Our "Summer of Sangria" continues with another basic recipe, but maybe with a twist. This could be one of the best white sangria recipes you’ve ever made.
Gather an assortment of your favorite summer fruits, slice them and place add to my signature mixture of wine, cognac, Cointreau and my fragrant mint-simple syrup. You're going to love this one!
Ingredients
1 750 ml bottle of Dry White Wine.
½ cup Cognac, (or Brandy)
¼ cup Triple Sec, (or Cointreau)
¾ cup Mint Simple Syrup, (recipe below)
½ Orange, sliced
1 Lime, sliced
1 Lemon, sliced
¾ cup Strawberries, sliced
Ice cubes
For the Mint Simple Syrup:
1 cup White Sugar
1 cup Water
1 small bunch of Mint Leaves
Instructions
1. In a pitcher, combine the simple syrup, cognac, triple sec and fruits. Chill for at least two hours. Add the wine and chill another 2 hours
2. Serve over ice and garnish with orange slice.
For the Mint-Simple Syrup:
1. Mix 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Stir until the sugar dissolves (about a minute). Turn off the heat.
2. Add the mint leaves and let it steep for an hour or so. Strain out the leaves and store in the fridge till you're ready to use it.
My White Sangria will be a guarenteed hit at your patio parties and summer get togethers. Isn't it a great "Summer of Sangria"?
Cheers!
