Some people call Sangria a ‘hug in a glass’! I would agree.

Let’s face it, the holidays wouldn’t be the same without a festive cocktail. Whether it’s Christmas, New Year’s, or Fourth of July, every party should start with a signature cocktail such as this White Sangria Sparkler. Cheers, clink, clink!

White Sangria Sparkler

I much prefer white wine over red almost all year and with almost any food. I like slightly sweeter wines, but that’s my personal preference. Red are ‘growing’ on me more and more. Mirassou is my go-to wine for easy holiday entertaining. Their family of premium wines displays bright, fruit-forward flavors and pair well with many of your favorite holiday dishes and perfectly in my White Sangria Sparkler.

I like to have a signature cocktail for parties, and sangria is fun and festive and cuts costs while still serving an alcoholic beverage. When I first started making sangria for parties, I used white wines because they were my favorite. White Sangria Sparkler is still my favorite. You can mix up the fruit if you prefer, but this is my favorite combination. When I make this during the Christmas holidays, I like the addition of pomegranates or cranberries, but it works equally as well in the summer without them.

I’m hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater party this year and have been testing Sangria recipes. I know my job is so hard. This mix is the perfect balance of sweet, fizzy, fruity, and tart. Plus, just look at it! Isn’t it a beautiful, festive cocktail?

Taste profile

I used Mirassou Chardonnay for my White Sangria Sparkler. It has a wide appeal and a fruit-forward flavor.

Taste Profile: Mirassou Chardonnay exhibits intense aromas and flavors of stone fruits such as peaches and nectarines, as well as tropical fruits like pineapple. Secondary flavors of melon, pears, citrus, floral, and vanilla notes combine with a creamy mouth feel which culminate in a pleasantly concentrated finish.

Mirassou wines are a great choice for seasonal gatherings, recipe pairings, or the perfect host/hostess gift. At around $12 a bottle, it won’t break the bank either.

I like to make my cocktails festive. For this cocktail, coat the rosemary in sugar to resemble snow for a festive holiday cocktail.
