In summer the grocery store shelves teem with lush, juicy stone fruit. There is nothing more succulent than a perfectly ripe peach. Add something tipsy to the mix, and you’ve got a perfectly refreshing, seasonal party drink! This chilled white sangria with fresh peaches is so easy to make. Enjoy it to cool down on a hot summer evening.
When it comes to traditional Spanish sangrias, red wine usually plays a starring role. In this lighter sangria, white wine, peach liqueur, and ginger ale combine to create a subtly sparkling peach sangria. Of course, fresh ripe peach slices play the starring role here. This sweet and summery beverage is crisp, clean, and very easy to prepare. It’s the perfect seasonal summer flavor, so cool and refreshing. This light cocktail is like a mini vacation in a pitcher. Cheers!

Peach Sangria
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh yellow peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup peach liqueur or peach schnapps
- 750 milliliters white wine (1 bottle)
- 1 liter ginger ale, chilled
NOTES
Instructions
- Place the sliced peaches into the bottom of the sangria pitcher.
- In a small saucepan, bring 1/4 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool. This is your simple syrup.
- Pour the simple syrup, peach liqueur and white wine over the peaches. Stir.Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it sit for at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- When ready to serve, top the pitcher off with chilled ginger ale and stir gently. Serve in wine glasses, allowing a piece of fruit or two into each glass.
- The ginger ale will lose its carbonation quickly in the pitcher, but will still add a great flavor. If you'd like a more sparkling sangria, top the glasses off, rather than the pitcher. Fill each glass half full with sangria and top off with ginger ale. This will make the final beverage more carbonated and sparkling.

Looks so good.
I just got a flat of peaches from Costco so maybe this will work
Charles Costco is the best for that kind of thing! Here are a few more ideas: https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2014/06/peach-saffron-preserves/ https://toriavey.com/history-kitchen/2012/08/opera-escoffier-and-peaches-the-story-behind-the-peach-melba/ https://toriavey.com/toris-kitchen/2012/08/peach-and-blueberry-crisp/
Should I use a large bottle of wine or a small one?
Hi Joyce, use a standard bottle of wine – 750 ml.
Girls wk @ beach. My job is to make sangria for sitting on balcony in eve watching ocean. Thanks for recipe. Will let you know how it goes over.
Jealous Sue! Have a great time!
Love this recipe
I can’t wait to try this!! What white wine would you recommend? Could I use moscato to make this? Or would that be too sweet to use? Also I can’t believe it took me so long to find your blog, I love it!!
I just bought moscato to make this… Did you make yours with moscato, and if so, how did it turn out? THANKS!
Hi Laura, I used a Chardonnay. Moscato is quite sweet, so you may not need the additional sugar syrup… best to mix the drink and taste, then add the syrup if it needs more sweetness. Enjoy!
I already have a bottle of premade simple syrup from the store…if I used that how much would I put into the recipe?
Start with 1/4 cup and add more to taste.
Having a girls night to watch The Bachelorette and I was thinking of making sangrias. Thanks for the recipe. It’s perfect!
GREAT recipe! I love the addition of ginger ale (or fevertree ginger beer) for taste and sparkle. I had never thought of it before. Here’s to being a tourist in your home state – which I got to do last summer as well.
Do you taste the ginger ale much ? I’m not a fan of it ….. If so what else could I use ? Is it just for the bubbles ? Thanks.
Cathy
Hi Cathy! You can sub 7-up or Sprite if you prefer. It’s mostly for bubbles and sweetness, though I like the bit of flavor the ginger provides. If you don’t, no biggie, those subs will work great!
My sister made this sangria for a Memorial Day BBQ last weekend – Sooo refreshing! You’ve both made a white wine convert out of this merlot lover!
Yay! I love it too. Great for the warmer weather.
This was delicious! I used frozen peaches nd frozen berry! It was not the season for fresh fruit. Yummy!
Happy you liked it Sondra! 🙂
How do you print this out WITHOUT the extras?
Hi Scott, there is a print recipe button just above the ingredient list.
Hi Sweetheart!!
This is soooo pretty!! And with Ginger Ale! YUM!
I made this this weekend with some Sauvignon Blanc, delicious! I was a little lazy when it came to making simple syrup so I used Agave Nectar instead, still tasted great. Thanks for the perfect poolside treat!
The fruit in the picture looks more like a nectarine than a peach to me.
So can you make this recipe with nectarines as well? (I love them both). How about plums or those plout-y things – I think they’re considered stone fruits as well.
Hi Jdana, they are peaches, not nectarines. The sangria would also work well with nectarines, they would add a slight tartness which would be nice.
That’s awesome to hear! I just returned from a much longer trip– over 8,000 miles and a bunch of states, but I’d love to stick to California next time and see everything! Love your sangria!
Made it with freshly picked, sweet and succulent Ohio peaches.
Oh, I can almost taste the combination of these drinks together and peaches.. yummy!
