Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 lime, sliced
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Liquids
- 1 cup Sauvignon Blanc (or dry white wine)
- 1/2 cup peach schnapps
- 1 cup club soda
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues. Slice the peaches into wedges and the orange and lime into thin rounds, ensuring even slices for better flavor distribution.
- Combine fruits and mint: In a large pitcher, add the sliced peaches, orange slices, lime slices, and several fresh mint leaves. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients without bruising the fruit.
- Add wine and schnapps: Pour in 1 cup of Sauvignon Blanc or dry white wine along with 1/2 cup of peach schnapps over the fruit mixture. Stir lightly to mix the flavors together.
- Add club soda: Just before serving, pour in 1 cup of club soda to introduce a refreshing fizz, stirring gently to combine.
- Chill: Refrigerate the sangria for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld and intensify, resulting in a balanced and flavorful drink.
- Serve: Pour the sangria over ice in individual glasses. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves or extra fruit slices for an appealing presentation and added aroma.
Notes
- Use ripe and juicy peaches for the best flavor and sweetness.
- For a less sweet sangria, reduce the amount of peach schnapps or club soda.
- Allowing the sangria to chill for longer than one hour will enhance the infusion of flavors.
- This recipe can be adapted by adding other fruits like berries or pineapple for variation.
- Serve immediately after adding club soda to maintain the fizz.
