Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rosé Wine: Use a dry rosé for balance. If you prefer sweeter flavors, a fruit-forward option works well. You could substitute it with white wine or even prosecco for a different twist.
Peach Nectar/Peach Juice: If peach nectar is hard to find, you can use any other fruit juice like apricot or even pineapple for a unique flavor. Just make sure it’s sweet and fruity!
Peach Schnapps: This is optional, but it adds a nice punch of peach flavor. If you want to skip it, simply add a little more peach juice or nectar instead.
Fresh Raspberries: If raspberries aren’t available, try using strawberries or blueberries. They both add a nice color and flavor to the sangria.
Fresh Peaches: Ripe peaches are key. If they’re out of season, canned peaches in juice can be a suitable alternative.
How Can I Make the Perfect Sangria?
Making sangria is all about blending flavors and letting them meld together. Here’s how to do it right:
- Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher. Use a gentle hand to keep the fruit intact.
- Chill the mixture for at least 1 hour. This is crucial, as it allows the flavors to marry and develop.
- Right before serving, add the sparkling water. This ensures the drink stays fizzy and refreshing.
- Serve over ice to keep it cool on a warm day.
Tips: Customize your sangria by adding seasonal fruits or herbs like mint for an added twist. Enjoy this refreshing drink with friends and family!

FAQ for Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Can I Make This Sangria Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the sangria mixture (without the club soda) up to 24 hours in advance. Just keep it covered in the fridge, and add the sparkling water right before serving to maintain its fizziness.
What Can I Use Instead of Peach Schnapps?
If you want to keep the recipe lighter or alcohol-free, you can simply omit the peach schnapps and use a bit more peach nectar or juice instead. You might also try a splash of vanilla extract for added flavor!
How Do I Store Leftover Sangria?
If you have any leftover sangria, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It’s best to drink it while it’s fresh, but be aware that the fruit may become softer over time.
Can I Use Different Fruits?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or even citrus slices such as oranges or lemons. Just keep in mind that each fruit will bring its unique flavor, so taste as you go!
