Ingredients
Scale
Alcohol & Liquids
- 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 1/2 cup peach schnapps
- 1/4 cup brandy (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups club soda or sparkling water (for topping)
Fruits
- 2 fresh peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
Other Ingredients
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (or to taste)
- Ice cubes, for serving
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour the dry white wine, peach schnapps, and brandy if using. Add the granulated sugar and stir to begin dissolving it. Then add the thinly sliced peaches, orange, and lemon slices to the mixture for fresh fruity flavors.
- Chill and Marinate: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to meld and intensify, creating a harmonious blend.
- Serve with Fizz: When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the chilled sangria over the ice, then top each glass with a splash of club soda or sparkling water to add refreshing bubbles.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish each glass with extra peach slices or fresh mint sprigs for presentation and an added burst of aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful, fruity sangria.
Notes
- For a sweeter sangria, adjust the sugar amount according to your taste preference.
- If brandy is not desired, feel free to omit it without sacrificing much flavor.
- Use freshly sliced fruit for the best flavor and presentation.
- This sangria tastes even better if left to chill overnight, allowing the flavors to fully develop.
- Substitute sparkling water with club soda for a different type of fizz or use lemon-lime soda for added sweetness.
