🍽️ Servings: 4–6 glasses

🍏 Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle Vinho Verde (Portuguese Green Wine) – chilled
  • 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
  • 2 tablespoons honey or sugar syrup
  • ½ cup white grape juice (optional)
  • 1 green apple, thinly sliced

    Pour in the Vinho Verde wine and white grape juice. Stir gently.

  3. Sweeten It Up:
    Mix in honey or sugar syrup until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to taste.

  4. Chill:
    Refrigerate the sangria for at least 1 hour to let the flavors infuse.

  5. Before Serving:
    Add sparkling water or club soda for fizz, along with ice cubes and mint leaves. Stir lightly.

🌿 Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve in wine glasses with extra citrus slices and mint for garnish.
  • Pair with Portuguese appetizers like cod fritters (Pastéis de Bacalhau) or chorizo tapas.
  • Ideal for brunches, summer picnics, or festive dinners.

🧊 Storage Tips:

  • Store leftover sangria in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Remove mint leaves before storing to prevent bitterness.
  • Add fresh sparkling water just before serving again.

❓ FAQs

Q1: What is Vinho Verde?
A: It’s a young Portuguese “green wine,” known for its light body, crisp taste, and mild effervescence — perfect for refreshing cocktails like sangria.

Q2: Can I use another wine instead of Vinho Verde?
A: Yes! Any light, fruity white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works well.

Q3: Can I make this sangria non-alcoholic?
A: Absolutely! Replace wine with sparkling white grape juice and skip the alcohol.

Q4: Can I make it ahead of time?
A: Yes — it actually tastes better after a few hours of chilling as the fruit infuses flavor.
