4.7 from 112 reviews

A refreshing and flavorful Pear Ginger White Sangria, combining crisp Riesling with fresh pears, zesty ginger, and a splash of ginger brandy for a light and aromatic summer drink.

Ingredients

Scale

Wine Base

  • 1 750ml bottle of Riesling

Fruit and Flavorings

  • 3 pears, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 orange, cut into rounds
  • 1 piece of fresh ginger, 2 inches long, peeled and thinly sliced

Alcohol

  • 1/2 cup ginger brandy

Instructions

  1. Prepare the fruit: Wash the pears and orange thoroughly. Cut the pears into 1-inch cubes and slice the orange into rounds, setting them aside for the sangria.
  2. Slice the ginger: Peel a 2-inch piece of fresh ginger and thinly slice it to release its spicy, aromatic flavor into the drink.
  3. Combine ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of Riesling. Add the cubed pears, orange rounds, sliced ginger, and 1/2 cup of ginger brandy to the pitcher.
  4. Mix and chill: Stir gently to combine all ingredients. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and infuse beautifully.
  5. Serve: Once chilled, stir again gently and serve the sangria over ice, ensuring each glass gets a mix of fruit and ginger slices for garnish and flavor.

Notes

  • For a sweeter sangria, add a tablespoon of honey or simple syrup before chilling.
  • Use fresh, ripe pears for the best flavor and texture.
  • Letting the sangria chill overnight enhances the infusion of flavors.
  • This sangria pairs wonderfully with light appetizers and summer meals.
  • To make it more festive, add sparkling water or soda just before serving for a fizzy twist.
