Sweet White Peach Sangria

Submitted by Foodiewife

"This recipe originally started out from Food Network’s Bobby Flay. After the first pitcher disappeared, in no time flat, I began to adapt (and perfect) this refreshing summer drink that left my guests not only asking for more, but for the recipe. I increased the amount of triple sec and peach schnapps, since I would add in club soda— to give a refreshing effervescent fizz to my drig. You can easily adapt this recipe to suit your personal preferences by using either a white wine (like a Sauvignon Blanc) or even a White Zinfandel works, too."

 

• Ready In: 15mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 (750 ml) bottle white wine (Spanish table wine, I used Sauvignon Blanc or White Zinfandel)
• 1⁄2 cup peach schnapps or 1/2 cup brandy
• 1 cup triple sec
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 ounces simple syrup, and cooled (equal parts sugar and water brought to a boil for 2 minutes in a small saucepan, leftover syrup can )
• 3 ounces white peach puree (peel peaches, remove pit and puree in a blender with a small amount of water) or 6 ounces peach nectar, can be used (much less work)
• 1 fresh peach, oranges (I also added fresh pineapple and cherries)
• club soda

directions

1. Place all ingredients in a pitcher and stir to mix.
2. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 48 hours.
3. To serve you can add club soda to the entire pitcher, so give the sangria a “fizz”. I prefer to pour about â…“ club soda in a glass filled with plenty of ice, and then pour the sangria. Serve with a slice of fresh orange, for color.
4. Very refreshing. I recommend keeping extra wine on hand, as my guests wanted more…and more. Chilling this for at least 8 hours is good, but making it at the last minute works fine… color and fruity flavor won’t be as rich, if the drink isn’t chilled quite long enough.
