It’s party time! My sister, Maddy, came to town from Denver to sell her one of a kind jewelry made from vintage pieces. I invited my friends and neighbors to come and see her baubles and have a bite to eat. Another one of my sisters, Mary, flew in from Seattle to join the fun. I enjoy serving a signature drink…and with the weather cooperating for a change, we had a lovely sunny day for the event…and a glass of sangria sounded perfect.
If you’re in the Denver area you can find Maddy’s creations at The Perfect Petal and Posh in Larimer Square…or check out her website.
White Wine Sangria…from my friend, Sally Gray
1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 can (6 ounces) frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 cup light rum
1/2 cup orange liqueur (I used Grand Marnier)
1 can (15.25 ounces) pineapple tidbits in natural juices
1 large Granny Smith apple, diced
16 ounces lemon-lime soda
Strawberries and orange slices to garnish
In a large pitcher, combine wine, lemonade concentrate, rum, orange liqueur, and pineapple with its juice. Dice apple about the same size as the pineapple and add to sangria. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Before serving, add soda. Garnish glasses with orange slices and strawberries if desired.

Your sister’s jewelry is beautiful! I have been searching for a great white sangria recipe – and now have found one!
This White Wine Sangria makes a refreshing drink! Lizzy, you are beautiful!
While the beer drinkers were over for a BBQ yesterday this would have been perfect for me. I need to save this recipe for when I want to kick my feet up and relax. Yummy!
I’m always looking for something different to drink while my hubby and sons are drinking beer, and this looks like a great choice! Got to give this a try.
This look wonderful, I love your presentation and photos too!
Sangria…this is my fav party drink as well:-) Never tried the white wine sangria:-) I am gona make this for the next party:-)
By the way the vintage jewellery’s looks adorable..
Gorgeous Sangria….what beautiful pictures!!
I have a great recipe for the red sangria but I have never tried white. I know without even tasting or sniffing that this is going to be good and the weather makes all the diffrence!
On my list for next time, Thanks!!
Yes! Is t too early for cocktail hour? I’d like a glass or two.
I love white wine, therefore, I would love this.
How fun Lizzy, I would have come just for the jewelry, but after waiving that beautiful glass of Sangria, I would have come faster. Looks like some nice stuff, sounds like a fun way to spend the afternoon. You all look so pretty in the picture.

Maddy’s work is gorgeous! I checked out her site and her paintings vaguely remind me of Gustav Klimt. So beautiful.
This drink looks gorgeous! So fresh and tasty… perfect for the spring. Glad you had a wonderful time as well!

I love white sangria! Family fun times!
Your sangria looks refreshing and perfect for the spring! I hope you had fun with your family and friends!
I never would have thought to use frozen lemonade in sangria (even thought I used it in my Blackberry ‘Ritas.) What a great idea! LOVE your sister’s jewelry.
I love sangria, but have never tried white sangria. Looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing.
Oooh, this one would be great linked in too. Food on Friday : Mocktails and Cocktails
I am definitely going to try this one, Lizzy. I won’t be able to try all the links this week – would be flat on my face!
Have to give this one a try.
Fan of Sangria.
