Ingredients

• 750 ml white wine, cold
• 23 oz sparkling orange lemonade, like San Pellegrino Aranciata (2 cans)
• 2 passionfruits
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1 orange, quartered and thinly sliced
• 2 limes, sliced
• 1/2 pineapple, peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch batons

Ingredient Notes

1. White Wine:

I use a dry white wine for sangria like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Sweet wines make the drink too sugary.

2. Sparkling Orange Lemonade:

Aranciata Lemonade brings citrus fizz without syrups. Lemon-Lime Soda works if needed.

3. Passionfruit:

The pulp and passion fruit seeds add tart flavor. Scoop everything in.

4. Orange Juice:

Fresh juice gives better flavor than bottled.

5. Pineapple:

Fresh pineapple holds its shape and adds natural sweetness.

6. Limes and Oranges:

Thin slices release flavor fast and look great in the pitcher.

Direction

1. Chill the white wine before starting. Cold wine keeps the sangria crisp.

2. Add pineapple, orange slices, and lime slices to a large pitcher.

3. Cut the passionfruits in half. Scoop the pulp and seeds into the pitcher.

4. Pour in the orange juice. Stir gently to coat the fruit.

5. Add the cold white wine. Stir once more.

6. Right before serving, pour in the sparkling orange lemonade.

7. Give one slow stir. Taste and adjust with ice or extra citrus if needed.

8. Serve right away or chill for up to 2 hours for stronger fruit flavor.

My Tip: Add the soda at the end. This keeps the sangria lively and fresh in every glass.
