Print Recipe

A light, effervescent peach sangria blending ripe peaches with sparkling wine and a splash of citrus, perfect for easy summer sipping and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup peach puree (made from blending 2 peaches)
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) brut or extra dry Prosecco or Champagne
  • 1 cup (240 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) peach schnapps (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup
  • A handful fresh mint leaves for garnish
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe peaches. To peel, blanch peaches in boiling water for 30 seconds then plunge into ice water to slip skins off.
  2. Blend 2 of the sliced peaches in a blender or food processor until smooth to make about 1 cup of peach puree.
  3. In a large pitcher, combine peach puree, white wine, peach schnapps, fresh lemon juice, and simple syrup. Stir well.
  4. Add the remaining peach slices to the pitcher for texture.
  5. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and cool.
  6. Just before serving, add the chilled sparkling wine to the pitcher and stir gently to combine without losing bubbles.
  7. Serve over ice cubes in glasses and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Notes

Use ripe, fragrant peaches for best flavor. Add sparkling wine just before serving to keep bubbles lively. Frozen peaches can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust simple syrup and lemon juice to balance sweetness. Mint leaves should be lightly bruised to release aroma without bitterness. For a lighter version, swap peach schnapps with peach nectar.
