Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rosé Wine: I like using a dry rosé for its crisp finish. If dry rosé is not available, feel free to use white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc. Just skip the sweeteners if you choose a sweeter wine.
Peaches: Fresh peaches are essential, but if they’re out of season, use frozen or canned peaches. Just make sure they’re drained if canned! For a twist, nectarines work well too.
Raspberries: You can swap raspberries for another berry like strawberries or blueberries, depending on what you have on hand. They all add a nice burst of flavor!
Peach Schnapps: If it’s not available, try another fruit liqueur like apricot brandy. This will still keep that fruity vibe going!
Simple Syrup: You can make simple syrup by mixing equal parts sugar and water until dissolved or use honey or agave for a different sweetness. Adjust according to your taste!
How Do I Make the Sangria Flavorful and Balanced?
The key to crafting a tasty sangria is allowing the flavors to meld. Don’t rush this step! When you let the mixture chill for at least an hour, the fruit releases its juices, enhancing the taste of the wine.
- Combine the rosé, schnapps, and simple syrup in the pitcher first.
- Gently stir to mix, then add the peach slices and raspberries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour—this really makes a difference!
- When serving, add the sparkling water or soda just before pouring to keep the drink fizzy.
This process ensures each glass bursts with fruity goodness, making your sangria a hit! Enjoy your refreshing drink! 🍹

- Ice cubes
How Much Time Will You Need?
This refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria takes about 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 1 hour of chilling time to allow the flavors to blend beautifully. The longer you let it chill (up to 4 hours), the more flavorful it will be!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mixing the Base:
Start by pouring the chilled rosé wine into a large pitcher. Add the peach schnapps and simple syrup to the wine. Stir gently with a stirring spoon until everything is nicely mixed. This will be the flavorful base of your sangria!
2. Adding the Fruit:
Next, slice your fresh peaches and add them to the pitcher along with the fresh raspberries. These fruits will bring lovely flavors and colors to your drink. Give the mixture another gentle stir to combine.
3. Chilling the Sangria:
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the fridge. Let the sangria chill for at least 1 hour. If you have the time, chilling it for 4 hours will provide an even better flavor infusion, as the fruits will release their delicious juices into the wine.
4. Serving Your Sangria:
When you’re ready to serve, add the sparkling water or lemon-lime soda to the pitcher. This gives your sangria a fizzy kick! Stir the mixture gently to combine, but be careful not to lose all the bubbles!
5. Enjoying the Sangria:
Take a glass, fill it with ice cubes, and pour the sangria over the ice. Make sure to scoop some of the peach slices and raspberries into each glass for a beautiful presentation. Top each glass with a fresh peach slice on the rim and a few extra raspberries for garnish.

FAQ for Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria
Can I Use Different Fruits in This Sangria?
Absolutely! While peaches and raspberries are delicious, feel free to mix in other seasonal fruits like strawberries, blueberries, or even citrus slices like oranges and lemons. These will all complement the rosé beautifully!
How Do I Make a Low-Sugar Version?
You can reduce or completely omit the simple syrup if you prefer a less sweet drink. Additionally, using a dry sparkling water or soda can help control the sweetness level. You might also try using fresh fruit for natural sweetness instead!
Can I Prepare This Sangria in Advance?
Yes! You can prepare the sangria up to 4 hours in advance. Just keep the mixture in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Add the sparkling water or soda right before serving to keep it bubbly and fresh!
What’s the Best Way to Store Leftover Sangria?
If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, the sparkling component will lose its fizz, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If the sangria starts to separate, just give it a gentle stir before serving!
