This peach rosé sangria is the perfect drink for a hot day! It’s fruity, light, and oh-so-refreshing with juicy peaches and crisp rosé wine. 🍑🍷
I like to serve it chilled with some fresh mint leaves on top. It’s a great way to impress friends or just enjoy a quiet afternoon. Cheers to easy, fun drinks! 🎉
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Dry Rosé Wine: Choose a good quality dry rosé for best flavor. It’s crisp and fruity. If you’re not a fan of rosé, you can use white wine instead, like a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio.
Peach Nectar or Juice: You can use store-bought peach nectar for convenience. If you’d prefer to keep it fresh, blend ripe peaches with a bit of water until smooth. If peaches aren’t available, apricot juice works as a great substitute!
Peach Schnapps: This adds a nice kick to the sangria. If you’re looking for lower alcohol options, consider using flavored sparkling water instead.
Fresh Raspberries: These add lovely color and a burst of flavor! If they’re out of season, you can use frozen raspberries or even strawberries for a different twist.
How Do I Make Sure the Sangria Tastes Great?
Allow the sangria to chill in the fridge for at least an hour. This step is really important! It lets the flavors blend and develop, creating a richer taste. You can mix it up to 4 hours ahead of time, just avoid adding the sparkling water until just before serving!
- Combine all ingredients in a pitcher, except the sparkling water.
- Chill to let flavors marry. This resting time is key for balance.
- When ready to serve, stir in the sparkling water gently to maintain its fizz.
For a fun touch, try experimenting with other fruits like citrus slices or berries that match your mood! Enjoy every sip! 🍑🥂

FAQ for Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Can I Use Other Fruits in This Sangria?
Absolutely! While peaches and raspberries are delicious, feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries, oranges, or lemons. Just ensure they complement the flavors of the rosé wine!
How Can I Make This Sangria Less Sweet?
If you prefer a less sweet sangria, opt for a dry rosé and reduce the amount of peach schnapps. You can also add more sparkling water to balance out the sweetness from the peach nectar.
Can I Make This Sangria Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare the sangria mixture (without the sparkling water) up to 4 hours in advance. Just be sure to keep it refrigerated. Add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain its fizz!
How Should I Store Any Leftovers?
If you have leftovers, store the sangria in the fridge in an airtight container. However, it’s best consumed within 1-2 days, as the fizz will diminish and the fruit may become mushy over time.
