Ingredients
Scale
Main Fruits:
- 4 ripe but firm peaches, thinly sliced
- 8 fluid ounces (237 milliliters) fresh peach juice
Alcoholic Components:
- 750 milliliters (1 bottle) white wine, preferably dry or semi-dry
- 4 fluid ounces (118 milliliters) peach schnapps or peach whiskey
Sparkling Component:
- 8 fluid ounces (237 milliliters) sparkling water or seltzer water, adjust to taste
Instructions
- Craft the foundation of this refreshing libation by layering thinly sliced peaches into a spacious pitcher, ensuring even distribution across the base.
- Pour the crisp white wine (750 milliliters or 25.4 fluid ounces) directly over the peach slices, creating a vibrant liquid canvas.
- Introduce peach juice (120 milliliters or 4 fluid ounces) and peach schnapps (60 milliliters or 2 fluid ounces) into the mixture, gently swirling with a long-handled spoon to integrate the components harmoniously.
- Seal the pitcher with a tight-fitting lid or plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to intermingle and deepen for a minimum of 90 minutes, though optimal infusion occurs between 4 to 24 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove the sangria from the refrigerator and give it a gentle stir to redistribute the fruit and liquids.
- Just before pouring, incorporate sparkling water (120 milliliters or 4 fluid ounces) to introduce a light, effervescent quality to the beverage.
- Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, then carefully ladle the chilled sangria over the ice, ensuring each glass receives a generous portion of fruit.
- Enhance the presentation by garnishing with additional peach slices and, if desired, a delicate sprig of fresh mint to elevate the sensory experience.
Notes
- Choose peaches that are just ripe enough to maintain their texture when mixed into the sangria.
- Opt for a dry white wine to balance the sweetness of the fresh peach flavors.
- Control the drink’s strength by adjusting the amount of sparkling water to your preference.
- Fresh peach juice elevates the overall taste and authenticity of the sangria.
- Carefully measure spirits to ensure the fruit’s delicate flavor remains the star of the drink.
