This peach sangria recipe is the perfect, sweet, peachy, end of summer drink. While the peaches are in season, you must try it.
I made a batch and enjoyed it with friends on a Sunday afternoon. They dropped by and I put together a batch. We sat out in the garden sipping this lovely drink , and it couldn't have been more perfect summer drink.
This is my very favourite cocktail ever.
Sangria
Sangria is a wine punch made with wine, chopped fruit and other ingredients. It originated in Spain. Most sangria recipes are made with red wine and oranges, but our peach version uses white wine. It is often quite sweet and fruity in flavor. You can make as sweet as you like. If you want it less sweet than use a less sweet wine as the base and add less sugar.
White Wine Sangria
We have made a white sangria with a base of white wine. Sangria is often made with a sweeter wine, but if you prefer you can choose dry wines, or a crisp white wine for your base. We choose Liebfraumilch as our wine base. It's a blend of Riesling and Sylvaner with fruit aromas, a light body and a slightly sweet finish. You can also use a Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, White Zinfandel, or a dry Riesling or any sweet white wine that you enjoy for your peach sangria.
Fruit
Sangria always includes fresh fruit that's been chopped in it. For our peach sangria we had to include some fresh ripe peaches. You can use yellow peaches or white peaches or a combination of both for this sangria. We used yellow peaches, since they grow in abundance here this time of year. Juicy peaches add so much peach flavor to this white wine peach sangria. Along with our peach slices, we also added some fresh raspberries. The peaches and raspberries are a great summer fruit combination.
Alcohol
Sangria usually has some alcohol along with the wine. Our peach sangria has both triple sec and peach schnapps added. Triple sec is an orange liqueur and it and citrus fruits are traditional ingredients in red wine sangria, and are a lovely addition to our peach sangria. Peach schnapps is a peach liqueur and help add more peach flavor to our punch.
Sugar
Sangria is traditionally on the sweet side. You can adjust the sugar depending on your preferences and how sweet your peaches are. We used instant dissolving sugar. Look for it in grocery stores with the baking ingredients and regular sugar. It's sometimes called berry sugar, or superfine or ultrafine sugar. It's perfect for using in cold drinks, because the sugar crystals are smaller than normal and dissolve in liquids quickly. Some people like to use simple syrup in sangria, but the instant dissolving sugar is easier to use. If you like sweeter sangria you can adjust the amount of sugar for your preferences.
Ginger Ale
We used ginger ale in our sangria, it adds a nice bit of fizz to the sangria and a little more sweetness. You can use sparkling water, club soda, or soda water to add some fizz without adding more sweetness if you wish. Another great option is a lemon-lime soda like 7-up or sprite. The soda pop or sparkling water help make the drink into a punch and give the characteristic fizz to the sangria. If you prefer though, you can make your sangria flat.
Because sangria contains chopped fruit, it's best to prepare the punch ahead of time so that the flavors of the fruit and the fruit juices can infuse into the punch, and the wine and other alcohol can all mix together. Make sure to add your soda pop or sparkling water right before serving, after the rest of the ingredients have had time to sit and marinate, so the pop doesn't lose the fizz.
If you love peaches, you'll love this drink. This easy peach sangria is especially perfect to enjoy during peach season when they're so sweet and juicy. The addition of raspberries is delicious too. It's sweet, and peachy, and has a little fizz from the ginger ale. It's so delicious on hot summer days. It really is the perfect summer cocktail.
This sangria is perfect for entertaining, and great with some friends to help you drink you on a hot summer evening.

Hi Sabrina,
The flowers are dahlias, they're a little high maintenance since they grow from a tuberous root that you have to deep up in the fall and then replant in the spring -so they don't freeze. I don't have any myself, but they sure are beautiful. These were a gift from my mom's garden.
Take care,
Dannyelle
