Summer may be almost over, but there’s still time to make sangria! With fruit like peaches at their flavor peak, it’s the perfect time to stir together a pitcher.
We love making sangria because there are so many options for playing around with flavor. The trend of infusing seasonal fruits, herbs and even greens into the drink are really inspiring. Plus, it’s a do-ahead cocktail that makes enough to share with friends. No wonder it’s the drink of summer.
For our recipe, we included some of the things we love most about the season. Pink wine. Fresh raspberries. Juicy peaches. It’s our Goodbye Summer Sangria.
Here’s how to make our sangria:
Raspberry Peach Rose Sangria
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups peeled fresh peach slices
1 cup fresh raspberries
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 ounces orange liqueur or brandy (we used Cointreau)
1 bottle (750 ml) rose wine, chilled (we used Malbec rose)
1 to 2 ounces simple syrup
Orange or lemon slices, optional
Chilled sparkling water, optional
Directions
Combine peaches and raspberries in a large pitcher.
Add orange juice, orange liqueur and wine; stir.
Taste and add simple syrup to sweeten. (The amount of simple syrup needed will depend on the flavor of the wine you use and personal preference for sweetness.)
Cover and chill sangria for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to blend. Serve sangria in glasses filled with plenty of ice. If desired, add a few orange or lemon slices and a splash of sparkling water.
Prep Time: 15 Minutes | Total Time: 2 Hours 15 Minutes | Servings: 6
Tip: Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water heated to make a syrup.
