This Peach Rosé Sangria is a bright and bubbly drink perfect for any sunny day! With the sweetness of fresh peaches and a splash of sparkling wine, it’s super thirst-quenching.
Making it is as easy as pie—just chop up some fruit, mix it with the rosé, and let it chill. I love serving this sangria at gatherings, as it always brings smiles and cheers! 🍑🥂
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Dry Rosé Wine: A crisp, dry rosé works best for this sangria. You can also use a light pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc if rosé isn’t available. Just make sure it’s dry to balance the sweetness of the fruit!
Peach Schnapps: If you want to skip the schnapps, substitute it with a splash of any fruity liqueur or even a little extra orange juice instead. It will still be delicious!
Fresh Peaches: When peaches aren’t in season, consider using frozen peaches or canned peaches (in juice, not syrup). They might alter the texture slightly but still add sweetness and flavor.
Orange Juice: You can replace orange juice with lemon juice for a tangy twist, or even use another citrus juice like grapefruit juice for a unique flavor.
How Do I Make Sure My Sangria Is Refreshing and Flavorful?
The key to a great sangria is letting all the ingredients mingle! Start by mixing your liquids well before adding the fruits. This way, you get an even flavor throughout.
- Combine the wine, schnapps, and orange juice first.
- Add fruit slices and gently stir.
- Chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. This chilling time is crucial as it helps the flavors infuse.
- Add ice and sparkling water right before serving to keep it refreshing!
Don’t rush through the chilling process, as this is where the magic happens. Enjoy sipping on this delightful drink with friends or family!
How to Make Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry rosé wine, chilled
- 1 cup fresh peach slices (about 2 peaches)
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup peach schnapps or peach liqueur
- 1/4 cup orange juice, chilled
- 1 tablespoon honey or simple syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
- 1 cup sparkling water or club soda, chilled
- Ice cubes
Time Needed:
You’ll need about 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients and mix everything together. Then, let the sangria chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour—2 to 3 hours is even better! So, the total time is approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, plus chilling time.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Base Ingredients:
In a large pitcher, pour in the chilled dry rosé wine, followed by the peach schnapps and orange juice. Use a spoon to give it a gentle stir, mixing the ingredients well.
2. Add the Fresh Fruit:
Slice up your fresh peaches and add them into the pitcher along with the raspberries. This is going to give your sangria a lovely fruity flavor!
3. Sweeten If Desired:
If you’d like your sangria a touch sweeter, now’s the time to add the honey or simple syrup. Stir it in until it’s fully dissolved so that sweetness is evenly distributed.
4. Chill Out!
Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. If you can wait longer, 2 to 3 hours helps the flavors to blend beautifully, making your sangria even tastier!
5. Add Some Fizz:
When you’re ready to serve, add some ice cubes to the pitcher. Then gently pour in the chilled sparkling water or club soda for that bubbly excitement.
6. Serve It Up:
Pour the sangria into glasses, ensuring each glass gets some of that delightful fruit. For a pretty touch, garnish each glass with a slice of peach on the rim and a few raspberries inside.
7. Enjoy!
Serve immediately and watch everyone enjoy this refreshing, bubbly, and fruity peach rosé sangria! Cheers!
Can I Use Other Fruits in This Sangria?
Absolutely! While peaches and raspberries are delicious, you can get creative with other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or even citrus slices like oranges and lemons. Just make sure the fruits you choose complement the flavors of the rosé!
How Long Can I Store Leftover Sangria?
If you happen to have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Keep in mind that the sparkling water will lose its fizz, so it’s best to add it fresh when you’re ready to enjoy again!
Can I Make This Sangria Alcohol-Free?
Yes! For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rosé with non-alcoholic wine or sparkling grape juice, and use non-alcoholic peach syrup in place of the schnapps. You’ll still get a refreshing and fruity drink!
What If I Want a Sweeter Sangria?
If you prefer a sweeter sangria, simply increase the amount of honey or simple syrup to your taste. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more gradually until you achieve your desired sweetness!
