Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 peaches, sliced thin
- 1 cup berries, blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- 1 bottle crisp white wine, or rosé wine
- 1 cup peach nectar, from concentrate
- ⅓ cup Grand Marnier, or Cointreau
- lemon-lime soda
- fresh mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- In a pitcher, add all ingredients except for lemon-lime soda. Cover and chill about 1 hour.
- Pour into individual glasses, leaving room for soda and ice. Top off with about 1/4 cup lemon per glass.
- Add ice and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a crisp, dry white wine or rosé to balance the sweetness of the fruit and peach nectar - this keeps the sangria light and refreshing.
- Chill the sangria for at least 1 hour before serving, but no need to wait overnight. This recipe is meant to be quick and easy with great flavor from the start.
- Add the lemon-lime soda just before serving to keep the bubbles lively and the drink extra refreshing.
- Thinly slice your fruit so it infuses quickly and looks beautiful in the pitcher and glasses - presentation matters!
- Garnish each glass with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color and an added layer of cool, herbal aroma.
- This recipe is part of our Cocktail Recipes Collection.
- This sangria is amazing with summery proteins like 10-Minute Garlic Shrimp.
