White Peach Sangria

By Foodiewife

This recipe originally started out from Food Network's Bobby Flay. After the first pitcher disappeared, in no time flat, I began to adapt (and perfect) this refreshing summer drink that left my guests not only asking for more, but for the recipe. I increased the amount of triple sec and peach schnapps, since I would add in club soda-- to give a refreshing effervescent fizz to the drink. You can easily adapt this recipe to suit your personal preferences by using either a white wine (like a Sauvignon Blanc) or even a White Zinfandel works, too.

Ingredients

• 1 bottle white wine (Spanish table wine)
• 1/2 cup peach schnapps or brandy
• 1 cup triple sec
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 2 ounces simple syrup
• 3 ounces white peach puree or 6 ounces peach nectar can be used
• Fresh peaches, oranges pineapple and cherries
• Club Soda

Preparation

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a pitcher and stir to mix.

Refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 48 hours.

To serve you can add club soda to the entire pitcher, so give the sangria a "fizz". I prefer to pour about 1/3 club soda in a glass filled with plenty of ice, and then pour the sangria. Serve with a slice of fresh orange, for color.

Very refreshing. I recommend keeping extra wine on hand, as my guests wanted more...and more. Chilling this for at least 8 hours is good, but making it at the last minute works fine... color and fruity flavor won't be as rich, if the drink isn't chilled quite long enough.
