix of wine, fruit, and citrus to create a balanced and refreshing drink. Each ingredient helps build layers of flavor.

• 1 bottle of white wine a crisp variety like Sauvignon Blanc works well
• 4 oz mango juice
• 4 oz orange liqueur like Cointreau or Grand Marnier
• 1 mango peeled and sliced

The white wine forms the base and keeps the drink crisp. Mango juice adds a smooth tropical sweetness, while orange liqueur brings depth and a hint of citrus.

Fresh fruit is key here. Strawberries and mango add natural sweetness, while lime and lemon slices brighten the overall flavor.

Equipment and Glassware

You do not need much to make this sangria, which is part of what makes it so convenient.

• Large Pitcher
• Bar Spoon
• Knife and Cutting Board
• Wine glasses or stemless glasses

A large pitcher is essential so the fruit has room to infuse. Wine glasses help show off the color and fruit, but any glass works.

How to Make It

This sangria is simple to prepare, but the chilling time is what really brings the flavors together.

1. Wash the strawberries and slice the mango limes and lemon
2. In a large pitcher combine the white wine mango juice and orange liqueur. Stir well to mix
3. Add the sliced mango strawberries limes and lemon to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine the flavors with the liquid
4. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the fruit to infuse the sangria with its natural sweetness and aromas
5. When ready to serve stir the sangria well. Pour over ice in glasses making sure to include some of the fruit slices in each glass
6. For a bubbly touch top each glass with a splash of sparkling water
7. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a lime wheel for an extra touch of summer

Letting it chill is key. The longer it sits, the better the flavor becomes.
