Citrus Pear White Wine Sangria

Looking for another way to enjoy your pears? Try drinking them.

Pears can be enjoyed in so many ways: candied, pickled, poached, baked, in a cake, as muffins, with cheese, in a salad, and, of course, right out of your hand. If you're looking for a new way to enjoy pears, keep reading. This delicious Citrus Pear White Wine Sangria recipe is easy, delicious, and great for a crowd.

Pinot Gris is the lucky wine to star in this pear sangria, with bright, aromatic notes of citrus serving as the perfect base. It adapts well to the buttery Royal Verano Pears without being overrun by them, and a fresh lemon wedge complements the wine's refreshing flavor.

To make the cocktail even more effervescent, add some seltzer water or, for a more potent kick, add half a cup of vodka.
