White Wine Plum Sangria

August 29, 2019

White wine plum sangria is the perfect kiss goodbye to summer stone fruit season. Ripe plums mixed with white wine, Cassis (black currant) Liqueur, Cointreau, sparkling water, simple syrup, and various fruit. It is a subtly sweet and tart sangria that’s great for sipping outside.

I am not quite ready to kiss summer flavors goodbye. It is so hard to let it go when every store is stocked full of peaches, tomatoes, and plums. How people are moving on to pumpkin already is baffling to me.

If I could ignore all the goods of summer still available, then yeah, I guess I could move on too. Can I borrow your horse blinders, all you pumpkin people?

Until my stores get all the squash and gourds and all that boring stuff, I’m here with a big ol’ glass of white wine plum sangria.

Sangria is one of my favorite year round drinks. It is so easy to customize. Right now the plums mixed with the black currant liqueur, a little booze, and a white wine like Pinot Grigio or Pinot Gris combine to make the perfect end of summer taste.

The rest of the fruit is standard sangria fare; apple, lemon, and lime. White Wine Plum sangria recipe would also be good with blueberries or blackberries instead of plums and Champagne or Prosecco instead of Pinot Grigio. Lots of options with this recipe.

Whenever I make sangria or really any caprese or fruit based recipe, one thing I can count on is not having to worry about my husband mooch the food/drink from me—arecipe for those days I don’t feel like sharing my food/drink.

Not that I need a whole vat of sangria for myself, but ya know, it’s nice to have that option.

If you too are like me and still all in on the summer produce, be sure, you are safe from pumpkin here. Enjoy all the goods of summer for the next week or so on this blog.
