Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 2 large ripe peaches, sliced thinly
- 10–12 fresh mint leaves, lightly torn
- 2 ounces (60 ml) peach schnapps or peach liqueur (optional)
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water, plain or lightly flavored
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Ice cubes, enough to fill pitcher or glasses
Instructions
- Wash and slice 2 ripe peaches into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
- Lightly tear 10-12 fresh mint leaves by hand to release oils; avoid chopping finely.
- In a large pitcher, pour the entire bottle of dry white wine (750 ml). Add 2 ounces (60 ml) peach schnapps or liqueur and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.
- Add the peach slices and torn mint leaves to the pitcher. Stir gently to mingle flavors without crushing the fruit.
- Refrigerate the sangria for at least 1 hour (up to 4 hours) to let flavors marry and mint infuse.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water to the pitcher. Stir gently to keep bubbles.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes, pour sangria over the ice, and garnish each glass with a sprig of fresh mint and a peach slice.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid mushy sangria. Lightly tear mint leaves instead of chopping to prevent bitterness. Chill for at least 1 hour for best flavor. Adjust sweetness with honey or agave syrup if needed. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute wine and schnapps with peach juice and sparkling water.
