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.

Love this sangria! Have made this for several functions and always gets a high five and request for the recipe!!
Love the sound of this recipe! Planning to make for Chrissy day in Aus, usually a scorcher so should be lovely and refreshing! Thank you for sharing!
Hi there, can I use Peach Brandy in this recipe?
Hi Debra, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. Yes, you can use peach brandy.
Hi Tori,
Sounds yummy and easy to put together! Cant wait to try it … can I use Chablis for this recipe?
Hi Pam, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. If you prefer Chablis, feel free to use it in this recipe. 🙂
Can I use proseco and ginger instead of ginger ale and white wine?
Hi Diane, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. Those substitutions sound lovely to me! I say go for it. 🙂
This sangria recipe is great. One of the best we have ever had. Thanks for sharing this on Pinterest.
This recipe sounds fantastic! I have a bottle of peach wine. Could I use it instead of the white wine?
Sure! That would be lovely 🙂 you might need to adjust the sweetness level and sugar amount, as the peach wine might already be somewhat sweet.
Thank you very much Tori. I’m making it for New Year’s Eve. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Does the peach schnapps and wine have to be cold or refrigerated before adding to the pitcher and peaches? Thanks!
Hi Stephanie, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. This sangria goes into the refrigerator to chill before serving, so it’s fine to use room temp ingredients.
SUPER recipe for taste, ease, almost all ingredients on hand and adaptability!
Used my friends peaches from her tree, only an airplane sized bottle of peach liquor, and less simple syrup too. Ginger ale awesome flavor and sweet enough plus easy to adjust per glass.
Truly sunny California in a bottle. Cheers and Thank you!
Instead of soda I used Italian sweet sparkling wine
Cool, but I’m like 99.9 sure that’s a nectarine in your photo.
I can see why you would think that, Lauren, but it’s a peach – it’s hard to see the fuzz in this lighting. 🙂 But a nectarine would work great, too!
Making this for my wedding next weekend a 5gallon container. Just mixed a small batch to try and it’s sitting now. I’m trying to get it all done early and the wedding isn’t until Saturday. Do u think if I make it on Wednesday, it will keep until Saturday? I was thinking I’d refrigerate it until Saturday and then serve over ice. Was also planning to add the ginger ale/soda water to each glass served instead of the big batch. Thoughts?
I would make it 48 hours before. It will probably last longer than that but 48 hours is definitely safe. Also yes, wait until the last minute to add the carbonated portion otherwise it will go flat. Enjoy!
Are you to use a small bottle (750 ml) of wine or a big one (1.5L)?
Standard size – 750 ml.
Will this recipe taste the same if I double it and prepare in a small punch bowl? I hope so it sounds so good!
Yes it should!
And they don’t even drink!!!
Peach Sangria – made a small batch for my mom and grandma as a treat. They asked for more.
Do you think this will work with diet ginger ale?
Yes Jill!
Went to a poker game where one of the players made this and brought it to the game. Out of the 7 players, only the person that made it and myself drank alcohol. So, needless to say between the two of us, we got rather toastie. But, it sure tasted great. Especially the peaches! Incidentally, I might have had a chance to win had I not drank the Sangria, but it was worth every nickel, dime, quarter that I lost.
Very happy you liked it Doug! Hope you didn’t lose too much! Haha
How much does this make? I’m trying to make for a party to serve out of a 5 gallon jug. Once it is chilled over night, I may remove the fruit (to keep it from stopping up the spicket and it can be added to top off the drink along with the ginger ale. What do you think?
Hi Dare, this recipe makes about 8 cups. I think your plan sounds good; I will say that I’ve never had the fruit stop up a spigot on a party jug, but if you’re concerned you can certainly add it to the cups instead.
Dare. I’m trying to do same thing. How many batches of recipe did u do to get 5 gallons
LOVE this receipe!!!! I started making this last summer now anytime I go someplace or have people over they request I make this. So simple and easy to do!!
I had a bday party fir my dad and thus drink was a hit., much so I didnt have enough it didnt last.
Happy to hear that! 🙂
