White Peach Sangria
Prep time: 5 mins
Total time: 5 mins
Serves: serves 10
Ingredients:
1/2 of a cup Brandy
1/4 of a cup Sugar (or more to taste)
2 bottles White Wine (a fruity, zesty wine works best i.e. Riseling, Pinot Grigio, Sauvigon Blanc)
3 tablespoons Lemon Juice
6 White Peaches (diced)
2 Lemons (cut into slices)
1 Lime (cut into slices)
1/2 cup Blueberries
1/2 of a cup halved Strawberries (about 15 small strawberries)
1/2 to 1 cup Seltzer Water / Soda Water (optional)
2 cups Ice Cubes
Instructions:
In a large punch bowl or pitcher stir together brandy and sugar until sugar dissolves.
Add white wine and all the fruit and give it a quick stir.
Leave in refrigerator overnight for the flavor of the fruit to mix together with the alcohol.
When ready to serve, add seltzer water and more sugar, if needed.Top off with ice cubes to keep chilled.
If you are planning on serving it straight away, skip placing the bowl in the fridge and add seltzer water to taste (optional) and ice cubes. Serve!
Notes:
1) Letting the alcohol soak with the fruit gives this sangria it's nice pink color. The fruit will also absorb a lot of the alcohol and create less need for extra sugar. That being said, it also tastes great when drunk right away!
2) The fruit may not look as crisp and fresh the next day since it has soaked. Add a few more fresh lemon slices and berries to the top, if presentation is a big factor.
3) Brandy can be substituted with triple sec, if needed. If both are not available it can also be omitted.
4.) Adding soda water is completely optional. It really just depends on how strong you like your sangria.
5) Easily cut this recipe in half if you are looking to just make a large pitcher instead.
