Easy White Peach Sangria
This sweet and simple peach-flavored white wine cocktail strikes the perfect balance between sophisticated and accessible, making it ideal for both casual gatherings and elegant soirées.
Equipment
- Large Glass Pitcher
Ingredients
- 1 bottle (750ml) crisp white wine Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended
- 3 ripe white peaches sliced (yellow peaches work well as a substitute)
- 1/4 cup peach schnapps or brandy
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves
- ice cubes for serving
Instructions
- Wash and slice the white peaches into thin, elegant wedges—approximately 1/4 inch thick. Leave the skin on for added color and nutrients.
- In a large glass pitcher, combine the white wine and peach schnapps or brandy.
- Add the sliced peaches and lemon to the wine mixture. Drizzle honey or agave nectar over the fruit, adjusting the amount based on the sweetness of your peaches and personal preference.
- Add the mint leaves, lightly crushing them between your fingers first to release their aromatic oils. Stir gently to combine all ingredients without bruising the fruit.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though 2-4 hours will develop a more pronounced flavor profile.
- Just before serving, add the sparkling water or club soda and a generous amount of ice. Stir gently one final time to distribute the bubbles and flavors.
Notes
For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the wine with white grape juice and omit the schnapps.
Warm the honey slightly before adding to ensure it dissolves completely in the cold wine.
This sangria can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance (without ice or sparkling water).
