Serve this light and refreshing white wine sangria recipe all summer!
Always a hit for July 4th celebrations, picnics, BBQ, and outdoor cookout parties. Made with sweet summer fruit and white wine, for this recipe I used strawberries, raspberries, pineapple, blueberries, and apples to get a “red white and blue” look.
How patriotic are the little white stars?

How To Make A White Sangria Recipe:
- Slice strawberries and cut pineapple chunks, place in pitcher.
- Add blueberries and raspberries.
- Make the stars for garnish, squeeze lemon juice over the stars to keep them from turning brown.
- Pour a bottle of wine into the pitcher.
- Mix, cover, and chill in the fridge overnight.
- Serve in glasses on ice with straws, and flag pics, and white apple stars for garnish.
- Optional: Add a splash of 7up or sparkling water when serving.
How To Make Star Garnish:
Now for those cute stars…
The white apple stars are cut from 1/4″ thick round slices of apple. I used Granny Smith apples and placed the cut apple stars in a small bowl with freshly squeezed lemon juice to keep them a white color.
Just pour the stars and the lemon juice right in the pitcher, and garnish with a couple of stars on each glass of white sangria!
What Other Fruit To Use for White Wine Sangria?

For Sangria to be well…Sangria, it should have at least two different fruits with one citrus fruit. Classic Spanish red wine sangria is made with red wine, lemons, limes, and oranges.
Use a crisp dry white wine, a sauvignon blanc or pinot grigio works well for this white sangria as it is lighter than chardonnay. I have used Chardonnay many times and it is delicious as well.
The basic idea of Sangria is to slice fruit so it infuses into the WHITE wine. Let it chill in the fridge overnight in a large pitcher at least 5 hours so the fruit can infuse. If you like it sweeter, stir in some sugar, apple juice, simple syrup, ginger ale or 7up.
Happy July 4th Everyone!

I just love making up a batch of sangria and this one has so many variations to play with. What’s your favorite? I have only used white wine and 7-Up so far but I’m curious about trying the red wine and adding champagne or Prosecco to the white in place of the 7-up. So many choices!
White apple stars! What a brilliant, fun twist. I think I’ll try mixing up a batch of this for our next BBQ.
Fun little stars aren’t they? Just takes a couple seconds and makes the sangira so July 4th!
I used champagne and it was a hit. Very festive.
