Simple White Wine Sangria Ingredients :
- 3 medium oranges, wedged, or 1 cup orange juice
- 1 lemon (approximately 2 3/8 inches in diameter), wedged

How To Make Simple White Wine Sangria Recipe :
Gather all the ingredients.
Squeeze the juice from the citrus wedges into the pitcher, removing any seeds if possible. Add the wedges to the pitcher. Alternatively, if using orange juice, pour it directly into the pitcher.
Pour the chilled white wine into the pitcher with the citrus fruit.
If using, add the brandy and sugar. Stir thoroughly to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate the sangria. Just before serving, add the ginger ale or club soda to maintain its effervescence.
Serve the sangria cold and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Full Bottle White Wine: Choose a dry, crisp wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Albariño for the best flavor.
Macerate Fruit: Let the fruits soak in the wine for at least 2 hours to fully infuse their flavors.
Serve Over Ice: Always pour over ice to keep the drink light, cool, and refreshing.
Top with Sparkle: Add soda water or sparkling wine before serving for extra fizz.
Adjust Sweetness: Stir in sugar or simple syrup if you prefer a sweeter sangria.
