I just got back from a crazy amazing summer road trip. 1650 miles and 10 days, exploring my home state of California. I dined in terrific restaurants, saw natural wonders, toured cheese farms, and found myself in totally new and unfamiliar places. I also got to sleep in almost every day of the trip– no alarm clock, can you imagine?! What a treat! The past few months have been super busy, and I really needed to take a few days all to myself. Getting away and exploring the state left me well rested and inspired. I am so excited to share some of the culinary tidbits I picked up along the way.
Now that I’m back home and slowly returning to the “real world,” part of me still longs to be on the road. But I’m convinced I can make the summer fun stretch another month. The answer? Peach Sangria! This sweet and summery beverage is crisp, clean, and very easy to prepare. Seasonal summer flavor, so cool and refreshing. It’s like a mini vacation in a pitcher. Cheers!

Peach Sangria
Ingredients
- 2 large fresh yellow peaches (about 1 pound total), sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup peach liqueur or peach schnapps
- 1 bottle white wine
- 1 litre ginger ale, chilled
You will also need
- Sangria pitcher, serving glasses
- 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.
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! 🙂
Mmm
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!
