Make This Strawberry Orange White Wine Sangria Recipe with Downward Dog Wine Chardonnay

Who said white wine is just a summer drink? This winter, feel refreshed with a delicious glass of Strawberry Orange White Wine Sangria from My Food Story. (Which, BTW, has so much fruit in it, it’s practically healthy!)

This oh-so-sweet and citrusy sangria is just right for watching Hallmark movies by the fire, wrapping Christmas presents, or serving for a holiday brunch. It can be made with Downward Dog Wine Chardonnay, a toasty and toned wine that is 90% Chardonnay and 10% Chenin Blanc. Our Chardonnay smells like toasted brioche, baked golden apple, and beeswax, and it tastes of pineapple with subtle hints of caramel corn. It’s weighty enough for a full-bodied drinker, but otherwise has a lean, creamier front palate. It is clean, balanced, and refreshing!

To make this Strawberry Orange White Wine Sangria yourself, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1 orange, sliced with peels on
• 1 cup basil, loosely packed
• 2 limes, sliced with peels on
• 1 bottle Chardonnay white wine (or ¼ box of Downward Dog Wine Chardonnay, as each box is the equivalent of 4 bottles of wine)
• ½ cup tequila, vodka, or brandy, based on your preference
• 3 cups sparkling water or soda

Instructions:

1. In a large pitcher, add the slices of strawberries, oranges, and lime. Pour basil on top.
2. Pour tequila and Chardonnay over the fruit and stir.
3. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight if possible. (Note: The taste will intensify and get better as it sits in the fridge.)
4. Pour in sparkling water right before serving.

This easy recipe only takes about 15 minutes prep time for a fantastic drink! And if you make it with Downward Dog Wine Chardonnay, you can make four batches with just one box of wine. Your guests will be thankful, trust us!
