This summer sangria is refreshing, light, and, yes – a little potent. I love how easy it is to put together and how easy it is to sip on – especially while lounging outside with friends on a warm summer evening. I love how the strawberries and the mango get all boozy after marinating in wine and rum.

The Story Behind the Recipe

Never enough sangria recipes, that’s what I always say. Okay … I don’t always say it. Like, when I wake up in the morning, I don’t yawn then stretch then holler, “Never enough sangria recipes!” Nor do I greet long-lost friends with a hug and instant sangria talk. Or, say, when my daughter asks for a chocolate chip cookie 10 times within the span of 3 seconds (it’s possible!), I don’t snap back with “NEVER ENOUGH SANGRIA RECIPES!”

Well – okay. I usually don’t.

This Summer Sangria with juicy strawberries and mangoes is yet another riff on my Strawberry Sangria. Can’t stop, won’t stop!

I love that I can have my cocktail and eat it too!

NEVER ENOUGH SANGRIA RECIPES!

Summer Sangria Ingredients

  • White wine – This light, white sangria starts with white wine. I like dryer white wines in my sangria. Sauvignon Blanc is perfect, or a light Chardonnay is nice.
  • Strawberries – Fresh + sliced.
  • Mangoes – Peeled and diced. They’re SO good in sangria!
  • Lemons – For a bright, sunshiny touch.
  • Rum – Go with a light/white rum.
  • Lemon-lime soda – Great for lightening up sangria and adding some sweetness.
  • Fresh mint – For garnish. Optional, but pretty!

How to Make It

Just add all the ingredients except for the soda to a pitcher and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours. To serve, fill a glass about 3/4 full of fruit and sangria then top off with soda.
