Ibiza, an island of serene beauty and vibrant energy, is the perfect backdrop to enjoy refreshing drinks that capture the essence of island life. Did you know that a glass of cold white sangria served under the blazing sun is the perfect addition to a day in Ibiza? OneVillasIbiza, the luxury villa rental specialist, would love to tell you more about this delicious drink – a variation on a beloved summer classic!
Sangria: Spanish Classic
Sangria, the iconic Spanish drink, is loved worldwide for its fruity and refreshing taste. Traditionally made with red wine and red fruit, the classic red sangria is a fixture in Spanish gastronomy. Should you perhaps be looking for something lighter and more subtle, Ibiza white sangria is a delicious alternative.

The Birth of White Sangria in Ibiza
White sangria is a refreshing mix of white wine, sliced lime, chopped fruit and often a touch of sparkling water or cava. This white wine-based variant is less heavy and has a refined taste. It is the perfect drink for those warm Ibizan afternoons when you like to have something refreshing.
Ingredients for the Perfect White Sangria
- White Wine: The base of any white sangria is white wine. Choose a young wine, light and fresh, that complements the flavor of the added fruit without being overpowering.
- Fruit: Red fruit is often used in traditional red wine-based sangria. But in the white version, the possibilities are endless. Add slices of lime for a refreshing acidity or experiment with other fruits.
- Additional Ingredients: A splash of sparkling water or cava gives your sangria a festive bubble. A tablespoon of sugar or pinch of salt can enhance the flavors.
Recipe For Success
The preparation of white sangria is an art form. Start with a liter of water and add a bottle of white wine to taste. Cut up a fresh lime and other fruits and add them. For a hint of sweetness, you can add white sugar, or brown sugar for a more complex flavor. Set the mixture aside in a cool place for a while so that the flavors can mix well.
Variation tips
- Alcohol-Free Sangria: For a non-alcoholic version, replace the wine with non-alcoholic wine or even mint iced tea.
- Lolailo Sangria: A trendy variation with a Spanish twist is the Lolailo Sangria. A great choice for those who want to try new flavors.
- Martini Rosso or Martini Floreale: For a slightly bitter/slightly spicy taste, add a splash of Martini to your sangria.

Sangria and Food: A Perfect Combination
At OneVillasIbiza, we appreciate the art of combining delicious food with perfect drinks. White sangria is a fantastic accompaniment to a range of dishes. For example, it is an excellent match for a light lunch with a salad and seafood, as well as for a sumptuous dinner with hearty Ibizan fare. A glass of refreshing white sangria always enhances the taste sensation.
The Art of Serving
Serving the perfect white sangria is as important as preparing it. At OneVillasIbiza, we recommend serving the sangria in a large glass pitcher in which the colorful pieces of fruit and slices of lime are clearly visible. Finishing with lime wedges and a sprig of mint not only makes the sangria look beautiful, but also adds an extra freshness to each sip.
Tips for a Perfect Presentation
- Fruit-Shaped Cup Holders for by the Pool: Serve sangria for a playful addition to your pool party in inflatable colorful cup holders (possibly fruit-shaped).
- Frozen Mint: Add frozen mint leaves as “ice cubes” for a cooling effect without diluting the sangria.
- Fruit In Pieces: Decorate the rim of each glass with a small piece of fruit or mint leaf for added elegance.
Sangria as Part of the Ibizan Experience
Besides being a drink, sangria is also part of Ibiza’s rich cultural heritage. As you sip a glass of white sangria, you are taken on a culinary journey that reflects the essence of the island – a blend of traditional Spanish influences and a unique, modern twist.
Pair the Sangria with Local Dishes – or a Sunset!
- Local Dishes: Combine your sangria experience with sampling local Ibizan specialties. Any dish, from seafood to tapas, takes on an extra dimension with a glass of cold white sangria to accompany it.
- Relaxed Evenings: Sip your sangria while enjoying a breathtaking sunset, with the sounds of the sea in the background – it doesn’t get any better than this!
