Equipment

Ingredients

1 750 ml bottle Riesling
1 cup vodka
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/2 cup pomegranate arils
1 orange, cut into slices (plus additional for garnish)
1/4 cup agave (plus additional for glass rim, optional)
1 cup sparkling water
Rosemary sprigs for garnish
Coconut sugar (for the glass rim, optional)

Instructions

Combine the wine, vodka, cranberries, pomegranates, orange slices, and agave in a large glass pitcher. Taste and stir in more agave to taste.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or much better, overnight, to allow the flavors of your Christmas sangria to meld.
Right before serving, top the pitcher off with sparkling water and a few rosemary sprigs.
Pour your Christmas white sangria with vodka in glasses rimmed with agave and coconut sugar. Finish each glass with a slice of orange and a sprig of rosemary. Cheers!

Notes

Pomegranates can sometimes overpower the flavor of the sangria, so consider adding them in the last hour of chilling. And for a picture-perfect glass, spoon the pomegranates into the glass first so they don’t just sink to the bottom.
Patience pays off! Give your Christmas white sangria with vodka at least 4 hours of chill time to let those sweet, fruity flavors fully come together.
Have fun making your white Christmas sangria with different fruits! Raspberries, cherries, Granny Smith apples, and limes are also fantastic for this refreshing drink.
