Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Dry Rosé Wine: This is the base of your sangria. Look for a dry rosé for a balanced flavor. If rosé isn’t your thing, you can substitute with white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for a similar effect.
Peaches: Ripe peaches add sweetness and a lovely aroma. If peaches aren’t in season, feel free to use nectarines or even frozen peaches. Just make sure to thaw and slice them before using!
Fresh Raspberries: These berries offer a tart contrast to the sweet peaches. You could swap them for strawberries or blackberries if you prefer, or even use mixed berries for a colorful twist.
Peach Schnapps: This adds an extra layer of peach flavor. If you want to keep it alcohol-free, you can skip this or use peach-flavored sparkling water for a similar taste without the booze.
Peach Nectar or Juice: This sweetens the drink. Feel free to use other fruit juices like apricot or orange juice if peach isn’t available. They can still complement the flavors nicely!
How Do You Get the Best Flavor in Sangria?
The secret to great sangria is letting the flavors meld beautifully! Start by mixing your fruits and liquids. Here’s how:
- Combine the sliced peaches and raspberries in a pitcher first.
- Pour in the wine, schnapps, and nectar before stirring gently. This is to prevent muddling the fruit too much.
- Chill this mixture for at least one hour, but if you can let it sit longer, like 4 hours or overnight, the flavors deepen beautifully.
- Just before you serve, add the sparkling water for that perfect fizz!
Don’t rush; the key to amazing sangria is patience and allowing it to chill. Your guests will love the vibrant mix of flavors!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Fruits:
Start by slicing your peaches thinly and placing them in a large pitcher. Add in the fresh raspberries, giving them a little gentle squeeze to release some of their juices. This will help infuse the flavors into the sangria!
2. Add Your Liquids:
Pour in the chilled rosé wine, followed by the peach schnapps and peach nectar. Use a large spoon to stir everything together gently. You want the fruit and liquids to mix, but don’t mash the fruit too much.
3. Chill the Mixture:
Cover the pitcher with a lid or plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 1 hour. The longer you let it sit, the better the flavors will meld together, so if you have more time, consider letting it sit for up to 4 hours.
4. Add Fizz:
When you’re ready to serve, take the pitcher out of the fridge. Add the chilled club soda or sparkling water to the mixture, stirring gently to combine. This will give your sangria a delightful fizz!
5. Serve and Garnish:
If you like, fill your serving glasses with ice cubes for a chilled drink. Pour the sangria into the glasses, making sure to include some peach slices and raspberries in each. To make it look extra special, garnish with extra slices of peach and a few more raspberries on top.
6. Enjoy!
Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, fruity peach rosé sangria with friends or family! Perfect for a summer gathering, or just a relaxing day in!
