Here is a brief overview of how this white sangria recipe comes together. For the full recipe including all measurements, see the recipe card a the bottom of the post.
- Muddle mint leaves into the simple syrup. Be careful of muddling the mint too much… just a little bit releases the glorious oils of the mint leaves. No muddler? The end of a wooden spoon does the trick nicely.
- Add the other ingredients. Mix in the lime juice, white rum, and sparkling white wine.
- Enjoy or refrigerate. This is a perfect recipe to make ahead of time. The longer it sits, the more the flavors get to know each other. Serve over ice in a highball glass and garnish with lime wedges.
