How to Prepare Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

Making this delightful Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria) is truly a breeze. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll be sipping on sunshine in no time! It’s all about letting those lovely flavors get to know each other.

Combining the Base for Your Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

Grab your big pitcher. Pour in that bottle of dry white wine. Add the brandy next, followed by the orange liqueur. Stir in the simple syrup. Give it a little taste here to see if it’s sweet enough for you. You can always add more later!

Adding the Fruit to Your Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

Now for the star ingredients! Gently add your sliced peaches to the pitcher. Toss in the mixed berries. Don’t forget those lovely orange slices too. Give everything a good, gentle stir so the fruit is nicely mixed in with the liquids.

Chilling and Serving Your Perfect Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

This is the most important step! Cover the pitcher. Pop it in the fridge for at least 2 to 4 hours. This chilling time lets all those amazing fruit flavors really blend with the wine and spirits. For the very best taste, I like to let it chill overnight if I can. When you’re ready to serve, fill your glasses with ice. Pour the sangria over the ice. Make sure you get a generous scoop of the fruit in each glass! Enjoy every refreshing sip.

Tips for Making the Best Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

Want to make sure your Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria) is absolutely perfect? Here are a few little tricks I’ve picked up. First, pick a dry white wine you actually like drinking on its own. If you wouldn’t sip it from a glass, it won’t make great sangria! Taste the sangria before serving and adjust the simple syrup. Some fruits are sweeter than others. Feel free to play with the fruit! Try adding sliced plums or cherries when they’re in season. Just avoid getting too much of the bitter white part of the orange rind into the mix.

Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria) Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Let’s talk a little more about the ingredients for this lovely Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria). Choosing a dry white wine is key; sweeter wines can make the sangria overly sugary once you add the fruit and simple syrup. Think Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. If you don’t have brandy, feel free to use a little more orange liqueur or even some vodka for a slightly different kick. For the orange liqueur, triple sec is common, but Cointreau or Grand Marnier work beautifully too. And as I mentioned, feel free to swap the peaches and berries for other summer fruits like nectarines or plums!

Frequently Asked Questions About Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria)

I get asked a few common questions about making this delightful Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria). Here are the answers to help you out!

Can I use red wine instead of white?

Absolutely! While this recipe is for white wine, you can totally use a light-bodied red wine for a different spin on a summer sangria. The flavors will be a bit richer.

How long does Summer Fruit Sangria (Peach & Berry Sangria) last?

This sangria is definitely best enjoyed within 24-48 hours. After a couple of days, the fruit can start to get a little mushy, and the flavors aren’t quite as bright. It’s usually gone long before then at my place!

Can I make a non-alcoholic version?

Yes, you can! Just swap the white wine, brandy, and orange liqueur for things like white grape juice, sparkling cider, or a good quality sparkling water. Load it up with the fresh peaches and berries!

Should I peel the peaches?

That’s really up to you! I usually don’t peel them, as the skin softens nicely in the sangria and adds a little color. If you prefer a smoother drink, feel free to peel them before slicing.
