Ingredients Needed:
- 2 lemons, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 limes, sliced into thin rounds
- 1 naval orange, halved and sliced into thin rounds
- 12 large fresh mint leaves, torn
- 2/3 cup agave nectar syrup
- 1/2 cup silver tequila
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 bottle of white wine, chilled, such as a Sauvignon Blanc
- 2 cups lemon-lime soda, chilled
How To Make Tequila Sangria Recipe?
- Prepare the Fruit and Mint: In a large pitcher, combine the lemon, lime, and orange slices with the mint leaves. Use a muddler to mash them together gently to release the flavors.
- Add the Liquid Ingredients: Stir in the agave nectar syrup, silver tequila, and freshly squeezed lime juice until well combined.
- Pour the Wine: Add the chilled white wine to the pitcher and stir gently. Cover and refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, to let the flavors meld.
- Serve the Sangria: Divide the fruit mixture among 8 glasses. Pour approximately 60ml of chilled lemon-lime soda into each glass. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh citrus fruits and mint for the best flavor. Avoid pre-squeezed juice or old fruits.
- Muddle Gently: When mashing the fruit and mint, don’t overdo it. Gentle muddling releases flavors without making the drink bitter.
- Chill Properly: Let the sangria chill for at least 4 hours. This helps the flavors combine beautifully.
- Choose the Right Wine: Use a crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for a balanced taste.
- Add Soda Just Before Serving: Pour the lemon-lime soda into the glasses right before serving to keep the fizz fresh.
