Ingredients
You don't need a bar cart full of ingredients to make this sparkling peach sangria. Just a few quality items, and you're ready to pour.
- Peach nectar: This adds a concentrated peach flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. Look for it near the juices or in the Hispanic foods section at most grocery stores.
- Peach wine: I love using a bubbly peach wine like Barefoot Wine Fruscato or the peach wine from Aldi. It adds a little fizz and keeps things light.
- Peach schnapps: This adds a deeper peach flavor and a little warmth. A small amount of peach liqueur goes a long way.
- Frozen peach slices: These act as both the fruit and the ice. They chill the sangria without watering it down and look beautiful in the glass or pitcher.

Tips for the Best Sangria
A few small steps can take this peach sangria from good to great.
- Chill your ingredients ahead of time so your sangria is nice and cold when you mix it. Starting with cold wine and nectar means you won't need any ice.
- To keep the sangria cold without watering down the flavor, use frozen fruit instead of ice.
- Let it rest before serving so the flavors have time to meld. Even 10 to 15 minutes can make a difference.
- Serve in a clear pitcher or glass to show off the vibrant color and floating fruit. It makes your drink feel special with very little effort.
- Taste and adjust as needed. If you like a sweeter sangria, add a splash more nectar. Want it stronger? Add a bit more schnapps.
Storage
This sangria is best served fresh, but it's also easy to make ahead or save any leftovers.
- Store in the fridge: Keep it in a covered pitcher or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor stays great, but the fruit may soften a bit over time.
- Make it ahead of time: You can mix the peach nectar, wine, and schnapps a few hours in advance. Just wait to add the frozen peaches until you're ready to serve so they don't get mushy.
- Skip the freezer: Freezing isn't ideal since the fruit texture can change once thawed.
FAQ

Peach nectar is thicker, richer, and made from puréed peaches with a bit of added sugar. Peach juice is lighter and more diluted. Nectar gives this sangria a stronger peach flavor.

Stemless wine glasses, mason jars, or even a clear tumbler all work well. Garnish with a peach slice or sprig of mint to make it extra special.
