I love this Spiced White Wine Sangria. It’s such an easy and fun low maintenance way to fancy up a cheaper bottle of pinot grigio. This is also delicious and with all the garnishes it’s also quite beautiful. This makes the perfect festive drink to serve for Thanksgiving, or any Holiday Party!

It’s been too long since I’ve made sangria! This is a great use for extra wine.
Made this yesterday, I couldn’t find pomegranate seeds this late in the season, but it was an amazing drink nonetheless! I added some bits of vanilla and more cardamom, the syrup is so flavory… thanks for this recipe!
I made this for my girlfriends and it was a huge hit! Delicious!!
Love the animated photo–makes me crave this even MORE. This is genius for the holidays! As always, thanks for the great inspiration and ideas ;)
This look delicious, just shared it to my friends!
I agree with the comment above, that this drink is perfect for the winter because it is not too warming, like mulled wine or cider. Drinking warm drinks while wrapped and stuffed (pretty tightly, thanks to all the carbs) into sweaters isn’t all that cozy. The spices will also be a great help for digestion! Hoorah.
This sounds delicious!
that animated picture is AMAZING! and the receipe looks wonderful too :)
Carb Slut!!! LMAO. thanks for sharing this! I’m sooo making it for when I host my little holiday party. Yay!
Beautiful pics as always and a magic moving one! How on earth do you do that? It’d beyond my computron knowledge!
beautiful little trick with the photography and delicious looking sangria!
Gorgeous, gorgeous. Just the thing for Dubai temperatures during the festive season. Mulled red wine can get a little too warming.
There’s something about sangria that I love … It means friends, gatherings, enjoying life. Will certainly try this recipe ;).
Miki.
i have always loved the look of sangria & this one is beautiful! i love that motion-photo thingy too :)
haha carb slut. *high five* i’m right there with ya.
This is all I freaking need right now! I’m in love!
I’ve been following you on Twitter yet somehow this is my first time to this site. I love it. I am obsessed with sangria, so much so that when I posted about it on FB I get comments from friends like, “shocking.” I made an apple-cinnamon sangria for Thanksgiving this year that actually made me sick the next morning because it was so good that I felt compelled to drink an entire pitcher of it. Oops.
The second picture has blown my mind. I’m boggled. Gorg.
I wish we could booze together! I find NY resolutions to be pretty lame…few people actually stick to them! I totally want to make this for my holiday party next week.
You had me at cheeseburgers…and again at biscuits! Winter is the time for these yummy comfort foods. Amen.
How did you get it to move?! I LOVE THAT. I just made a mulled red wine version of this!
BUT YOURS IS ANIMATED. You win. :)
i have been feeling like a big sausage myself. haha! this recipe for sangria looks great…. LOVE sangria :)
Beautiful and delicious, I’m sure. I wouldn’t mind a glass or two with lunch. :) Love the animated gif, too!
DOOR MAN! DOOR MAN! DOOR MAN!….CARB SLUT!
