White Peach Sangria Recipe

Picture this: a sizzling summer afternoon, your closest friends are gathered around, and you’re about to unveil the ultimate refreshing treat that will instantly transform your patio into the most popular spot in town—my irresistible white peach sangria.

I adore putting together cool beverages, and my White Peach Sangria is a lively mix that fits any moment. Bottling up a crisp Sauvignon Blanc with peach schnapps and a splash of brandy gives this sangria a bold backbone.

“They’re all base elements you would find in a summertime cocktail,” says Loria Stern, the chef and owner of the California-based catering company Loria Stern. Then, to balance all that booziness, she adds the juice of a white cranberry, which is actually a varietal of the red cranberry; the two are indistinguishable until the fruit is blended or juiced.

Stern also slices up fresh white peaches, and their pristine, sweet simplicity is key. Peaches are at their most summery when they are whitish-yellow with a little blush.

FAQ

• Q:Can I use various fruits in this sangria? A: Yes, you can swap or add fruits such as strawberries, oranges, or nectarines to make it your own.
• Q:How long should you wait before serving the sangria? A: Waiting isn’t really a thing when it comes to sangria. It’s best to get it made ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours but really anywhere from 4 to 24 hours is totally fine. Letting it steep for a really long time also works in your favor because it becomes less fruity and more wine-like.
• Q:Is it possible to create a non-alcoholic version of this sangria? A: It is possible. The sangria’s alcoholic components—wine, peach schnapps, and brandy—can safely be replaced with additional white cranberry juice or a non-alcoholic wine substitute.
• Q:What kind of white wine is best to use for this recipe? A: We recommend a dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, for a bright, refreshing flavor.
• Q:Do I have to add the simple syrup? A: Simple syrup is needed only if you want a sweeter sangria. It is just another way of saying, “You can add sugar if you like it sweet!” Again, adjust to your taste.
• Q:Can I prepare this sangria in advance?
  A: Yes, but prepare it up to a day in advance. Add the club soda or sparkling water just before serving, to maintain its fizz.
• Q:Suppose I have no white peaches. A: You might use yellow peaches instead. Or use canned peaches. If you can’t find white peaches.

Pro Tips

1. Enhance Fruit Flavor: Before adding the white peaches, raspberries, lemon, and lime to the pitcher, gently muddle them in a bowl. This will release more of their natural juices, enriching the sangria with deeper fruit flavors.
