Who says white wine is only good in the summertime? I've made this white sangria every holiday season for the last few years and it's always a hit. I leave out brandy or heavy fruit juices (I just use orange juice) like you find in traditional sangrias, so it's crisp and light, which is a nice change from heavier winter cocktails.
INGREDIENTS
1 bottle prosecco or champagne, chilled
1/2 cup orange juice
2-4 tablespoons sugar (depending on level of sweetness desired)
4-6 clementines, peeled and separated into segments
1 apple (we like Fuji), cut into small cubes
1 cup of fresh cranberries
Combine prosecco or champagne, orange juice, and sugar into a large pitcher. Stir until sugar is dissolved. (You can also make a simple syrup in advance to ensure sugar is melted.) Add clementines, apples, and cranberries, and let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to one hour. Pour into glasses and top with a squeeze of fresh clementine juice.
If you try it, let me know what you think.

Personally, I drink white wine year around (and all wine, really - I don't discriminate.) I absolutely think white wine can be just as festive as red, but I admit, I have never seen it looks quite this festive. This sangria is gorgeous! And delicious, too, I'm sure.
