A simple and refreshing sangria recipe featuring summer stone fruits like peaches, nectarines, and plums, perfect for parties and large gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) medium-bodied dry red wine (Tempranillo, Garnacha, or Merlot)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) brandy (optional but recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) orange liqueur (Cointreau or Triple Sec)
  • 2 large ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 2 medium nectarines, sliced thinly
  • 2 medium plums (yellow or red), pitted and sliced
  • 1 large orange, thinly sliced
  • 1 small lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water or club soda (added before serving)

Instructions

  1. Peel the peaches by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then plunge into ice water to slip off skins easily. Slice peaches, nectarines, plums, orange, and lemon thinly.
  2. In a large pitcher, pour in the bottle of red wine, 1/2 cup brandy, and 1/4 cup orange liqueur. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add all the sliced fruit and the cinnamon stick to the pitcher. Pour in 1/4 cup simple syrup or adjust sweetness to taste. Stir gently to mix without bruising the fruit.
  4. Cover the pitcher tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Just before serving, add 1 cup sparkling water or club soda for fizz. Stir gently and serve over ice with some soaked fruit in each glass.

Notes

Peeling peaches reduces bitterness from the skin. Letting the sangria chill overnight allows flavors to meld beautifully. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz. Adjust sweetness with simple syrup to taste. If sangria tastes too strong, dilute with chilled water or extra soda. Cinnamon stick can be left in for aroma or removed for cleaner taste.
