For the ultimate summer cocktail, you need this homemade peach sangria. Made with crisp pinot grigio, sweet peach brandy and plenty of fresh fruit, this refreshing peach sangria is the perfect thirst quencher for those warm nights on the patio.
I might have a crush on sangria, but can you blame me? Sangria packs a punch, but the ripe fruit offers just the right balance for one smooth cocktail. Need a brunch cocktail? Sangria has you covered. Sipping the night away? Sangria has a pair of evening shoes for the occasion.
On top of that, sangria is so adaptable, which makes it extra fun. No matter what time of year, you can customize sangria to feature your favorite seasonal fruits and flavors, like I did with this cranberry-apple cider holiday sangria. Peaches happen to be my favorite fruit, so enjoying a glass of this peach sangria on the patio is a must for me once the summer hits.
Plus, this peach sangria is beyond convenient for when you're entertaining a crowd and need a batch-style cocktail option. Don't get me wrong. I love playing bartender for friends, but sometimes you want to kick back and not run around trying to mix a customized drink for everyone. For those moments, put this peach sangria on your party menu.
How to Make Peach Sangria
If you've ever made sangria, you already know how simple it is, and this homemade peach sangria recipe is no exception. We simply combine pinot grigio with peach nectar, peach brandy and triple sec and then add some fresh fruit and pop it in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to come together. While we can get creative with our fruit additions, this particular peach sangria recipe calls for strawberries, an orange and peaches.
In some of my sangria recipes, I like to add simple syrup as well, but I find the peach nectar takes care of business. However, it's a personal preference, so if you find it needs a little extra sweetener, you're more than welcome to add some simple syrup.
You may want to make the final decision on additional sweetener once the sangria has time to sit in the refrigerator. The fruit will add some sweetness as well, so you don't want to go overboard.
Can Sangria Sit Overnight?
You bet. In fact, you really should. I don't recommend making this sangria at time of serving. At minimum, give the sangria four hours to chill, but overnight is best.
Allowing this homemade peach sangria to sit in the refrigerator overnight gives the fruit flavors time to meld. The sangria is noticeably more delicious the day after it sits in the refrigerator, so you'll be glad you gave it time to work its magic. Plus, this make-ahead convenience is perfect for entertaining. Bonus.
How to Serve Peach Sangria
I love adding a bubbly kick to my drinks, especially sangria. For some bubbles, you can pour in a 12-ounce can of club soda into the sangria right before serving. Ginger ale is also a tasty option if you'd like to give this peach sangria a slight spice kick.
That said, this step is optional. Some people prefer a bubble-less sangria, and while I find those people a bit strange, you can leave out the club soda and still have a refreshing drink. As another option, you can put a can of club soda on the side, so people can add bubbles if they'd like.
Oh, and adding a few fresh peach slices in your serving glasses never hurt anyone. Now drink up!
Perfect Pairing for Peach Sangria
Peaches and mozzarella belong together. For me, the combination gives me a peaches-and-cream vibe, which is never a bad thing. Peaches also work well with prosciutto and fresh basil, so a prosciutto-pesto pizza is an amazing accompaniment to this peach sangria.
For something lighter, a caprese salad is perfect. You can serve the caprese classically, or feel free to add some prosciutto and fresh peaches.

Girl, this was made for me! I love peaches (they might be my favorite fruit) and I could spend an entire afternoon sipping this sangria on the porch this summer!
★★★★★
Sounds like a good way to spend the day!
I make a ginger peach sangria sometimes and absolutely love it—but I’m loving this one with all of the fruit beyond just the peaches. Can’t wait to make it!
★★★★★
That sounds delicious too!
This drink was delicious! I love that I can make it ahead of time and not be fussing about it when my guests arrive! Thanks for the recipe
★★★★★
So glad to hear that! ❤️
I love your recommendation to let this sit overnight in the refrigerator before serving. I always have so many things to do when we're hosting guests for dinner and getting to make things ahead of time makes it so much easier. I'd never think about making sangria early since I would have assumed the fruit would get even mushier -- can't wait to give this tip a try for our next dinner party!
If you want to avoid mushy fruit, you could always replace the fruit that's been infusing the sangria with fresh fruit right before serving. Hope you enjoy!
Peaches definitely go with mozzarella! We are going to have to make this peach sangria the next time we have a cheese board!
★★★★★
I hope you do! It'll be a great match.
OMG. Yes! I love this peach sangria recipe. I've never made mine with peach nectar before- just sliced peaches and peach snapps. Yours sounds and looks so delicious. It is on my must try for this weekend. And adore the pairing with fresh mozzarella. I totally agree with you on the peaches and cream vibe.
Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend!
This is so cool and refreshing, just perfect for summer when peaches are in season!
★★★★★
For sure! One of my favorite ways to use summer peaches.
