Ingredients

  • Limoncello
  • White wine (Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Lemon slices
  • Club soda

Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Slice the fruit. Thinly slice fresh lemons and strawberries.
  2. Mix the base. In a large pitcher, combine white wine and Limoncello.
  3. Add the fruit. Stir in the lemon slices and strawberries.
  4. Chill for at least 2 hours. Let the flavors infuse for the best taste.
  5. Top with club soda. Right before serving, add a splash of bubbles.

Tips & Tricks

  • Want it sweeter? Add a splash of honey or simple syrup.
  • Make it stronger. Swap club soda for prosecco or sparkling wine.
  • Batch it ahead. Mix everything but the club soda the night before for max flavor.
  • Best garnishes? A sugared rim, fresh mint, or extra berries.

Variations to Explore

  • Berry Limoncello Sangria – Add raspberries or blueberries for more fruity goodness.
  • Sparkling Limoncello Sangria – Use prosecco instead of white wine for extra bubbles.
  • Peach Limoncello Sangria – Toss in fresh peach slices for a summery twist.

Your Burning Questions Answered

Can I use a different white wine?
Absolutely! Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc work best, but a dry Riesling is a great option too.

How long does it last?
It’s best within 24 hours—the fruit starts to break down after that.

Can I make it alcohol-free?
Yep! Swap the wine for white grape juice and use a non-alcoholic Limoncello alternative.


Pro Tip: For an extra special touch, freeze some strawberries and lemon slices to use instead of ice cubes—they keep your sangria cold without watering it down!
