Main Ingredients
- 1 bottle chilled sweet Moscato wine (750 ml)
- 3 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup white grape juice or soda water (adjust for preferred fizz)
- 1 lemon, thinly sliced
- 1 lime, thinly sliced
- Fresh mint leaves (a handful, some bruised for infusion, some for garnish)
Optional Ingredients
- 1/4 cup peach schnapps or brandy (for extra peach flavor and a stronger kick)
- Prepare the fruit: Wash and thinly slice the peaches, lemons, and limes. Set aside some fresh mint leaves for garnish, and lightly bruise a few leaves to release their flavor into the sangria.
- Combine the ingredients: In a large pitcher, pour the chilled Moscato wine and add the sliced peaches, lemon, lime, and bruised mint leaves. Pour in a splash of white grape juice or soda water for a light fizz, adjusting to taste.
- Add optional spirits: If desired, mix in peach schnapps or brandy to deepen the peach flavor and give the sangria a bit more strength.
- Chill and infuse: Refrigerate the mixture for at least two hours, preferably longer or overnight, allowing the flavors of the fruit, herbs, and wine to meld beautifully.
- Serve over ice: When ready, pour the sangria over ice in glasses and garnish with fresh mint sprigs and extra peach slices for a stunning presentation.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the sweetest and juiciest flavor.
- Chill all ingredients beforehand to avoid excess ice dilution.
- Let the sangria rest overnight for more intense flavor infusion.
- Do not overcrowd the pitcher with fruit to allow easy stirring and optimal flavor release.
- Adjust sweetness at the end if needed by adding a little honey or simple syrup.
