While the red wine version may be more common, you can't beat the lighter, crisp refreshment of a white wine sangria, especially in the summer months. This rendition builds flavor on top of flavor, with tea-infused wine and a quick homemade syrup. Don't worry, the active prep time is minimal, the results are delicious, and it can all be made ahead of time. Cheers!

-
750ml bottle dry white wine*
*Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended -
3 Tbsp Green Tropical Green Tea
Mango-Mint Syrup

Directions

- Prepare Mango-Mint Syrup. Add syrup ingredients to a small (8-inch) saucepan. Heat over medium-low just until sugar has fully dissolved (do not boil). Remove from heat and cover; allow to steep undisturbed for 5 minutes. Strain fully to remove peppermint. Allow to cool. Yields 6 ounces

- To Serve. To a 16-ounce glass, add a few pieces of ice followed by a spoonful or two of fruit. Fill with 8 ounces of chilled sangria (about ¾-full). Top off with 2 ounces of club soda or Prosecco. Garnish as desired.
