How to make white sangria with wild berries, crème de menthe, gin and triple sec

Share

Another white sangria? Are you kidding me?

Yeah, get used to it, because we all love white sangria here and we love to mix and experiment to find new recipes for this beauty cocktail.

And above all, remember that sangria is pure, liquid magic: it takes little to turn a simple glass of wine into a forest of delicious scents and lures.

And the sangria we are going to prepare today is particularly fragrant because we will add wild berries and crème de menthe.

The recipe is all played on the balance between freshness and sweetness: a play of chiaroscuro running in a forest of plucky scents.

The result is a pungent and very drinkable, but intriguing, sangria, because of the spirits we’ve added: the holy trinity of creme de menthe, gin and triple sec.

That’s all, another white sangria to add to your collection.

Ingredients for making white sangria with wild berries, crème de menthe, gin and triple sec

• 5 cl of sparkling white wine like Prosecco, Champagne if you want to make a legendary cocktail
• 2 cl of gin
• 2 cl of crème de menthe
• 1 cl of triple sec
• 1 cl of lime juice
• 4 cranberries
• 4 blackberries
• 4 raspberries
• 1 slice of lime

How to make the perfect white sangria with wild berries

Wash all the fruits, cut the lime in half and squeeze it, while you’re there cut a slice for the final decoration.

In a large glass or a balloon (Cognac glass) put all the fruits, lime juice and all the spirits.

Pour in white wine and stir gently and add 3 ice cubes to cool properly the cocktail.

Remember that it is unseemly to cool a good wine with ice, but with sangria se puede (you can!).
