Yummy and refreshing!  I doubled the alcohol since I wanted to make a big batch for a party.  I added lemons, oranges in the beginning, along with 1/2 liter of lemon seltzer.  Let it sit in refrigerator for about 5 hours, then added strawberries, blueberries & remaining lemon seltzer.  Everyone loved it!  Will definitely make again.

I made this for a pool party.  Light and deeply refreshing.  I made it as written.  Loved by all.  People who started out saying how they didn’t like sangria became big fans (and big drinkers).  This is a great party, picnic punch.  Will make it again and again.

I absolutely love this refreshing drink. It is a bit potent, so I add 1 cup of the OJ and Club Soda instead of the 1/2 cup. I also add raspberries, strawberries, peaches etc …whatever other fruit you may have on hand. It’s fantastic!! I like it best with a Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio.

This is my goto Sangria! I have used both red and white wine with this and its a hit every time! I also started using pomegranate juice instead of orange juice just because I have so much of it. (Pomegranate Tree! I always keep the liquor on hand you just never know when a hot day will call for a cool drink! One other thing I also change is I do not add the 7-up or soda until I actually pour it into the glass. Serve the sangria mixture on the rocks and fill the glass about half full, then add the soda to fill it to the top. This is a very potent drink so it helps by adding soda to each glass and keeps the bubbles from fizzing out!

Ellie is the best! This is my go-to drink recipe for any “fancy” party! I love how fresh and drinkable it is, but it still packs a punch. I use tonic water instead of club soda and have added a few other fruits to up the pretty level. This is a great recipe!

I’ve made a few white sangrias and this is by far my favorite. Other recipes I’ve made were good, but a bit heavy on the alcohol and resulted in people being bombed after a glass or two. This recipe is light in taste and alcohol and is perfect for a summer party. I chose to use the club soda over the lemon lime soda and followed the recommendations of other reviewers to use peach brandy in place of the brandy. Delicious!!
*I also used Ellie’s red sangria recipe which is the same, except with red wine, excellent as well.

Loved this white wine sangria. We prepared this for my daughter’s bridal shower and it was a big, big hit! Sauvignon blanc worked well in this recipe, and we found that it needed more club soda than the ingredient list calls for. We used 1/2 liter of soda – a 1/2 cup was not enough. I wonder if the 1/2 cup is a typo???

“As is”, this recipe is pretty strong to me. Had to add extra OJ to the glass. But enjoyed it very much after that.
I used a nice Sauvignon Blanc wine for the base. Maybe it was the Brandy that I did not care for.
