Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 3 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- 1 orange, sliced into rounds
- 1 lime, sliced into rounds
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Liquids
- 1 cup Sauvignon Blanc (or dry white wine)
- 1/2 cup peach schnapps
- 1 cup club soda
Instructions
- Prepare the fruits: Wash all fruits thoroughly to remove any dirt or residues. Slice the peaches into wedges and the orange and lime into thin rounds to ensure a balanced infusion of flavors.
- Combine fruits and mint: In a large pitcher, add the sliced peaches, orange slices, lime slices, and fresh mint leaves. Stir gently to mix the ingredients without bruising the fruit.
- Add alcoholic components: Pour in the Sauvignon Blanc and peach schnapps over the fruit mixture. Stir lightly to blend the flavors evenly while maintaining the integrity of the fruit pieces.
- Add club soda before serving: Just before serving, pour in the club soda to add a refreshing fizz and lighten the sangria’s texture.
- Chill to meld flavors: Place the sangria in the refrigerator and chill for at least one hour. This resting time allows the fruits to infuse the wine and schnapps, enhancing the drink’s depth of flavor.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the sangria over ice cubes in glasses. Garnish each glass with additional fresh mint leaves or extra slices of peach, orange, or lime to enhance presentation and aroma.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for optimal sweetness and flavor infusion.
- Adjust the amount of peach schnapps according to desired sweetness and alcohol strength.
- Chilling the sangria longer than one hour enhances the infusion but avoid over-soaking the fruit to prevent bitterness.
- Club soda is added last to preserve carbonation and freshness.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine and peach schnapps with peach-flavored sparkling water.
