Does anything say ‘summer’ quite like sipping a glass of delicious sangria? I think not! Not only is sangria so easy to whip up, but it’s also a great drink to serve to guests — especially at the last minute. And you can still make it even if you only have white wine on hand, hence the white sangria! We added a fun twist on this classic recipe though — burnt sage syrup! It definitely adds a really delicious herbal flavor to the mix that is unexpected and fun.
Sage & Cranberry White Sangria Recipe
Does anything say ‘summer’ quite like a glass of delicious sangria?
Ingredients
- 1 bottle vino verde
- 1/4 cup brandy or apple jack brandy
- 1/2 cup burnt sage syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cranberry juice
- 2 oz fresh orange juice
- fresh fruits, such as citrus, cherries, peaches, applies, and blackberries
- club soda or 7up
- sage for garnish
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except club soda or 7up into a pitcher. Let sit 24 hours (it can also be served immediately, but the fruits won’t be as boozy tasting). Pour individual servings into a glass with ice until 3/4 full, then top with club soda or 7up.
