Bonjour my friends, I’m Frankie and welcome to Club Foody! During the summer, when I
sit outside on the patio to relax, I like to enjoy a cocktail. I like something fruity without being too
sweet. In the past, I’ve shared some amazing mixology recipes like Blackberry Mojito,
Spanish Sangria, Mixed Berry Margarita, and others. Now, here’s another great one to add to
this list… In today’s episode, I’ll show you how to make my
White Sangria! It’s pretty similar to the Spanish one except white wine is used
instead of red. There’s a beautiful combination of fruits making this refreshing cocktail
a popular one during the hot summer season. So my friends, let’s get mixing!
First, we’ll prep our fruits… We’ll make some watermelon balls using a small scoop
or melon baller if you prefer. We’ll do the same with our cantaloupe making the same
sized balls. Now because they’re round, although the recipe is for 1 cup each, we’ll
have to go over like 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cups. All right, let’s make the sangria. To a large
pitcher, we’ll add the watermelon balls and if there’s any accumulated juices, we’ll
add them as well, then our cantaloupe balls followed by pineapple cubes. Now, I made a
mistake and got distracted – do not add the strawberries until just ready to serve
otherwise, they’ll be soft. It’ll still be good but we want all our fruits to be somewhat firm.
Next, we’ll add orange slices cut in half and 2 firm kiwifruits peeled and sliced.
To this, we’ll pour in white wine and the one I’m using is Sawmill Creek, Sauvignon Blanc
but a nice Pinot Grigio is another great option. We’ll also pour in fresh squeezed
orange juice and some orange liqueur such as Cointreau. We’ll gently stir everything
without crushing the fruits, put the lid on and transfer to the fridge for at least 2
hours and up to 6 hours. A few hours later, we’ll add the remaining ingredients which
are 1 cup of ice cubes and some lemon-lime soda like 7Up. Technically, we should add the
strawberries at this point. We’ll gently stir until well mixed and serve immediately.
And my friends, this is our White Sangria! Extremely refreshing, this is a cocktail you’ll
definitely want to serve on a hot summer day. With a beautiful combination of fruits, this
tasty beverage is sure to please everyone! Like I always say, please drink responsibly…
I hope you give it a try soon and be sure to visit clubfoody.com for ingredient amounts,
directions and more info… Until next time my friends, cheers!
