Why You Need to Make This Recipe

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.

  • Made for peach lovers. Every sip of this sangria is bursting with sweet peach flavor. If you love peaches, stop what you're doing and make a batch now!
  • Ultra versatile for every occasion. Need a brunch cocktail? Sangria has you covered. Sipping the night away? Sangria has a pair of evening shoes for the occasion.
  • Perfect patio sipper. During the summer months, we need a cooling cocktail for those patio nights. You'll feel refreshed with this peachy sangria by your side all summer long.
  • Makes for easy entertaining. This summer peach sangria is beyond convenient for when you're entertaining a crowd and need a batch-style cocktail option. Prepare it the night before and you have your signature cocktail ready to go.

Bonus: If you love sangria for all sorts of celebrations, make sure you also save my cranberry-apple cider holiday sangria for the fall and winter!

Ingredients

The peach sangria ingredients with black and white labels.

Let's chat wine. I usually make this sangria with pinot grigio, which typically takes on notes of citrus, honeysuckle, pear and stone fruit -- all delicious with peaches. I bet a pinto gris or sauvignon blanc would also work nicely, and riesling is always tasty with peaches. That said, if you reach for a riesling, get a dry variety. A sweet riesling would be too cloying.

You'll notice the peach nectar, which is typically found in the fruit juice aisle of most grocery stores. Not only does this give us that wonderful peachy flavor but it also acts as our sweetener. While some sangria recipes include simple syrup, I don't think it's necessary with the peach nectar.

For another peachy boost, we use peach liqueur. I've also made this with peach brandy, which makes for an equally delicious summer sangria, so know that option is available if you'd rather make that substitution.

And then there's our soaking fruit. Peaches are a must for obvious reasons, but feel free to use other fruits if you'd like. Pineapple and mango, for instance, would add a nice tropical vibe.

Step-by-Step Instructions

If you've ever made sangria, you already know how simple it is, and this homemade peach sangria recipe is no exception.

Step 1: We simply grab a pitcher and combine the pinot grigio with peach nectar, peach liqueur and triple sec (photos 1-4).

Showing the process of pouring the ingredients into a glass pitcher.

Step 2: Now we add our soaking fruit (photo 5). Not only will the fruit help sweeten the sangria but it will also impart more flavor, which is why I like to include a few different options.

Step 3: All that's left is to give it a stir (photo 6) and then refrigerate. And just like that, we have a pitcher of homemade peach sangria waiting for us to sip.

Now pour yourself a glass, enjoy and relax on the patio. You deserve it.

Recipe FAQs

Can sangria sit overnight?

You bet. In fact, you really should let the sangria refrigerate overnight. 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 do you serve peach sangria?

You can pour it straight from the pitcher or give it a bubbly kick. For a bubbly topping, you can pour in a 12-ounce can of club soda into the sangria right before serving. Ginger ale or ginger beer 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. 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!

Expert Tips

  • Don't use an expensive bottle of wine, but get something you'd drink even if you weren't dressing it up as sangria. If you need recommendations, check out this list of affordable wines, which includes plenty of pinot grigio options.
  • Want to use a sparkling wine? I recommend still allowing the liqueur, peach nectar and soaking fruit to sit in the refrigerator and then pour in the sparkling wine, such as Champagne, prosecco or rosè, in the pitcher right before serving.
  • Peaches are wonderful with cinnamon. If you'd like a spiced peach sangria, add a couple cinnamon sticks to the mixture. Always feel free to make any recipe your own with these kind of fun additions.
  • Love this peach sangria? Feel free to use this as a base for other fruity white wine sangrias! Fruit nectars come in so many flavors. For instance, pineapple, mango, pear, guava and apricot all make delicious options.

Perfect Pairing

Peaches and mozzarella belong together. The combination gives a peaches-and-cream vibe, which is never a bad thing. Peaches also work well with prosciutto and fresh basil, so I happen to have the ultimate pizza to pair with this sangria. Give my grilled peach, prosciutto and pesto pizza a try!

For a lovely dessert pairing, I especially love my bourbon-peach clafoutis or honey-lavender ice cream. Peach sangria was made for these two sweet treats.

If you’re looking for the perfect summer drink, this peach sangria is it. I have no doubt this will be your new go-to summer sangria recipe.

Cheers!

    Sounds delicious and would really like to try but always have problems finding ripe peaches. Could you use frozen peaches for this? Have you ever tried it? Thanks

    I froze the mix and when I was ready to drink it I put some in a glass with fresh peaches on the rim and ate it like a slushy. By the time I was about half way through my drink I could slide fresh slices into the drink and finish the drink while eating the peach slices. It was incredibly delicious!!
    Thanks for the recipe!!
