Description
This Limoncello Sangria is a citrusy, refreshing take on classic sangria, blending sweet Italian limoncello, crisp white wine, and fresh fruits for a drink that’s bright, zesty, and perfect for warm-weather entertaining or casual sipping.
Ingredients
1 bottle dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
1/2 cup limoncello liqueur
1 lemon, thinly sliced
1 orange, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh strawberries or raspberries
1 cup sparkling water or lemon soda
Ice cubes
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine the white wine and limoncello.
- Add the sliced lemon, orange, and berries. Stir gently.
- Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, add sparkling water or lemon soda for a fizzy finish.
- Serve over ice with extra fruit slices for garnish.
Notes
Use prosecco instead of still white wine for a sparkling twist.
Add orange juice or peach nectar for extra sweetness.
Use different fruits like peaches, pineapple, or blueberries for variety.
Make a mocktail version using white grape juice and lemon syrup.
Store sangria chilled and add fizz just before serving to maintain sparkle.
