Ingredients
- White wine: The base of your drink, a dry white wine that isn’t too sweet, like chardonnay.
- Ginger simple syrup: Made with three simple ingredients: sugar, water, and fresh ginger root. Sweetens the drink while adding a punch of fresh ginger flavor.
- Orange, lemon, and lime juice: Citrusy, bright, acidic, fresh, delicious!
- Ginger beer: Much more intense in flavor than ginger ale, it has somewhat of a spicy finish.
How to Make White Wine Ginger Beer Sangria
Start your White Wine Ginger Beer Sangria by making your ginger simple syrup. Add equal parts sugar and water into a saucepan, then warm over the stove and stir.
Once the sugar has all dissolved, add the ginger root and let simmer for about a minute. Then remove from heat, and let it cool while infusing the ginger flavor.
Once cooled to room temperature, strain your simple syrup into a measuring cup or bowl.
Then in a large pitcher, pour in your choice of white wine. I added orange slices for fun, and is totally optional.
Then add in your fresh or store-bought orange juice.
Next you’ll add the fresh lemon and lime juice, being sure to catch any seeds that try to escape.
Follow it with the ginger simple syrup that you made, now cooled entirely.
Finish her off with the ginger beer, and give it a gentle stir.
When ready to serve, pour into glasses filled with ice.
Garnish with fresh orange, lemon, or lime slices for fun, and enjoy you White Wine Ginger Beer Sangria!
