Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Base and fruit
  • 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine Use Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc.
  • 0.5 cup peach schnapps
  • 0.25 cup simple syrup
  • 3 peaches Ripe; sliced.
  • 1 pear Cored; sliced.
  • 1 lemon Sliced.
  • 1 orange Sliced.
  • 0.25 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 2 cups sparkling water Top the pitcher just before serving.

Method
 

Build the sangria base
  1. Combine the dry white wine, peach schnapps, and simple syrup in a large pitcher.
  2. Add the sliced peaches, pear, lemon, and orange slices, then add the fresh mint leaves.
  3. Stir gently until the syrup and mint are evenly distributed.
Chill
  1. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Finish and serve
  1. Just before serving, top the pitcher with the sparkling water.
  2. Stir gently to keep the fruit floating and the carbonation lively.
  3. Serve over ice in wine glasses with the fruit spooned into each glass.
  4. Garnish each glass with extra fresh mint and a peach slice on the rim.

Notes

For the cleanest flavor, slice fruit just before mixing so the peaches and pear stay vivid. Refrigerate in a covered pitcher up to 2 days (the fruit softens over time); freezer not recommended. For a lighter option, swap the peach schnapps for peach nectar or a lower-sugar peach syrup and chill the same way.
