Brunch Drink Idea: White Sangria with Prosecco

While the details are few and far between, traditional sangria can be traced back to Spain, Greece, and England (different variations), and dates back to the 18th century. Without many concrete details on the origins of the drink, many believe that the name stems from the Spanish word “sangre,” which means blood. Red wine with chopped fruit is what the sangria was first consisted of, but over the centuries, new additions and twists on the classic have become very popular as well. From adding orange juice or brandy to using different types of wines, new sangria variations are great for many occasions.

How to make White Sangria Sparklers for your friends and family

Ingredients:

1 bottle of Zonin Prosecco
1 bottle of white wine
2 fresh peaches (or frozen to help keep your drink colder longer)
2 kiwis peeled and sliced
1 cup of fresh raspberries
3 tbsp sugar (or more depending on taste)
8 sprigs of fresh mint

Directions:

In a large pitcher, combine white wine, fruit, and sugar together. Stir well to help the sugar dissolve.
Let the mix chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or more if you have time, because the flavors will be much richer the longer you can wait.
When you are ready to serve, pour mixture over ice and finish off with Prosecco, and garnish with a sprig of mint.
