Peach-Raspberry Sangria

MeliBug's Note:

This is a delicious sangria! Perfect for the summer or a girlie get together! your guests will love it! I would suggest thinking twice about the vanilla bean seeds because they can be a bit of a turn off for some people since they look like little black things floating around.... and if u want to make a fuller pitcher, add a 3rd bottle of Riesling or extra fruit!

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 8.0 cups

• 1 vanilla bean
• 2 (750 ml) bottles riesling wine
• 1 cup peach schnapps
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 6 tablespoons sugar
• 3 ripe peaches, cut into wedges or 3 use half a jar of preserved peach slices
• 1 cup fresh raspberry
• 1 orange, sliced
• 1 lemon, sliced

Directions:

1. Cut vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape out the black seeds and put at bottom of pitcher. Discard the pods.
2. Combine all the other ingredients. Be careful with the liquid because the fruit will cause it to overflow if the pitcher is too full!
3. Chill sangria overnight to get maximum flavor.
4. Just before serving, add ice cubes. Try using extra raspberries to make raspberry ice cubes for an extra pretty sangria! :) Enjoy!

This was the best sangria that I have tried from this site so far. The vanilla bean gives it a unique and delicate twist. I could not find raspberries, so I just used strawberries with great results. Thank you.

My daughters and I love this! Did fresh peaches last time, used frozen this time. We think it is a real winner.
