This peach sangria is ultra refreshing and beautiful to look at, featuring white wine, brandy, and a load of sweet fruit. Perfect for entertaining!
This summer, more than any other, Alex and I have been delving into signature drinks. Turns out that adding a drink pairing truly makes things more fun. Taco night is even better with frozen lime daiquiris, 4th of July is more festive with frozen sangria, and an evening on the porch is amped up with frozen margaritas. So when we came into a load of peaches, of course we had to make a peach-themed drink! Meet our peach sangria recipe: lightly sweet, refreshingly, and full of beautiful seasonal fruit.
How to make peach sangria
Sangría is a traditional wine punch that originates from Spain. A classic sangria is made with red wine and chopped fruit, and often orange juice or brandy. But there are lots of sangria variations as well: peach sangria, white sangria, apple cider sangria, and so forth.
This peach sangria recipe is a white sangria recipe, meaning that it uses white wine instead of red wine. To create our rendition of the recipe, we looked no further than our favorite Spanish chef, Jose Andres. The “Spanish” way to make sangria that Chef Jose recommends is this:
- Mix fruit with sugar and let it macerate (stand at room temperature and break down) for 1 hour
- Add white wine and brandy.
- Serve with a splash of sparkling water.
- Always, always eat the fruit!
With these instructions in mind, we created a delightfully refreshing peach sangria recipe! The result is lightly sweet and highly “drinkable”, with a hint of fruitiness from the fruit. It’s only lightly peach-y, so if you are looking for a strong peach flavor you could substitute peach liqueur for the brandy.
How to grow fresh herbs
This peach sangria uses a handful of fresh mint: and it’s so much easier and cheaper to grow it yourself than getting it at the store! Alex and I grow herbs all summer long, and it’s one of the most satisfying things to run out to the garden and harvest a few herbs. You don’t even need garden space: you can just grow herbs in pots as long as you have a sunny ledge! Adding herbs to your cooking is a healthy flavor addition, without adding calories.
