Sangria yes, but white. It is not a mistake, but the most famous cocktail of Catalonia!
There White sangria is the most famous cocktail of Catalonia and is a variant of the most famous red sangria.
The name sangria actually derives from sangre which in Spanish means blood because of the ruby color of the wine that is used, but nobody forbids the preparation of this fresh drink even with white wine. Indeed, if you prefer a sweeter and more delicate taste you should definitely try it!
Recipe of white Sangria
To prepare the white sangria you have to mix a liter of white wine with 130 grams of sugar and then add the fruit that is cut into slices. Then dilute with orange or lemon juice and add the same sliced citrus fruits. Complete with cinnamon sticks and cloves and, if you like, with a vanilla stick. Let the sangria rest in the refrigerator for a whole night and then dilute it with water or gazzosa or other white wine.
Prosecco
For the white version of sangria we suggest you use a sparkling wine like a prosecco, or if you want to overdo a champagne.
If you don't have bubbles or if you don't love them, still white wines will be good, as long as they are fragrant and very fruity.
Not just vodka
White sangria has an alcoholic part made of dried vodka and brandy or cognac or Cointreau.
Many prefer to add vodka to peach or melon, however, instead of simple to add even more flavor to the cocktail.
Fruit
As in the red sangria, also in this case you can use the fruit you prefer, in particular the seasonal fruit such as peaches and melon. Cut it into cubes or slices or if you have the right equipment even in balls. You can also add red fruits that will stand out and give color inside the clear drink.
How to serve white sangria
You can serve the sangria already served in glasses with fruit decorations, or in a large carafe or in a glass container for salads. You can add ice to make it even fresher and accompany it with a straw and spoon.
