Summer in a pitcher, this sangria combines crisp white wine, lemon-flavored liqueur and lemon soda with a bright, herbal cilantro syrup for a decidedly adult version of lemonade.

Reviews
I made this on a whim even though there were no reviews. It came out perfect! I used about half of the cilantro since I was unsure if it’d be too overpowering. It was very well balanced and refreshing. We didn’t finish it all in one day, so as it sat in the fridge the cilantro started to wilt. Next time I will either make less or scoop out the cilantro the second day.
