Bright summery sweet peach sangria with fresh peaches and raspberries. This super easy recipe tastes just like peach rings, perfect for picnics!

Sangria is one of those beautiful recipes that requires very little effort and absolutely no skill whatsoever. Unless you have no hands. In which case it requires a great deal of skill, because you need to learn to pour bottles and slice fruit with your feet.

If you are not in that very small group, you’ll have no problem with this recipe.

All you really need is a large pitcher (preferably with a lid), a vaguely sharp kitchen knife, and a bottle opener. In fact, this last one is debatable. After all you’re making sangria so most of the alcohol you’ll buy will be so cheap it’ll have screw tops anyway.

Peach Sangria Components

Again, you don’t need very much. And you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg either. This should only cost a few fingers and toes.

• Dry White Wine
• Moscato
• Sparkling Water (Peach Flavored)
• Brandy (Peach Flavored)
• Fresh Peaches
• Fresh Raspberries

The Liquid

This may seem like a large amount of alcohol. But the point of sangria is to get drunk without realizing it. So if mixing this many things scares you, maybe go drink a nice refreshing scotch.

White Wine

Your white wine should be dry.

If you need help finding one you like, here’s a quick guide to finding wines you’ll actually enjoy.

Go for something sweeter and you’ll run the risk of making something unbearably sweet. This already tastes like peach rings, even with dry white wine. If you want something even sweeter, try jello shots.

Good dry white wines to use? Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, or Dry Riesling.

I chose Beach House Sauvignon Blanc because it has a very tropical flavor. I felt like going extra summery with this sangria. It’s a New World Sauvignon Blanc which is why it’s more fruity than a typical Old World variety!

Moscato

Your moscato will add bubbles, flavor, and sweetness. Try to go for one that is middling sweet. Too cheap and too sugary and everything will taste like soda. An in-between option is perfect to add a bit of sugar without overwhelming. If you can find a peach moscato, that would be even better, but they can be hard to find in boutique wine shops.

Sparkling Water

Sparkling water adds a bit of flavor and alot of fizz. (This fizz becomes important when it comes to the fruit.) Peach or Raspberry are your best choices. But if you find another flavor, try to match your second fruit.

Brandy

You only need ¼ to ½ cup brandy. It should add not only extra flavor, but a bit more alcohol.

Brandy is fortified wine so it will have a higher ABV (Usually around 40% ABV whereas most wines are 13% alcohol.) Not a fan of brandy? Or not a fan of buying a whole bottle of brandy to use ¼ cup? (I’ve had the same bottle in my cupboard for 7 years now.)

Try using gin, bourbon, or vodka. 

If you’re worried that your pitcher won’t have space for 3 whole bottles of liquid, alternate adding equal amounts of white wine and moscato until you reach 3 cups each. Then add 2 cups sparkling water. Then repeat until you fill the pitcher.

The Fruit

If you’re making peach sangria…peaches might be a nice addition. Choose a second fruit that will pair well with peaches. I chose raspberries for the color, but you could also try: mangos, grapefruit, or other berries. Find one that also pairs with your sparkling water choice.

Serving your Sangria

Scoop a couple of pieces of fruit out for each glass. Then pour your chilled sangria over top until you have your preferred amount. (No, the whole pitcher should not be your preferred amount.)

If you have any moscato or sparkling water left, feel free to top off your glass to make it extra bubbly!

Don’t forget the fruit!

Seriously. There’s loads of vitamins and stuff in fruit. Especially if they are ripe. Also these fruits have been soaked in alcohol. So they’re extra spiked. Like little moscato bombs.

But do it for the vitamins.

Storing your Sangria

The fizzy aspect of sangria means it doesn’t last too long, even sealed in the fridge. You shouldn’t make it more than one day in advance. But you can store the leftovers for up to 3 days in the fridge before the moscato really starts to go flat.
