Ingredients
Scale
Alcohol and Liquids
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (such as Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1/2 cup peach schnapps
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup club soda or sparkling water (chilled)
Fruits
- 3 ripe peaches (pitted and sliced)
- 1 cup strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 orange (sliced into rounds)
Other
- Ice for serving
Instructions
- Combine Liquids: In a large pitcher, pour the dry white wine, peach schnapps, brandy, and simple syrup. Stir well to blend all the ingredients evenly, ensuring the syrup is fully dissolved.
- Add Fruits: Incorporate the sliced peaches, strawberries, and orange rounds into the pitcher. These fresh fruits infuse the sangria with natural sweetness and a vibrant aroma.
- Chill to Infuse: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours or up to overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the drink’s complexity and freshness.
- Add Sparkle and Serve: Just before serving, gently stir in the chilled club soda or sparkling water to add a refreshing effervescence. Serve the sangria over ice in glasses, ensuring each glass gets a spoonful of the infused fresh fruit for presentation and flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute nectarines or mangoes for the peaches if desired, offering a different fruity twist.
- For a sweeter sangria, increase the amount of simple syrup or choose a sweeter white wine variety like Moscato.
- Using chilled club soda keeps the sangria cool and fizzy without diluting the flavors too quickly.
- For best results, prepare the sangria several hours in advance to fully develop the infused flavors.
