"Fun in the Sun"

Summer Peach Sangria

 

...because everyone needs a "go to" summertime party drink for a little fun in the sun!

Why not enjoy with a little less sugar and extra antioxidants by using a sugar-free seltzer water and 100% juice for that sweet summer flavor?!

 

Servings: Makes about 2.5 gallons

 

Ingredients:

• 1 bottle rose wine

• 1 bottle dry white wine

• 1/4 cup berry flavored vodka

• 1/4 cup peach schnapps

• 1 cup 100% peach juice

• 1/2 bottle peach seltzer water

• 1/2 bottle strawberry seltzer water

• 2 nectarines or peaches, washed and sliced

• 2 oranges, peeled and sliced

• 2 cups strawberries, washed and sliced (frozen strawberries can be added before serving to keep the sangria cold instead of using ice to prevent watering down the flavor!)

• 10 fresh basil leaves

 

Preparation:

1. Add all ingredients into a large pitcher or beverage dispenser. Let sit in refrigerator overnight to allow the fruit to release more flavor.

2. Taste test the sangria and adjust the amount of juice/seltzer as needed, depending on your sweetness preferences. 

3. Serve with a few pieces of the fruit in each glass, or a frozen strawberry!
