The Tastiest and easiest white Sangria and Virgin Sangria Ever- this recipe is bound to be your summer entertaining favorite! It is always the first thing to go at our parties!
With summer coming up, I have been dying to re-share one of my favorite drink recipes ever- my super-simple White Sangria and Virgin Sangria. It is quick, delicious, and SO good- and it is always a massive hit! We always run out of this drink quickly- and people always ask me the recipe. It is bound to be one of your favorite go-to party drinks!
Today I am going to share the secret to perfect parties.... with the Tastiest and Easiest White Sangria & Virgin Sangria... ever!! Pull up a glass, pour the goods, and sip away my friends- because this recipe is bound to become one of your new favorites.
The thing I love most about this drink is that you can completely adapt it to what you have on hand. Have some leftover sodas or juices? Toss 'em in! Have some fruit you need to get rid of? Toss it in! Want to change it up and try a different flavor? No problem- just check out the recipe below. I've outlined a bunch of flavors to get you going!
Also, I'm making a white sangria. If you'd like a red Sangria, swap the white wine or apple/white grape juice for Red wine and dark grape juice. Easy peasy!
I also made some notes for you to adapt your own mix as you'd like- maybe a little less alcoholic, less sweet, more sweet, with an herb-y kick- whatever!
This is a fabulously easy drink that you can throw together in just a few minutes and chill ahead of your dinner party- and both the alcoholic and virgin versions are very affordable, fresh, and refreshing!
