Strawberry Peach Sangria Recipe

by

This Strawberry Peach Sangria is a refreshing and fruity alcoholic beverage perfect for warm gatherings. It combines the sweet flavors of ripe strawberries and juicy peaches with a crisp rosé wine, often enhanced with a touch of fruit liqueur or brandy for an extra kick. The mixture is typically left to chill for several hours, allowing the wine to absorb the flavors of the fruit, creating a beautifully infused and flavorful drink. Served cold and garnished with slices of the macerated fruit, this sangria is a delightful and visually appealing cocktail that’s ideal for sipping on a sunny day or enjoying at a party.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry rosé wine, chilled
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup sliced fresh peaches
  • 1/2 cup peach schnapps or brandy (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness of fruit)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes: Extra sliced strawberries, peaches, lemon slices, fresh mint leaves

Equipment:

  • Large pitcher
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Stirring spoon

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Fruit: Wash and slice the strawberries and peaches.
  2. Combine Ingredients in Pitcher: In a large pitcher, combine the sliced strawberries and peaches.
  3. Add Sugar and Lemon Juice: Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the fruit and gently stir. Pour in the fresh lemon juice. Stir again. This step helps to macerate the fruit and release its juices.
  4. Add Liqueur (Optional): If using, pour the peach schnapps or brandy into the pitcher over the fruit mixture. Stir gently.
  5. Pour in Rosé Wine: Pour the chilled rosé wine into the pitcher with the fruit mixture.
  6. Stir Gently: Stir all the ingredients together gently to combine.
  7. Chill the Sangria: Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together and the fruit to infuse the wine. The longer it chills, the more flavorful it will become.  
  8. Serve: When ready to serve, fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour the strawberry peach sangria over the ice, making sure to include some of the fruit in each glass.
  9. Garnish (Optional): Garnish each glass with extra slices of strawberries, peaches, lemon slices, or a sprig of fresh mint, if desired.

Enjoy this refreshing Strawberry Peach Sangria! Remember to drink responsibly.
