This lightly sparkling sangria Bianca full of summer fruits is wonderfully refreshing, with a slightly spicy accent. This can be well served by the BBQ or friend's drink on a sunny Sunday afternoon or a cocktail party.
Welcome, Sunday! What a nice weather to start with. Luckily. The past two weeks it was at times so dark outside that it looked like fall. Maybe that is gonna change from today?
Even my husband who does not like the sweet red sangria found this version very successful. He even started eating the fruit (but he soon stopped, because the alcohol is highly concentrated in the fruit).
- First prize is obviously a real Spanish Cava to use for your Sangria;
- If you want a non-alcoholic sangria, you replace the wine with an alcohol-free wine. These are readily available at the supermarket;
- For a refreshing accent, you can add slices of lime and/or lemon.
Do you have a cocktail party and do you want to make some pre-preparation?
- Make the sangria by following the preparations but don't add the sparkling water yet. Let the sangria become cold in the refrigerator and just before serving, add the sparkling water and ice cubes.
- After adding the sparkling water and ice cubes you can't store it for a long time.
