If you’ve outgrown slapping the bag, but still want to enjoy your nicely affordable boxed wine, this white wine sangria recipe is the answer to your prayers. You’ll look like a savvy sangria pro whipping this one out. Further floor your sipping buddies by telling them you didn’t even have to leave your dorm to make it.

Grab Sprite from the soda fountain, orange juice from the juice machine, fruit from the dining hall fruit bins, and that boxed wine screaming for attention under your desk. Ready. Set. Sangria.

The secret to the recipe is in the proportions: not too sweet and not too wine-y. Feel free to add any fruit—raspberries, pineapples and peaches work great. Vella Delicious white wine pairs perfectly with the other fruity flavors. It is known to be on the sweeter side, so there’s no need to add sugar or syrup.
