Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) rosé wine, chilled
- 3 medium white nectarines, pitted and sliced thin
- 1 cup (240 ml) sparkling water, chilled
- 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves, gently bruised
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Ice cubes, as needed for serving
Instructions
- Wash, pit, and slice 3 medium white nectarines thinly.
- Pour one bottle (750 ml) of chilled rosé wine into a large pitcher.
- Add the sliced nectarines, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of honey or simple syrup if using. Stir gently to combine.
- Lightly bruise 10 to 12 fresh mint leaves by clapping them between your palms and toss them into the pitcher.
- Place the pitcher in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally 2–3 hours, to let the flavors marry.
- Just before serving, add 1 cup (240 ml) of chilled sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently once more.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over. Garnish with extra mint sprigs or a thin nectarine slice.
Notes
Do not add sparkling water too early to preserve fizz. Adjust honey to balance tartness if nectarines are not very sweet. Avoid over-macerating nectarines to prevent mushiness. For a lower-alcohol version, replace half the rosé with sparkling water or dry white grape juice. Mint can be swapped with basil or thyme for a different herbal note.
