Not to be that person, but I fell in love with sangria when I studied abroad in Madrid in college. I mean, it would be hard not to, really.

Any time I see sangria on a cocktail menu, I’m still likely to order it. And since red wine and I don’t always like each other much, I’m especially drawn to a good white peach sangria.

Is there anything better than crisp white wine and juicy peaches in one glass? Only if you add a few fresh raspberries to the mix!

When friends are coming over, there’s nothing better than mixing up a pitcher of sangria and enjoying a glass or two in the sunshine while the kids play in the backyard. Trust me.

Stephie’s testing notes

Making sangria is a great way to dress up an inexpensive bottle of wine. Got a kind of mid bottle of wine you want to use up? Sangria. The fruit, schnapps, and splash of sparkling water will fix it right up.
If you want to let this chill for more than 3-4 hours, wait to add the raspberries. You can chill the sangria for as long as overnight, but the raspberries will tint it a darker pink and can get a bit soft if you add them upfront. Stir them in just before serving if you want to keep them firm and prevent them from turning the sangria pink.
Use white or yellow peaches. If you have them, fresh white peaches add a more subtle flavor to the sangria, while yellow peaches have a more robust flavor. Just make sure to use ripe peaches or else they won’t taste like much at all!

Dry white wine: I prefer to use a Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc for this white peach sangria. The crispness of these varieties works well with the sweet fruit for a sangria that is refreshing but not overly sweet.
Peach nectar: This adds extra peach flavor to the sangria. Look for it with the speciality juices or in the international aisle at the grocery store. If you can’t find any, you can use peach juice instead.
Peach schnapps: Optional, but nice for an added kick and hint of peach flavor. If you don’t have peach schnapps, you could use peach vodka, brandy, or even a bit of orange liqueur.
Fresh fruit: A sliced fresh peach, a sliced lemon, and fresh raspberries. You can choose to peel the peach or not—it looks pretty with the peel on, but not everyone loves the texture of peach skins! The lemon adds a nice bit of acidity and brightens the cocktail. The raspberries are optional but a delicious addition.
Sparkling water: For a bit of fizz. I like to use regular sparkling water, but club soda works well, too. You could even use a flavored sparkling water if you like.

What’s the best wine to use?

One of the best things about making your own sangrias is that you can use a nice bottle of wine, but you don’t need to. In fact, this white peach sangria recipe is a great way to dress up an inexpensive bottle of wine.

I personally like crisp, dry white wine as the base for this peach sangria. Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc are my first choice.

If you prefer a sweeter sangria, you can use a Riesling or a Moscato instead. Alternately, you could add a bit of sweetener—such as simple syrup or agave—to the mixture. I don’t recommend doing both, as that would make the sangria very sweet.

Making this easy white peach sangria

Genuinely, this recipe is as easy as mixing all of the ingredients except for the sparkling water into a pitcher. Cover and chill in the fridge for 3-4 hours to let the flavors meld before serving.

If you know you’re going to finish the entire batch of sangria, you can go ahead and add the sparkling water to the pitcher just before serving. But if you are just enjoying a glass or two, I suggest topping each glass with the bubbles as you serve them.

Garnish with more fresh peach slices or even a sprig of mint and enjoy!

FAQs

Should I serve sangria over ice?

Sangria is meant to be enjoyed cold, so ice can definitely help with that. If you want to serve it over ice, add the ice cubes to the glass, not the pitcher. You don’t want to dilute the sangria.

That said, ice isn’t my favorite for that very reason: dilution. Instead, I recommend adding some pieces of frozen fruit to your glass, such as frozen peach slices or raspberries. They’ll keep your drink cold without watering it down.

Can I use lemon-lime soda instead of sparkling water or club soda?

Yes, but keep in mind that it will sweeten the sangria considerably. I don’t recommend this is if you are already using a sweet wine or if you added simple syrup to the mix.
