Sangria is a delicious cocktail to serve friends and guests when you’re entertaining. It’s really easy to make, it looks pretty in a clear glass pitcher, and I love that I can use up fruits that are becoming overripe, instead of throwing the fruit away. Other combinations of fruits or berries can be used in these sangrias such as peaches, plums, or apples, according to the season. However, for the white sangria, make sure to keep the citrus fruits included for great color and flavor.
