What You Will Need
- White wine: Pinot Grigio is a great choice for this ginger peach white sangria because it is crisp, light, and easy to drink. Sauvignon Blanc also works well if you prefer a slightly brighter white wine.
- Ginger beer: Non-alcoholic ginger beer is used in this recipe. It adds bubbles and a stronger ginger flavor than ginger ale. If you prefer a milder ginger taste, ginger ale can be used instead.
- Peach schnapps or peach liqueur: This adds extra peach flavor and a little sweetness, helping the fresh peaches stand out in every sip.
- Fresh peaches: Ripe peaches are best because they add juicy flavor and soften nicely as the sangria chills.
- Lemons: Lemon slices bring a clean citrus note that balances the sweetness of the peaches and schnapps.
- Sugar or sweetener: This is completely optional. Taste the sangria before adding it, then adjust based on your preferred level of sweetness.
How to Make This Recipe
This peach white sangria is a true stir-and-chill cocktail. There is no shaking, blending, or special bar equipment required. A two-quart pitcher is the perfect size for mixing and chilling the drink before serving.
- Slice the peaches and lemons, then add the fruit to the bottom of a two-quart pitcher.
- Pour the white wine, ginger beer, and peach schnapps over the sliced fruit.
- Stir everything together. Taste and add sugar or sweetener if you would like it sweeter.
- Chill the sangria for 2 to 4 hours so the fruit can infuse the wine and the flavors can blend.
- Serve cold, making sure each glass gets some of the fruit.
One of the best parts of this Ginger Peach White Sangria is how effortlessly it fits into a summer menu. It is sweet but not heavy, bubbly but not fussy, and full of fresh peach flavor. The ginger beer adds just enough spice to make it more interesting than a basic fruit sangria, while the lemon keeps the finish clean and refreshing.
Notes
- If you do not have ginger beer, use ginger ale. The ginger flavor will be softer, but the sangria will still be delicious and refreshing.
- Frozen peaches can be used if fresh peaches are not available. They may soften more quickly as the sangria chills.
- Canned peaches are not recommended for this recipe because they can change the texture and make the sangria overly sweet.
- This sangria can be made one day in advance. The peaches will become softer, but they will also have more time to infuse the wine with flavor.
- For a smaller batch, use a can or half bottle of white wine, one can or half-liter bottle of ginger beer, a few slices of peach and lemon, and about one tablespoon of peach schnapps.
