White Wine Spritzer (Sangria Style)
A white wine spritzer is perfect for cooling off on a hot summer day. Especially when you can’t decide if you want wine, sangria or a spritzer: have all three!
Why should you have to choose between white wine, sangria or a spritzer?

I say you shouldn’t have to, because you can have a white wine spritzer made sangria-style, and drink it too! Just combing a fruity sangria with a little fizz, makes a wonderful summer beverage that barely takes any time at all.
When everyone is having an aperol spritz, limoncello spritz, or Hugo spritz, surprise your guests with this unique cocktail.
You can choose any fruit you like, but what makes this peach and cherry combination nice is that the flavor of the peaches is predominant (that’s a good thing, in my book) and the cherries add a gorgeous pink tint! Win-win!
