Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 bottle of white wine, 1 cup of pear juice, 1 pear, sliced, 1 inch of ginger, sliced, 1 cup of club soda, and fresh mint leaves for garnish.
- In a large pitcher, pour in the entire bottle of white wine. Choose a dry or semi-dry white wine for the best flavor balance.

- Take the pear and slice it into thin wedges. Add the sliced pear to the pitcher, allowing its natural sweetness to infuse into the sangria.

- Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup of club soda to the pitcher to give the sangria a refreshing fizz.
- Serve the sangria over ice in individual glasses, ensuring each glass receives some of the pear slices and ginger pieces.
- Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and an aromatic touch.
- Enjoy your refreshing Pear Ginger White Sangria with friends and family!
Tips
- Wine Selection Matters: Choose a dry or semi-dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for the best flavor profile.
- Chill for Perfection: Let the sangria sit in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld beautifully.
- Ice is Key: Use large ice cubes to prevent rapid dilution and maintain the drink's robust flavor.
- Fresh Ingredients Make a Difference: Use fresh ginger and ripe pears for maximum flavor intensity.
- Garnish Like a Pro: Don't skip the fresh mint leaves - they add an aromatic dimension that elevates the entire drink.
- Prep Ahead: You can make this sangria a few hours in advance, allowing the flavors to develop even more depth.
- Customize to Taste: Feel free to adjust the ginger quantity based on your spice preference.
