This peach sangria recipe is the perfect large-batch cocktail to whip up for a summer evening, picnic or barbecue.
Summery, fruity and sweet to its core, our peach sangria recipe is like sunshine in a glass. A mix of fresh peaches and peach schnapps promises that the fruit flavor isn’t a subtle hint—it’s a full-on peach bushel. They’re swirled with white wine and topped with fizzy sparkling water for an extra pop. Just remember to mix it up a few hours before serving so the ingredients and flavors have time to meld into one another. It’s worth the wait!
Peach Sangria Ingredients
- Peaches: While you may instinctually try to find ripe peaches for peach dessert recipes, we actually recommend buying pretty firm peaches for this peach sangria recipe. Firm peaches break down less quickly in the alcohol so there aren’t any floaty bits and mushy peach slices in the pitcher by the end of the night.
- Wine: Since this is a white sangria and not a red sangria, buy a bottle of white wine. Don’t grab something crazy expensive. After all, the wine will be mixed with a lot of other ingredients and not enjoyed by itself, so you can get away with one of the best white wines under $20.
- Peach schnapps: This super-sweet liqueur is infused with real peaches or peach flavoring, depending on the brand. Use leftover peach schnapps in our peach margarita or peach champagne recipes.
- Sparkling water: We top the peach sangria with a bit of sparkling water for a nice fizziness and to dilute the alcohol content and sweetness just a touch.
