Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bottle white wine
- 2 plums, sliced
- 1/2 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur
- 1 cup club soda
- Ice, for serving
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 bottle of white wine, 2 ripe plums, 1/2 cup of brandy, 1/4 cup of orange liqueur, 1 cup of club soda, and ice for serving.
- Rinse the plums under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Slice the plums into thin wedges, discarding the pits, and set them aside.
- In a large pitcher, combine the sliced plums, 1/2 cup of brandy, and 1/4 cup of orange liqueur. Stir gently to mix the ingredients, allowing the plums to infuse their flavor into the liquids for a few minutes.
- Next, pour in the entire bottle of white wine. Choose a dry white wine for the best results, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup of club soda to the pitcher for a refreshing fizz. Stir gently to incorporate the soda without losing too much carbonation.
- Fill glasses with ice to keep the sangria chilled. Pour the white wine plum sangria over the ice-filled glasses, ensuring each serving gets some of the plum slices.
- Optionally, garnish each glass with a slice of plum or a sprig of mint for a touch of elegance. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Spanish-inspired drink!
Tips
- • Choose a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for the best flavor profile • Let the plums sit in the brandy and liqueur for at least 10-15 minutes before adding wine to maximize fruit infusion • Use ripe, in-season plums for the most intense and natural sweetness • Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the sangria cool without diluting it too quickly with ice • For a more intense flavor, you can prepare the sangria a few hours in advance and let it rest in the refrigerator • Experiment with garnishes like fresh mint leaves or a cinnamon stick for added complexity • Serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful color and fruit slices
