Whether for brunch, lunch or to unwind after a long day, this cold and refreshing sparkling peach sangria is refreshing and easy to make.

Labor Day weekend is around the corner. August for most of the US brought hot and sticky weather. My kids have returned to school, which is always bittersweet.
This late part of summer means something else besides school starting up and that means peach season! My family and I are inhaling as many sweet peaches as we can get. Because just like summer, peach season is always welcomed, but doesn’t last long enough.

Recipe highlights
- Simple: You only need three ingredients to mix up this sangria. You can even mix up single servings if you find those small bottles or individuals cans of sparkling wine!
- Refreshing: Although I am not a big drinker, I do find a glass of sangria very refreshing. In fact, I came up with this particular recipe because I am not a big drinker. It is very light and has a wonderful peach flavor.
- Flavor: I do not like the bitter taste of wine, but I do like sparkling white wine. The beauty of the sangria is that you can personalize it to your own personal taste. Some people like a little harder sangria and add brandy to the mix. If you are a lightweight like me, you can add some club soda.
Ingredients you need
- Sparkling white wine: You can use champagne, sparkling white wine or Prosecco. Choose whichever brand you personally like.
- Peach schnapps: This gives the lovely touch of peach flavor to this sangria.
- Peaches: You can use fresh or frozen peaches. During the hot summer months, I keep a bag of frozen peach slices handy. It gives me the peaches I need for my sangria and it cools off my drink without ice.
Step-by-step directions
- Chill: Place your sparkling wine in the refrigerator and let it chill overnight.
- Mix: Combine all of the ingredients together in a pitcher.
- Serve: You can pour sangria into glasses filled with ice or frozen peach slices.

Recipes tips and FAQs
Should you peel your peaches for sangria? This question pops up when I tell people I’m making a homemade peach pie or peach crisp. When you cook peaches, the skin tends to separate from the fruit so peeling is necessary. But for this peach sangria, well duh, nothing is getting cooked.
So it is a personal preference on whether or not you peel the peaches. You can also use frozen peaches for this sparkling peach sangria. No thawing necessary. Just drop the frozen peaches into the sangria and they will keep your drink cool while you sip, sip away.
You can use white peaches or yellow peaches. White peaches are more sweet and fragrant, but I adore yellow peaches. Again, the choice is all yours.

Storing Instructions
TO STORE: Because sparkling wine is used in this sangria recipe, it is best served fresh. The longer it sits, the less bubbly it will get. If you are fine with the loss of bubbles, your white peach sangria will last in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Sangria is a Spanish drink made with wine and fruit. It is incredibly popular in Spain and Portugal, as well as the rest of the world. The wine is mixed with fresh fruit, any fruit that is in season. Also mixed in with the wine and fruit is typically brandy, sparkling water, and/or a flavored liqueur.
There are many different versions of sangria, with the most popular version being red sangria. Red sangria usually uses a Spanish Rioja red wine. But, you can also make sangria with white wine, too.
A bellini is 2 parts prosecco and one 1 part peach purée. Sangria uses chunks of fruit and not puréed fruit. Also this recipe for peach sangria adds peach schnapps, a delicious and aromatic peach liqueur. So let’s just say that the very delicious bellini is a cousin to this sparkling peach sangria.
You can use almost any kind of fruit that is in season to make sangria. Some fruits most commonly used are apples, oranges, berries, pineapple and peaches. You can also use canned fruit. A can of fruit cocktail is a very convenient addition to making a quick sangria.
