Description
Refreshing Strawberry Peach Sangria with vibrant fruits and bubbly fizz. Perfect for summer gatherings and celebrations.
Ingredients
- 4 peaches (about 560 grams), cored and sliced into 1/4 inch slices
- 2 cups (300 grams) quartered strawberries
- 1 bottle of pink moscato wine (750 mL)
- 1/2 cup (120 mL) peach schnapps
- 2 cups (480 mL) tonic water or 2 cups (480 mL) champagne or 1 can (355 mL) of lemon-lime soda
- Juice of 1 lime, fresh
Instructions
- Mix the Fruits: Start by tossing together fresh strawberries and juicy peaches in a large pitcher. You want to see that vibrant burst of color filling the container. Just make sure your fruit isn’t overly ripe, or it might get mushy as it sits.
- Add the Wine: Pour in a nice bottle of pink moscato wine over the fruit, letting it cascade down and mingle beautifully. Swirling it around creates a lovely visual as the colors blend.
- Include Citrus Juice: Squeeze in some fresh lime juice for that tangy kick, pouring it directly into the mix. Be careful not to add too much or it can become tart!
- Chill for Flavor: Pop the sangria in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, letting the flavors meld together. Skipping this step might mean losing out on the harmony of flavors.
- Add the Bubbles: Right before you are ready to serve, top it off with sparkling water or tonic. A little goes a long way, so avoid overdoing it.
- Serve & Enjoy: Pour the sangria over ice in individual glasses, ensuring that each one gets its share of fruit. If it tastes a bit sweet, adding a splash more soda can create a lighter touch.
Notes
- This sangria can be prepared a day in advance, but wait to add the fizzy elements until just before serving for maximum freshness.
- If too much sweetness is a concern, try diluting your blend with extra tonic water or citrus juice for a refreshing twist.
- When preparing fruit, opting for firmer, fresher peaches and strawberries can help prevent them from becoming too soft after refrigeration.
- For best enjoyment, let your strawberry peach sangria sit in the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes; this allows all the flavors to mingle nicely.
- If the final product tastes stronger than you prefer, consider adding more tonic or soda to lighten it up a bit.
- When making this sangria ahead of time, remember to add the fizzy ingredient right before serving to keep it refreshing and bubbly.
