Sangria’s roots trace back centuries to Spain and Portugal, where red wine was mixed with fruits, brandy, and sweeteners. The modern White Sangria, or 'Sangria Blanca,' is a more recent twist, gaining popularity in the late 20th century as drinkers sought lighter, more refreshing variations. Its rise coincided with the global boom in white wine appreciation and the trend of creative, fruit-forward cocktails. Today, White Sangria is a staple at summer gatherings and tapas bars worldwide.
Garnish each glass with a fresh citrus wheel or a few of the marinated fruit slices from the pitcher. This not only looks beautiful but adds a burst of fresh aroma and flavor with each sip.
