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
8 servings

Parve
Description
Learn to make white sangria with peaches, the perfect cold refreshing party drink for summer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh yellow peaches, sliced
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup peach liqueur or peach schnapps
- 750 mL white wine (1 bottle)
- 1 liter ginger ale, chilled
Recipe Notes
You will also need: Sangria pitcher, serving glasses
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.

August 14, 2018 at 11:47 amThis has become our “go to” sangria this summer. We like as is, except we muddle the peaches in the wine before adding the rest, but a couple other variations work well, too:
1) we substituted white grape juice for the sugar water
2) we used an American Riesling as the wine, and didn’t need to add any grape juice (or sugar water)

Debra Fitzsimmons says
September 20, 2017 at 1:57 pmHi there, can I use Peach Brandy in this recipe?
Ashley at ToriAvey.com says
September 25, 2017 at 9:23 amHi Debra, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. Yes, you can use peach brandy.
Pam says
August 24, 2017 at 11:45 pmHi Tori,
Sounds yummy and easy to put together! Cant wait to try it … can I use Chablis for this recipe?
Ashley at ToriAvey.com says
September 5, 2017 at 10:06 amHi Pam, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. If you prefer Chablis, feel free to use it in this recipe. 🙂
Diane says
August 22, 2017 at 5:06 pmCan I use proseco and ginger instead of ginger ale and white wine?
Ashley at ToriAvey.com says
September 5, 2017 at 9:57 amHi Diane, Tori’s assistant Ashley here. Those substitutions sound lovely to me! I say go for it. 🙂
Maureen says
July 1, 2017 at 4:41 pmThis sangria recipe is great. One of the best we have ever had. Thanks for sharing this on Pinterest.
Pat says
December 18, 2016 at 4:55 amThis recipe sounds fantastic! I have a bottle of peach wine. Could I use it instead of the white wine?
Tori Avey says
December 18, 2016 at 12:17 pmSure! That would be lovely 🙂 you might need to adjust the sweetness level and sugar amount, as the peach wine might already be somewhat sweet.
Pat says
December 21, 2016 at 7:34 pmThank you very much Tori. I’m making it for New Year’s Eve. I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Stephanie says
May 24, 2017 at 12:13 pmDoes the peach schnapps and wine have to be cold or refrigerated before adding to the pitcher and peaches? Thanks!
Ashley at ToriAvey.com says
May 25, 2017 at 7:42 amHi 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.
Jenn Vigo, MS RD says
July 29, 2016 at 10:02 amSUPER 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!
Natalia says
June 29, 2016 at 11:33 amInstead of soda I used Italian sweet sparkling wine
Lauren says
June 26, 2016 at 4:54 amCool, but I’m like 99.9 sure that’s a nectarine in your photo.
Tori Avey says
June 30, 2016 at 6:09 pmI 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!
Krissy says
June 4, 2016 at 11:29 amMaking 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?
Tori Avey says
June 6, 2016 at 8:44 pmI 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!
Tish says
April 20, 2016 at 10:25 amAre you to use a small bottle (750 ml) of wine or a big one (1.5L)?
Tori Avey says
April 21, 2016 at 9:00 amStandard size – 750 ml.
Ukeyco says
December 18, 2015 at 9:38 amWill this recipe taste the same if I double it and prepare in a small punch bowl? I hope so it sounds so good!
Tori Avey says
December 18, 2015 at 4:17 pmYes it should!
Alma says
October 15, 2015 at 7:59 amAnd they don’t even drink!!!
Alma says
October 15, 2015 at 7:58 amPeach Sangria – made a small batch for my mom and grandma as a treat. They asked for more.
Jill Burnside says
September 4, 2015 at 3:43 pmDo you think this will work with diet ginger ale?
Tori Avey says
September 5, 2015 at 7:33 pmYes Jill!
Doug Wall says
August 31, 2015 at 5:34 pmWent 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.
Tori Avey says
September 1, 2015 at 1:35 pmVery happy you liked it Doug! Hope you didn’t lose too much! Haha
Dare Dellinger says
August 20, 2015 at 8:19 amHow 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?
Tori Avey says
August 20, 2015 at 11:55 amHi 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.
Anna says
July 14, 2016 at 4:33 pmDare. I’m trying to do same thing. How many batches of recipe did u do to get 5 gallons
Nancy says
July 28, 2015 at 3:23 pmLOVE 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!!

Charles Hudak says
August 8, 2014 at 4:02 amI just got a flat of peaches from Costco so maybe this will work
Tori Avey says
August 8, 2014 at 4:06 amCharles Costco is the best for that kind of thing!

Joyce Conley says
June 20, 2014 at 11:52 amShould I use a large bottle of wine or a small one?
Tori Avey says
June 21, 2014 at 9:07 pmHi Joyce, use a standard bottle of wine – 750 ml.
Sue Wolfe says
May 1, 2014 at 1:52 amGirls 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.

Beauty on a college budget says
August 12, 2013 at 5:51 amI 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!!
Laura says
August 22, 2013 at 6:21 pmI just bought moscato to make this… Did you make yours with moscato, and if so, how did it turn out? THANKS!
Tori Avey says
August 23, 2013 at 11:30 amHi 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!
Ashley says
July 29, 2013 at 8:58 pmI already have a bottle of premade simple syrup from the store…if I used that how much would I put into the recipe?
Tori Avey says
July 30, 2013 at 8:30 amStart with 1/4 cup and add more to taste.
Megan's Cookin' says
July 21, 2013 at 7:48 pmHaving a girls night to watch The Bachelorette and I was thinking of making sangrias. Thanks for the recipe. It’s perfect!
Michelle says
July 17, 2013 at 11:35 amGREAT 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.
Cathy says
July 11, 2013 at 1:51 pmDo 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
Tori Avey says
July 11, 2013 at 3:46 pmHi 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!
Donna says
June 4, 2013 at 8:20 amMy 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!
Tori Avey says
June 4, 2013 at 8:20 amYay! I love it too. Great for the warmer weather.
Sondra says
January 13, 2013 at 12:11 pmThis was delicious! I used frozen peaches nd frozen berry! It was not the season for fresh fruit. Yummy!
Tori Avey says
January 13, 2013 at 6:38 pmHappy you liked it Sondra! 🙂
scott says
August 31, 2012 at 11:06 amHow do you print this out WITHOUT the extras?
Tori Avey says
August 31, 2012 at 11:29 amHi Scott, there is a print recipe button just above the ingredient list.

August 31, 2012 at 10:08 amHi Sweetheart!!
This is soooo pretty!! And with Ginger Ale! YUM!
jess says
August 6, 2012 at 4:26 pmI 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!
jdana says
August 6, 2012 at 6:41 amThe 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.
Tori Avey says
August 6, 2012 at 9:31 amHi Jdana, they are peaches, not nectarines. The sangria would also work well with nectarines, they would add a slight tartness which would be nice.
Lori @ RecipeGirl says
August 5, 2012 at 1:44 pmThat’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!
Jonathn Shaes says
August 4, 2012 at 8:12 pmMade it with freshly picked, sweet and succulent Ohio peaches.
Medeja says
August 3, 2012 at 4:07 amOh, I can almost taste the combination of these drinks together and peaches.. yummy!
