Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Peach Sangria:
- 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
- 2 ripe peaches (sliced)
- 1 orange (sliced)
- 1 lemon (sliced)
- 1 cup strawberries (halved)
- 1 cup club soda or sparkling water (chilled)
- ice for serving

How to Make Peach Sangria

Step 1: Build the Base

Start by pouring your dry white wine, peach schnapps, and orange juice into a big pitcher. If you like things a bit sweeter, sprinkle in the sugar at this stage. Grab a long spoon or even a whisk and give everything a good stir to dissolve the sugar completely—think of it as setting the flavor foundation for your Peach Sangria.

Step 2: Add the Fruit

Next, it’s time for the fruit parade! Drop in the sliced peaches, orange, lemon, and halved strawberries. Every piece infuses your sangria with fresh, juicy flavors and turns your pitcher into a work of art. The longer the fruit soaks, the more luscious your Peach Sangria will be.

Step 3: Let it Chill

Cover your pitcher and tuck it into the fridge. Give the sangria at least two hours, but overnight is even better if you can wait! This extra time lets the flavors meld and the fruit soften, making each sip taste like summer itself.

Step 4: Add the Fizz

Just before you’re ready to serve, pour in the chilled club soda or sparkling water. This last-minute addition keeps all those lovely bubbles lively and infuses the sangria with a light, airy vibe that’s custom-made for laughter and lazy afternoons.

Step 5: Serve Over Ice

To serve, add plenty of ice to each glass and spoon in those gorgeous fruit slices for a pretty finishing touch. Pour the Peach Sangria over the top, and voilà—instant celebration!

How to Serve Peach Sangria

Garnishes

There’s something magical about a beautifully garnished glass. For Peach Sangria, try a sprig of fresh mint, an extra peach or strawberry slice on the rim, or even a twist of lemon peel. Each adds color and aroma, making every pour feel just a bit fancy.

Side Dishes

Peach Sangria pairs delightfully with light bites like cheese boards, bruschetta, grilled shrimp, or simple salads. The crisp, fruity notes play nicely with creamy cheeses and fresh, herby flavors—perfect for brunches, picnics, and backyard barbecues.

Creative Ways to Present

Don’t be afraid to let your creativity shine! Serve peach sangria in mason jars for a casual gathering, or use stemless wine glasses for an elegant dinner. Try skewering a few extra fruit slices onto cocktail picks for a playful topper, or arrange a do-it-yourself sangria bar so guests can customize their glass just how they like.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftover Peach Sangria (a rare occurrence in my house!), simply cover the pitcher or transfer it to a sealed container and refrigerate. It will keep well for up to 2 days. The fruit will continue to infuse the sangria, so the flavor may get even richer over time.

Freezing

While freezing the entire sangria isn’t ideal because the fizz can disappear, you can freeze leftover fruit-and-wine mixture in ice cube trays. These make fabulous sangria “ice cubes” for your next round, keeping drinks cool without watering them down.

Reheating

No need to reheat—Peach Sangria is meant to be enjoyed cold! If it’s been in the fridge a bit and lost some sparkle, just add a splash more club soda or sparkling water to each serving for a refreshing, bubbly lift.

FAQs

Can I use frozen peaches instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen peaches not only work beautifully in Peach Sangria but also help keep your pitcher cold—perfect for hot days. They soak up the flavors just as well as fresh slices.

What’s the best wine for Peach Sangria?

A crisp, dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc is ideal. If you’re in the mood for a sweeter version, go with a Moscato. Just avoid heavily oaked wines, which can overpower the delicate fruit flavors.

Can I make Peach Sangria in advance?

Yes! In fact, letting the sangria rest in the fridge for several hours (or overnight) helps the flavors meld beautifully. Just remember to add the club soda or sparkling water right before serving to keep things bubbly.

Is this recipe adaptable for a crowd?

Definitely! Simply double or triple the ingredient amounts and use a larger container or beverage dispenser. Peach Sangria is perfect for parties, showers, and big family dinners.

How do I make my sangria less sweet?

You have options: skip the sugar, use a drier wine, and cut back on peach schnapps. Adding extra club soda or sparkling water will also lighten things up without sacrificing any festivity.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a crowd-pleaser that’s as gorgeous as it is delicious, Peach Sangria really checks every box—colorful, refreshing, and bursting with summertime flavor. I hope you’ll give this recipe a try and share a glass (or two!) with the people you love. Cheers to peach-filled moments!
