    White Sangria with Amaretto - Andrea Meyers

    Getting my red wine-loving husband to drink white wine is like trying to get a kid to eat spinach, so he was not exactly thrilled when I told him I was making white sangria. I talked it up, trying to get him interested in tasting something new, but he's just not a white wine kind of guy.

    I, on the other hand, enjoy white wine and felt excited about the white sangria and the chunks of delicious fruit. This recipe uses fresh plums, cherries, peaches, nectarines, oranges, and orange and lemon juice, then tops it all off with Amaretto and sparkling water, and I knew I had a winner when Michael went back for a second glass commenting on how good it tasted.

    This refreshing sangria goes well with seafood or light tapas. You can mix it up 12 hours ahead, and I love how the fruity flavors mingle with the wine when it's had some resting time, but remember to hold the sparkling water until just before serving to preserve the bubbles.

      We're 2 days from when our nights don't go lower than 80°. We both turn to white wine and this would be most welcome! Lovely Andrea.

      I came across your blog, and I love the recipes on here. This sangria sounds refreshing. I'm wondering what type of white wine is best for the recipe.

      Thanks! We used a sauvignon blanc because we had one on hand, though fruity reislings would also work. Just avoid wines that say "dry" or "very dry" on the label.

      Late Summer night, not willing to go out, we made a White Sangria from a respectable Riesling and leftover coconut rum. Fresh thin slices of nectarines, peaches and plums soaked up the rum and superfine sugar at the bottom of our Acapulco pitcher. Topped off quickly with some ice, a little sparkling water and the Riesling. It was actually quite good. More like a punch, maybe.

      I love Sangria. There's a restaurant in Tampa's Ybor city that serves a wonderful Red Sangria. I can't wait to try your recipe.
