After a busy day of working in the garden I like to relax on our deck. I was looking for a refreshing summer drink to enjoy during the hot summer weather we’ve been having. A summer drink that was light and refreshing. This sangria gets its name because it is made with white wine rather than red and presented in a clear glass pitcher. Perfect for enjoying on a hot summer night.
See-Through Sangria
1 bottle dry white wine
½ cup orange liqueur
¼ cup sugar
1 unpeeled lime, thinly sliced
1 unpeeled lemon, thinly sliced
1 unpeeled orange, thinly sliced
1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
1 ½ cups halved green grapes
2 cups chilled sparkling water
Whole strawberries for garnishing
Combine the wine, liqueur, sugar and fruit in a large pitcher and refrigerate overnight.
Before serving stir to make sure the sugar is dissolved. Pour into cocktail or wine glasses filled with ice and top off with sparkling water.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry. Slice the strawberry partway, from the bottom up and place one on the rim of each glass. 
I also put a few frozen strawberries in the glass as well. There is nothing more enjoyable than sitting on the deck on a hot summer evening enjoying this light refreshing sangria. Serves 6-8

Looks yummy. I make a Sangria, a little different from yours and I use a Rose’. So refreshing for these hot summer days.

Oh my – that looks so good! I am one of “those” people who prefer a white or rose to red wine, and so I am going to try out this recipe soon. Since the jar is so pretty with all the colorful fruit, it would be perfect to serve at a party. Thank you so much!
