Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Riesling)
- 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 4–5 sprigs fresh thyme or basil leaves
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) peach liqueur or brandy (optional)
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water
- 1 lemon or lime, thinly sliced
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Rinse peaches and citrus thoroughly. Slice peaches about 1/4 inch thick and thinly slice the lemon or lime. Remove thyme leaves from stems or use basil leaves whole or torn.
- Pour the entire bottle of white wine into a large pitcher. Add sliced peaches, citrus, and fresh herbs. Pour in peach liqueur or brandy and simple syrup. Gently stir to combine without crushing the fruit.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 4 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, stir in the club soda or sparkling water. Fill glasses with ice cubes and ladle sangria over ice along with some fruit and herbs for garnish.
- Sip slowly and enjoy responsibly.
Notes
Use ripe but firm peaches for best texture. Add club soda just before serving to keep fizz. Basil should be added last to prevent wilting. Large ice cubes melt slower and keep drink chilled longer. For non-alcoholic version, substitute white grape juice for wine and omit liqueur.
