Print Recipe

A light and refreshing sangria made with dry white wine, fresh peaches, and aromatic herbs, perfect for summer gatherings and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) dry white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio recommended)
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • 10–12 fresh basil leaves, gently torn
  • A small handful fresh mint leaves (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) peach schnapps (optional)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) club soda or sparkling water
  • 1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
  • 1–2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
  • Ice cubes for serving

Instructions

  1. Slice the peaches and lemon thinly, about 1/4 inch thick, removing any pits. Set aside.
  2. Gently tear the basil leaves and mint leaves (if using) to release aroma without bruising.
  3. Pour the bottle of dry white wine into a large pitcher.
  4. Add the sliced peaches, lemon slices, torn herbs, and optional peach schnapps to the pitcher.
  5. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to combine ingredients without bruising the fruit.
  6. Taste and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or agave syrup if a sweeter drink is desired. Stir until dissolved.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight but no longer than 24 hours.
  8. Just before serving, add chilled club soda or sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
  9. Serve sangria over ice cubes in glasses, making sure to include some fruit and herbs in each glass.
  10. Garnish with a sprig of fresh basil or mint for presentation.

Notes

Do not add ice to the pitcher to avoid dilution; add ice to individual glasses just before serving. Use fresh herbs and a dry white wine for best flavor. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine and schnapps with white grape juice and peach nectar. Chill sangria for at least 2 hours or overnight for deeper flavor infusion but avoid over 24 hours to prevent fruit from becoming mushy.
