Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 cups melon (cantaloupe or honeydew), cubed
- 1 cup green grapes, halved
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 60 ml elderflower liqueur (optional)
- 240 ml soda water or sparkling water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 8 leaves mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
In a large pitcher, combine the cubed melon, halved grapes, and slices of lemon, lime, and orange.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruit and gently stir to coat. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the fruit to release its juices.
Pour the white wine and elderflower liqueur (if using) into the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, or up to 8 hours, to allow the flavors to meld together.
Right before serving, add the soda water or sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
