❓What type of white wine should I use?

I make this summer sangria with Sauvignon Blanc or Pino Grigio, but any fruity white wine will be fine.

Look for a dry, unoaked crisp white wine. You don't need an expensive wine to make this sangria slushie, as you'll be adding lots of fruit to it. However, you'll want to choose a wine that you'd like to drink on its own!

👍🏼 Helpful Tips

Freeze organic strawberries and watermelon chunks when they are in season, so you'll have the ingredients ready to make this frozen sangria at any time of year!
Adding alcohol to frozen fruit keeps the mixture from freezing solid and leaves it in a slushie state. You can easily scoop it up and serve it in glasses. Add a spoon so you can scoop up all that boozy slush!
This sangria slushie recipe is a great way to use leftover wine!

🍽What to serve with a sangria slushie

Bring on the summer appetizers and fun finger foods! Keep it simple and offer a big bowl of tortilla chips with homemade Guacamole or Strawberry Mango Salsa. Or set out small bowls of Spanish Spiced Almonds or a platter of Prosciutto with Melon and Mint. A plate of these easy Strawberry Whipped Feta Crostini will always be welcome, too.
