Clerico is the perfect fruity white wine punch for warm gatherings. It’s a refreshing mix of fresh bananas, apples, oranges, strawberries, and grapes, all soaked in sweetened white wine. The sugar helps to bring out the natural sweetness of the fruit, creating a drink that’s flavorful and light, but still packs a punch. It’s ideal for a summer party, brunch, or anytime you want a fruity, boozy drink that feels a little fancy. The best part? It’s even better if you make it ahead of time!
Ingredients
- 2 Liter(s) White Wine
- 3 Banana(s)
- 1 Apple(s)
- 1 Orange(s)
- 6 Strawberries
- .5 lb Grapes
- .5 lb Sugar
Instructions
Prep the Fruit:
- Peel the bananas, apple, and orange. Dice them all into small pieces, then slice the strawberries and halve the grapes.
Sweeten the Fruit:
- Place all the fruit into a large bowl and sprinkle the 0.5 lb of sugar evenly over it.
Add the Wine:
- Pour enough white wine over the fruit and sugar to cover everything. Give it a gentle stir to mix.
Chill:
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to let the flavors blend. The longer it sits, the better!
Serve:
- When ready, stir the mixture and serve in glasses with a bit of the fruit in each one. You can add ice if you like it extra cold.
Notes
Clerico is a South American twist on sangria, typically made with white wine for a lighter, more refreshing take. It’s easy to customize—swap out the fruits for whatever you have on hand or prefer. If you want a bit more fizz, you can top off each glass with a splash of soda water or sparkling wine just before serving. For best results, let the punch chill for at least 2 hours, but if you have time, overnight is even better, as it allows the fruit to really soak up the wine’s flavors.
