Ingredients and Their Health Benefits
Before we get into the recipe, let’s take a look at the ingredients and their health benefits:
- Oranges: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, oranges boost your immune system and add a sweet, tangy flavor to the sangria.
- Peaches: White peaches are a great choice for their firm texture and sweet taste. They provide vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants.
- Green Apples: These add a crisp texture and tart flavor, along with vitamins C and K and fiber.
- Strawberries: Packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants, strawberries add a burst of color and flavor.
- Lime: Adds a refreshing tartness and is high in vitamin C.
- Light White Wine (Avaline White Blend): A clean, low-sugar wine that keeps the sangria light and refreshing. Wine in moderation can offer heart health benefits due to its antioxidant content.
- Peach Bitters: Adds depth of flavor without additional sugar or calories.
- Bocha Sweet Sweetener: A low-carb, natural sweetener that doesn’t spike blood sugar levels.
- Cognac or Brandy: Adds richness and complexity to the sangria. Cognac also has some antioxidants.
Recipe: Light Low Carb, Low Sugar White Wine Sangria
Ingredients:
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 white peach, sliced (firmer is better)
- 1 green apple, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- A handful of strawberries, sliced
- 1 bottle of Avaline White Blend wine
- A few shakes of peach bitters
- 2 tablespoons Boca Sweet sweetener
- 1/4 cup cognac or brandy
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fruit:
- Start by slicing up all your fruit. Slice one orange, one white peach, one green apple, and one lime. Also, slice a handful of strawberries.
- Choose firm fruits for the best texture in your sangria. White peaches are preferable over yellow ones as they hold up better without getting mushy.
- Combine Ingredients in a Pitcher:
- Add all the sliced fruit to a large pitcher. Fill it up to the rim to ensure a colorful and flavorful sangria.
- Pour in the whole bottle of Avaline White Blend wine. This clean, low-sugar wine is perfect for a light and refreshing sangria.
- Add a few shakes of peach bitters to enhance the flavor profile.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of Bocha Sweet sweetener. This natural sweetener will blend perfectly without adding unnecessary carbs or sugar.
- Add the Alcohol:
- Finally, pour in 1/4 cup of cognac or brandy. This will add a nice depth and richness to your sangria.
- If your pitcher is too full, you might need to transfer the mixture to a larger one to accommodate all the ingredients without overflowing.
- Chill and Serve:
- Cover the pitcher and place it in the fridge for about 4 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and develop fully.
- After chilling, give the sangria a good stir. Add some of the fruit to your glass along with some ice, then pour in the sangria.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your light, refreshing, and fruity low-carb sangria.
