History

White Sangria is a modern recipe. Sangria traditionally means red wine with fruit and brandy, but white and sparkling versions became popular as lighter alternatives for warm weather.

Making a batch? Scale it for a crowd, add dilution water, and see how many bottles to buy.

How are you making it? ⓘ Batching includes dilution water. Pre-batched cocktails need added water to replace the melt from stirring or shaking. We use Jeffrey Morgenthaler's standard: 18% for spirit-forward drinks, 25% for shaken.
