Are you looking for a refreshing and tasty drink to enjoy on a sunny day or to wow your guests at your next party? If so, you will love this white sangria recipe that’s easy to make and bursting with fruity and citrusy flavors. It’s light, bubbly, and super easy to customize with your favorite fruits and wines.
Why You’ll Love This White Sangria Recipe
- Fruity. The fresh orange and lemon juices add great flavor and sweetness to the dry white wine and triple sec. I heartily recommend using a glass pitcher to serve these summer cocktails because the orange and lemon slices look really beautiful!
- Light and Bubbly. The soda water gives this white sangria a nice fizz and makes it less overpowering than other sangrias. You can enjoy it without feeling too tipsy or heavy.
- Customizable. Feel free to use any white wine you like. If you like to drink it, you’ll love it in white sangria! Chardonnay, pinot grigio, or sauvignon blanc are all great options. Feel free to add other fruits too, such as apples, peaches, or berries, to suit your taste and the season.
- Perfect for Any Occasion. Whether you’re hosting a brunch, a barbecue, a picnic, or a dinner party, this’ll be a hit with your guests. You can make white wine sangria ahead of time and serve it chilled or over ice.
What You’ll Need
- Fruit: Freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice bring all the bright, citrusy flavor, while the slices make it pretty and refreshing. Definitely don’t skip the fruit because it’s the heart of the sangria!
- Alcohol: A dry white wine keeps things crisp, while a splash of Triple Sec adds sweet citrusy depth. If you don’t have Triple Sec, any orange liqueur or even a little orange juice is okay to use.
- Sugar: Totally optional. If your wine or fruit is on the tart side, a little sugar helps balance things out. Taste before you chill and adjust as needed.
- Club Soda: For that fizzy, refreshing finish! Add it just before serving so your sangria stays bubbly. You can also swap in lemon-lime soda if you want extra sweetness.
How to Make Sangria
- Combine. In a large pitcher, combine orange juice, lemon juice, triple sec and sugar and mix until it’s well combined.
- Fizz. Add the bottle of wine and soda water and stir well. Enjoy that fizz!
- Garnish. Slice up some orange and lemon slices and garnish your pitcher, glasses, or both. Serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use Fresh Fruit. The fruit is the star of this drink, so use ripe and juicy fruits that are in season. You can also freeze some fruit slices to use as ice cubes and keep your sangria cold without diluting it.
- Adjust the Sweetness. Depending on your preference and the sweetness of your wine and fruit, you may want to add more or less sugar to your sangria. Taste it before serving and adjust as you like. You can also use honey or agave nectar instead of sugar for a natural sweetener.
- Let It Rest. The longer white sangria sits in the fridge, the more the flavors will infuse and blend. Ideally, you want to make it at least 4 hours before serving, or even overnight. Just remember to add the bubbly right before serving to keep it fizzy.
What to Serve With White Sangria
White sangria is perfect for any occasion. If you’d like to pair it with some other cocktails for variety, I recommend fruity drinks like my grapefruit rum cocktail, a mimosa pitcher, or a chambord bellini.
For some food, you can always opt for something light, like a charcuterie board, some crab artichoke dip, or a baked shrimp dip. If you’re serving sangria with your main course, I’m a big fan of spicy seafood like a Spanish seafood paella, roasted mussels, or a spicy chicken dish like Peruvian chicken.
Storing Leftovers
I recommend serving sangria right away. But if you have leftovers, cover the pitcher tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the coldest part of your fridge. Use within a day.

This is amazingly refreshing. Not too sweet, with just the right amount of citrus. Every person at my party said it was a ‘keeper.’
Soooo pretty!

Sounds like the perfect summer sipper!
Triple sec + white wine! This is my kind of drink! (Methinks we would be besties after two glasses) 😀
