  • Clerico (Sangría Blanco) Recipe
    4

    I make white sangria with the addition of a cup of St. Germaine to a bottle of Riesling (skip the sugar in the recipe), fruit and a split vanilla bean. It's my summer go-to.

  • I lived in Uruguay for a time and my friends there taught me to make clerico EXACTLY this way, NEVER with red wine, except they add orange liquer and/or sparkling cider for extra kick. I was hoping to find a recipe with those added, in order to know exact amounts. Guess I'll just add "to taste."

  • There's a problem here (credential---I lived in Argentina as a girl). "Clerico" is an Argentinization of "claret cup", and claret is red. Plus, clerico in my experience was never a drink like sangria but a dessert of fresh fruit in wine.
