Sangria Base
- 1 bottle Prosecco 750 ml, chilled (substitute with Cava or any dry sparkling wine)
- 3 peaches ripe, sliced (white or yellow varieties)
- 1/4 cup peach liqueur can substitute with peach schnapps or peach nectar for less alcohol
- 2 tbsp honey agave nectar works for vegans
- 1 cup fresh raspberries frozen work in a pinch
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 8-10 fresh mint leaves plus extra for garnish
- 2 cups sparkling water chilled
- ice cubes for serving
Wash the peaches thoroughly and slice them into thin wedges—about 1/4 inch thick. Leave the skin on for beautiful color contrast and added nutrients.
In a large pitcher, combine the sliced peaches, raspberries, lemon slices, and mint leaves. Gently muddle the fruit with a wooden spoon just enough to release some juices without completely crushing them.
Drizzle honey over the fruit mixture, then pour in the peach liqueur. Stir gently to incorporate, ensuring even distribution.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least one hour. This crucial resting period allows the flavors to meld and infuse.
Just before serving, add your chilled Prosecco and sparkling water to the fruit mixture. Pour slowly along the side of the pitcher to preserve maximum effervescence. Give the sangria a gentle stir.
Pour the Sparkling Peach Sangria into wine glasses filled with ice cubes. Ensure each glass receives a generous helping of the macerated fruits. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves and a peach slice on the rim.
For a lower-alcohol version: Replace half the Prosecco with additional sparkling water and use peach nectar instead of liqueur.
For a lower-sugar option: Substitute monk fruit sweetener for honey (use 1 tablespoon) and choose extra-dry Prosecco.
For a non-alcoholic version: Use alcohol-free sparkling white grape juice and peach nectar.
You can prepare the fruit base up to 24 hours ahead, but add the Prosecco and sparkling water just before serving to maintain maximum effervescence.
