Served in a voluminous 24 oz. Bordeaux wine glass, and with garnishes that really pop, this rare white sangria is casual enough for summertime pool-side quaffing but also elegant enough to suit any celebration table.

The number-one selling signature cocktail at Beso is your opportunity to test your mixology prowess. Beso’s gatekeepers would not let the exact proportions of their sangria out, though they did give us the basics. You’ll simply have to mix, taste and repeat. Shall we twist your arm?

Ingredients:

Sauvignon Blanc

Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur

St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur

Cointreau

White cranberry juice

Fresh Asian pears (sliced)

Method:

Combine ingredients and let the batch rest refrigerated for a minimum of three days. Serve in a large wine glass over ice. Garnish with pear slivers, raspberries, blackberry, and a mint crown.
