Peach sangria
This sangria goes well with any BBQ food, so if you are firing up the grill this summer, and I’m sure you are, make a pitcher or two of this easy white wine sangria recipe.
It goes really well with everything from burgers to grilled chicken.
Made with peaches, plums and cherries, which are in season during the summer months, it is the perfect summer drink to celebrate stone fruit.
White wine sangria recipe with peaches
Most sangrias are too sweet for me, which is why I rarely (never) order them at a restaurant.
By making sangria at home, you can make it exactly how you like it, which is always the goal of making anything, anyway, isn’t it?
Red sangrias are delicious, but for me, a bit too heavy in the heat of summer. When the temperatures start climbing, I gravitate toward a crisp white wine or a rosé for this strawberry sangria.
How to make white wine sangria
The first step is making the simple syrup. This is simply combining equal parts sugar and water in a pot and simmering until the sugar has dissolved.
Once that is done, it needs to cool completely before being added to the sangria pitcher. This is a great task to do ahead of time.
Making the sangria is as easy as adding everything to a pitcher, giving it a good stir and letting it chill until it is very cold.
One thing that gets overlooked (even by me, on occasion), is having enough fresh fruit.
The fruit that has been sitting in the pitcher all day is delicious, but you’ll want to make sure you have freshly cut fruit to add to everyone’s glass before serving.
No one wants soggy peaches, friends.
What kind of wine should I use for white sangria?
I like Sauvignon Blanc or a white Rioja, use whatever is on hand, but nothing oaky like Chardonnay.
It’s also worth mentioning that this is not the time to use that super spendy bottle you’ve been saving.
Also, don’t use a bottle that you wouldn’t drink on its own, because you will taste it.
Buy a nice, drinkable table wine and it will make an excellent sangria.
