Tips & Variations

• Use lemon-lime soda for a sweeter sangria or soda water for a lighter, more refreshing drink.
• Add a splash of club soda just before serving to keep the sangria fizzy.
• For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine and peach schnapps with peach juice and sparkling water.
• Try adding other fruits like blueberries or raspberries for extra color and flavor.
• Chill the wine and schnapps before mixing for a colder, ready-to-serve drink.

Storage

Store leftover sangria in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best taste and fizz, add soda water or lemon-lime soda just before serving rather than storing it mixed. Stir gently before pouring to combine flavors.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use other types of wine for this sangria?

Yes, a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works best for a crisp, refreshing sangria. However, you can experiment with rosé or even a light red wine if you prefer.

How long can I prepare the sangria ahead of time?

The sangria benefits from resting in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. You can prepare it up to 24 hours ahead, but add the soda water or lemon-lime soda just before serving to keep it fizzy.
