Ingredients
Scale
Alcohol & Liquids
- 1 bottle of dry white wine (750 ml)
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 2 cups soda water or lemon-lime soda
Fresh Fruits
- 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
- 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lemon, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
Garnish and Others
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash Fruits: Thoroughly wash all your fruits using a gentle produce wash to remove any dirt or residues before slicing.
- Slice Peaches: Cut the peaches around the pit to create halves, then twist apart and slice them into wedges for easy serving and flavor infusion.
- Prepare Strawberries: Remove the green tops of the strawberries (hulling), then slice them thinly or in halves to release their juices.
- Slice Citrus: Cut the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick to add a zesty and colorful element to the sangria.
- Combine Fruits: In a large pitcher or bowl, mix together the sliced peaches, strawberries, orange, lemon, and lime to create a vibrant fruit base.
- Add Wine: Pour the entire bottle of dry white wine over the fruit mixture, allowing the fruit to soak in the wine flavors.
- Add Peach Schnapps: Pour in the peach schnapps to add a sweet, peach-flavored kick to the sangria.
- Stir Mixture: Gently stir the mixture with a long spoon to combine, being careful not to mash the fruit to maintain texture.
- Chill: Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, so the flavors meld nicely.
- Prepare Glasses: When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice cubes to keep the sangria chilled and refreshing.
- Serve Sangria: Pour the sangria over the ice in each glass, including some of the fruit slices for visual appeal and added flavor.
- Add Soda: Top off each glass with soda water or lemon-lime soda depending on your sweetness preference to give a bubbly finish.
- Mix Gently: Stir gently to combine the soda with the sangria without dissipating the bubbles.
- Garnish: Add fresh mint leaves to each glass for a refreshing aroma and an elevated presentation.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, refreshing homemade peach sangria with friends and family!
Notes
- For best flavor, refrigerate the sangria overnight to allow the fruit and wine to infuse thoroughly.
- Use dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for a crisp and balanced sangria.
- Adjust sweetness by choosing soda water for a less sweet option or lemon-lime soda for added sweetness.
- Fresh mint is optional but adds a lovely fresh aroma and garnish.
- Add more or less peach schnapps depending on your desired alcohol strength and sweetness.
- This sangria can be prepared a day in advance but is best served fresh with ice and soda.
