Why I Like This Recipe

I made this once on a whim with leftover white wine and a couple of bruised peaches. Threw it all in a pitcher, let it sit, forgot about it… then came back and wow. Now it’s a go-to. Tastes like sunshine and regrets — in the best way.

Ingredients

• 4 ripe but firm peaches, thinly sliced
• 1 bottle (750 mL) white wine
• 8 oz peach juice (fresh is best but bottled works too)
• 4 oz peach schnapps or peach whiskey
• 8 oz sparkling water or seltzer (adjust based on how strong you want it)

Garnish:

• More peach slices
• Fresh mint (for vibes)

How To Make Peach Sangria

1. Load the peaches: Slice ’em up and dump into a big pitcher. No need to be fancy.
2. Add the liquids: Wine → juice → schnapps. Stir like you mean it.
3. Let it chill: Pop it in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours. Longer = better.
4. Finish it off: Right before serving, pour in the sparkling water and give it a quick mix.
5. Serve: Over ice, with peach slices and mint if you’re feelin’ classy. Or not. Still slaps.

Tips for Success

• Chill time = flavor magic. Don’t rush it.
• Add sparkling water last — otherwise it goes flat and sad.
• Use a dry white wine if you don’t want it too sweet.
• If your peaches are super ripe, skip the juice and let them carry it.
• Add ice to glasses, not the pitcher. No one wants watered-down sangria.

Storage and Reheating

• Fridge: Keeps for 24 hours max. After that, the peaches get weird.
• Don’t freeze it — please. Just make a new batch, it’s that easy.
• Re-bubbly tip: If it lost its fizz, splash in some fresh sparkling water. Good as new.

FAQs

Common Mistakes and How to Dodge Them

• Using overripe peaches: They’ll fall apart and make the drink cloudy. Keep them firm.
• Adding sparkling water too soon: It goes flat if it sits too long. Add last, always.
• Not chilling it long enough: Warm sangria? No thanks. Chill it at least an hour.
• Too much juice: Balance it. You want fruit flavor, not fruit punch.
• Leaving it too long in the fridge: Peaches start to get mushy and weird. Best served the same day.
