strawberry orange white wine sangria

Hola! Writing this post with a chilled glass of this Strawberry Orange White Wine Sangria in one hand. Yes, I’ve got skills and its officially cocktail ‘o clock here.

The temperature has seriously climbed since we spoke about wine last. Remember February when we were celebrating beef stews and wintery afternoon brunches? Well, things have changed mister.

These strawberry orange white wine sangrias are refreshing, chilled, mildly sweet and fizzy and definitely the best way to beat the heat around here.


It’s a simple mix of sliced or chopped fruits, basil (yes, basil, because wait till you taste it), wine, a splash of hard liquor like brandy (we are using a splash of tequila here) and some sparkling water for a little fizz.

Most sangrias that you see are usually made with red wine which are amazing, but I think you’ll want to give this white wine sangria a try. It’s milder, has a light sweetness and tang, and is not as heavy as a red wine sangria. It’s definitely more summer.

  • 2 cups sliced Strawberries
  • 1 Orange, sliced
  • 1 cup loosely packed Basil
