This citrus peach sangria is made with canned peaches, lemons and limes, summer sunshine in a glass so you can enjoy it year round. Make this refreshing favorite for your next family party!
Over the years I’ve lived in a lot of places where summer peaches aren’t available. Or they are imported and the shops do sell them but the peaches were clearly picked too early, shipped chilled, and aren’t the fragrant ripe peaches I remember growing up. Honestly, is there any smell more wonderful (with the exception of frying bacon) than the aroma of warm peaches piled in woven bushel baskets at a farm stand?
I’ve come up with a few ways to get my peach fix from canned peaches, like my creamy bourbon peach frozen yogurt but this refreshing citrus peach sangria is one of my favorites. The apple brandy adds a bit of oomph to the wine but the citrus and peaches and peach syrup are the stars.
If you are lucky enough to have fragrant ripe peaches, you might want to make my sweet peach cornbread or my sweet peach cream cheese muffins. If your fresh peaches aren't so sweet, they are perfect for making fresh peach cucumber salad!
I was away from home when I took these photos and I had to mix it up in two pitchers so don’t let the smaller pitcher in my photos fool you. This recipe makes plenty enough to serve 10-12.
Citrus Peach Sangria
If you do want to use fresh peaches for this sangria, replace the peach syrup with simple syrup.
Ingredients
1 (750ml) bottle dry white wine, chilled (I use a Sauvignon blanc.)
1/2 cup or 120ml apple brandy
14 oz or 400g can sliced peaches in light syrup, chilled
1 lemon
1 lime
Ice
12 oz or 355ml lemon lime soda (Sprite, 7Up or the like) or to
taste
Method
Slice your lemon and lime thinly.
Add them to a big pitcher along with the wine, apple brandy and the can of peaches. Put in a couple of handfuls of ice and then top up with lemon lime soda. Give the whole thing a gentle stir.
To serve, use a spoon to scoop a couple of peach and citrus slices into each glass. Add a few cubes of ice and fill with sangria.
Enjoy!
