This drink will revolutionize your traditional notion of sangria. While less popular than red, white sangria is no less delicious. Mix white wine, aromatic limeade, and elderflower liqueur, which pairs perfectly with floral Hendrick's gin. Add cucumber slices and refrigerate to release their refreshing juices. Mint sprigs and ice complete this refreshing and invigorating sangria. This wonderful summer drink can be made ahead of time and enjoyed on a hot day.
