Peach Sangria
Peach Sangria combines fresh sliced peaches with peach liqueur, white wine, and ginger ale for a fruity and refreshing beverage. The recipe includes making a simple syrup to sweeten the sangria and chilling it to allow flavors to meld. Adding chilled ginger ale just before serving lends a light effervescence that complements the peaches and wine. The sangria is served with fruit pieces in each glass, offering both a drink and a bit of fresh peach.
Ingredients
- 1 pound yellow peaches fresh, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup peach liqueur or peach schnapps
- 750 milliliters white wine (1 bottle)
- 1 liter ginger ale chilled
Instructions
- Place the sliced peaches into the bottom of the sangria pitcher.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool. This is your simple syrup.
- Pour the simple syrup, peach liqueur and white wine over the peaches. Stir.Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, top the pitcher off with chilled ginger ale and stir gently. Serve in wine glasses, allowing a piece of fruit or two into each glass.
- The ginger ale will lose its carbonation quickly in the pitcher, but will still add a great flavor. If you'd like a more sparkling sangria, top the glasses off, rather than the pitcher. Fill each glass half full with sangria and top off with ginger ale. This will make the final beverage more carbonated and sparkling.
Notes
- Use a large pitcher to allow enough room for mixing and chilling the sangria ingredients.
- Chill the sangria for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance fruit infusion.
- Add ginger ale just before serving to retain carbonation; alternatively, top off individual glasses for a fizzier drink.
- Include fresh peach slices in each serving for a decorative and tasty garnish.
