Sparkling Peach White Sangria Recipe | Kiersten Hickman

Share this: Sangria. The nectar of the Gods. Or, at least the over-worked, over-stressed mom. I love sangria. It’s cool, refreshing and perfect for any occasion. It even has fruit, so technically it could be good for you? Sure. Let’s go with that.

I’ve never been one for red wine, at least not often, so I adapted a recipe from a friend and made my perfect White Peach Sangria!

The Players:

And the juice…I forgot the juice. It’s pictured later. It’s a 100% White Grape / Peach blend. Take 1/2 cup granulated sugar…

Add one can of Sprite (and don’t forget to recycle the can!)

Next, add the juice of 3-4 limes. You can heat your limes in the microwave for about 20 seconds to help them let go of their juice. It’s all fizzy, limey, sugary yumminess. Just give it a good stir.

White Sangria Recipe - The Art of Food and Wine

Add your wine. Pinot Grigio. The whole big bottle. (Don’t forget to recycle that too!) Stir a little more…

Here’s the forgotten juice. I like to use a white grape / peach blend. Brand isn’t important, just get some no sugar added / 100% juice. Add 1 cup of that and stir.

Now for the fruit… I use frozen whole strawberries and sliced peaches. You could add more fruit or different fruit altogether. It’s really what you want. I like the pink color that the strawberries give to the sangria and the peaches are a nice compliment to the white grape / peach juice. Let it sit for at least an hour or two so the sugar has a chance to fully dissolve and the fruit can lend its flavor to the mix. A variation for the 4th of July would be to add blueberries instead of peaches for a red, white and blue sangria!

When it comes to enjoying a refreshing drink, few things can rival a perfectly made white wine sangria. Whether you're hosting a summer party or just looking to unwind after a long day, this fruity and fizzy beverage is sure to delight your taste buds. With its vibrant colors and delicious combination of flavors, white wine sangria is a favorite among many.

Creating the perfect white wine sangria begins with selecting the right ingredients. One essential component is a 100% White Grape / Peach juice blend. This juice adds a burst of sweetness and complements the flavors of the wine and fruits. To enhance the tangy profile, one can of Sprite is added, providing a refreshing fizz that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients.

The juice of freshly squeezed limes comes next, lending a zesty twist to the mix. Heating the limes in the microwave for a short time makes it easier to extract the juice. Once combined with the sugar, Sprite, and juice blend, the concoction becomes a delightful fusion of limey, sugary goodness.

Pinot Grigio, a light and crisp white wine, is the star of this sangria. Pour in the whole bottle, ensuring a generous amount of wine to infuse its flavors into the mix. Give it a good stir to blend everything seamlessly.

Don't forget the forgotten juice! Add a cup of the white grape/peach juice blend to enhance the fruity undertones. Now comes the fun part – the fruit. Frozen whole strawberries and sliced peaches are the preferred choice, adding a burst of color and taste. Feel free to experiment with different fruits, but the combination of strawberries and peaches truly elevates the sangria's appeal.

To allow the flavors to meld perfectly, let the sangria sit for at least an hour or two. This resting time allows the sugar to dissolve completely and the fruit to infuse its essence into the mix. The result is a refreshing and flavorful drink that is sure to impress your guests.

For a festive twist, consider adding blueberries instead of peaches to create a red, white, and blue sangria perfect for Fourth of July celebrations. The burst of blue adds a patriotic touch while maintaining the delightful flavors of the original recipe.

So, the next time you're in need of a delicious beverage, reach for a glass of white wine sangria. Its refreshing taste and colorful presentation make it a hit at any gathering. Cheers!
