White wine sangria in a snowy coconut-rimmed glass is a festive drink for Christmas in July, although you'll probably be drinking this version all year long.

White sangria ingredients are really up to the maker, but for this recipe, we stuck to easy-to-find fruit that works any time of year.

We soaked apples, seedless grapes and plumcots (a cross between a plum and apricot) in Duplin White Sangria and sparkling cider.

Two things make this white sangria recipe special. We added a little fresh rosemary for that cozy, woodsy holiday feel. The herb adds a refreshing essence, too, making it a nice addition for Christmas in July gatherings.

We also coated the rim of serving glasses in shredded coconut. They look like they've been dipped in freshly fallen snow.

So crank up the air conditioner and put on your festive jammies. This Christmas in July is going to be so ho, ho, ho. And then do it all over again in December.
