Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rosé Wine: Choose a dry or semi-dry rosé for the best flavor. I recommend a bottle that you enjoy drinking on its own. If you prefer, you can use white wine as a substitute for a lighter taste.
Peach Nectar: If you can’t find peach nectar, peach juice works well too but may be a little sweeter. You can also use any light fruit juice like apricot or even orange for a different flavor profile.
Peach Schnapps: This adds a nice kick, but if you want a lighter drink, you can leave it out or use a fruit brandy or liqueur instead. For a non-alcoholic version, skip the schnapps altogether.
Fresh Fruits: Fresh peaches and raspberries are perfect, but feel free to mix it up! Strawberries, nectarines, or even blueberries would be delightful in this sangria.
How Do You Get the Best Flavor in Your Sangria?
Letting the sangria rest in the fridge is key. It allows the fruits to infuse the wine with their flavors, which makes the drink more delicious. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Mix the wine and juice first, then add the fruits for even flavor distribution.
- Chill for at least one hour, but if you have more time, letting it sit for several hours or overnight enhances the flavor.
- Add the sparkling water just before serving to keep its fizz. Stir gently to avoid losing bubbles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Can I Use Frozen Fruit Instead of Fresh?
Absolutely! Frozen peaches and raspberries can be used in a pinch. Just make sure to let them thaw slightly and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the sangria. This will keep your drink from becoming too watery!
How Long Can I Keep Leftover Sangria?
Leftover sangria can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. However, the fruit may start to break down and lose its texture. If you plan to keep some, consider straining out the fruit to help it last longer and maintain a fresher taste.
Can I Make This Sangria Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the sangria up to 8 hours ahead of time, but leave out the club soda until just before serving to ensure it stays bubbly. This way, the flavors will meld beautifully, and you’ll have a refreshing drink ready to go!
What Type of Rosé Should I Use?
Opt for a dry or semi-dry rosé for the best flavor. Look for one that you enjoy drinking on its own, as this will enhance the overall taste of your sangria. Avoid overly sweet rosés to keep the balance just right!
