Sunday Brunch Drink Recipe: Mimosa Sangria

This post brought to you by Santa Margherita USA. The content and opinions expressed below are always 100% my own.

As much as I love a good glass of wine (and I truly do love a good glass of wine), if it’s for a get-together, I love to make a good mixed drink.  

I was getting a group of girlfriends together the other week, and I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to make mimosas or sangria.  Then I had a totally crazy idea – why not make a combination of the two?!

I’m sure it’s totally against the rules, and the true wine experts are probably cringing right now, but you know what?  It tasted pretty darn good!  

I used Santa Margherita wine to make this recipe (I used the Pinot Grigio- I saved the Merlot for a steak dinner with my husband on Valentine’s Day weekend!). Although I used it for this recipe, Santa Margherita’s Pinot Grigio is really perfect to be sipped on it’s own.

PS – Santa Margherita USA wines?  They taste soooo good!

So if you’re looking for a great Sunday brunch drink, try this out!  It’s simple, easy to make, and tastes delicious.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Equal parts white wine & orange juice
• Seltzer water (not flavored)
• Seasonal fruit
  • I used oranges, grapes, lemons & limes
  • You could also add pears, apples, berries, pineapple, or other fruit you love!
• Sugar (optional)

Mix the orange juice & white wine.  Add fruit and 1-2 TBSP of sugar to taste (this step is optional).  Chill for at least an hour. When you’re getting ready to serve, add a splash of seltzer water to carbonate the drink.

I paired this with quiche, and it was the perfect Sunday brunch!
