Hi all of you friends, as you can see, today GialloZafferano has moved to the pool side and in such a hot day, all I long for is a refreshing white sangria. The white sangria is an international cocktail, born in Catalonia, which is made with sparkling wine, spices and seasonal fruit. Let's see together what ingredients we'll need:
• 3 pints (1,5 lt) of dry sparkling wine (or champagne)
• 1 shot of dry vodka
• 3 cinnamon sticks
• 6 cloves
• 2 nectarines • 2 oranges
• 2 lemons
• 1 cantaloupe of about 2 lbs (1 kg)
• just over ½ cup (120 g) of sugar
• plenty of ice
Let's make together the white sangria:
First of all squeeze an orange and a lemon, cut half of the remaining orange into slices, and the other half into cubes, as well as the remaining lemon. Wash the nectarines with their skin on and dice them, as well as the cantaloupe. If you have a melon baller, you can also scoop out round balls of flesh.
Pour the sparkling wine into a large bowl, add the sugar, and stir to dissolve. Now add the spices... the vodka... the citrus juices... and, little by little, all the fruit. After that, cover the sangria and let it macerate for at least 6 hours or, even better, for a whole night.
After such time, you can serve your white sangria by adding ice cubes, so from Sonia and Giallozafferano, cheers and see you next videorecipe!
