Ingredients

Scale

Alcohol and Liquids

  • 1 bottle of dry white wine (750 ml)
  • 1 cup peach schnapps
  • 2 cups soda water or lemon-lime soda

Fresh Fruits

  • 2 cups fresh peaches, sliced
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 lemon, sliced
  • 1 lime, sliced

Additional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • Ice cubes


Instructions

  1. Wash Fruits: Wash all your fruits thoroughly using a gentle produce wash to remove any dirt or residues.
  2. Slice Peaches: Slice the peaches into wedges by cutting around the pit and twisting the halves apart to get clean slices.
  3. Prepare Strawberries: Hull the strawberries by removing the green tops and slice them into thin pieces or halves.
  4. Slice Citrus: Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds, about 1/4-inch thick, to evenly distribute the citrus flavor.
  5. Combine Fruits: In a large pitcher or bowl, combine the sliced peaches, strawberries, orange, lemon, and lime, creating a colorful base for the sangria.
  6. Add Wine: Pour the entire bottle of dry white wine over the fruit, infusing it with fruity aromas.
  7. Add Schnapps: Add the peach schnapps to the mixture for an extra burst of peach flavor and sweetness.
  8. Mix Gently: Gently stir with a long spoon to combine, being careful not to mash the fruit to maintain texture.
  9. Chill: Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor melding.
  10. Prepare Glasses: When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice cubes to keep the sangria refreshingly cold.
  11. Pour Sangria: Pour the sangria over the ice, filling the glass about three-quarters full, including some fruit slices for visual appeal and taste.
  12. Add Soda: Top off each glass with soda water or lemon-lime soda, depending on your preference to add fizz and a light sweetness.
  13. Stir: Gently stir to combine the soda with the wine mixture, ensuring the flavors blend well.
  14. Garnish: Add fresh mint leaves to each glass for an elevated presentation and fresh aroma.
  15. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing homemade peach sangria!

Notes

  • For best flavor, allow the sangria to refrigerate overnight so the fruits can fully infuse into the wine and schnapps.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by choosing soda water for a lighter taste or lemon-lime soda for added sweetness.
  • Fresh mint is optional but adds a lovely aroma and visual appeal when serving.
  • Use ripe but firm peaches and fresh strawberries for optimal texture and flavor.
  • This recipe serves about 6, making it ideal for small gatherings or parties.
