MyMilitarySavingsSummer is in full swing here in south Georgia and we are so enjoying our time off! Between playing outside, chilling at the beach, and afternoon naps during our daily thunderstorm, we are truly living the good life! I am a HUGE fan of Sangria. It’s easy to whip up, you don’t need any crazy ingredients, and you can customize the flavors to your liking! Walking by the produce section in the Commissary and I could smell the ripe peaches and nectarines. I KNEW I had to use them right away. So, this week I made a Peachy Summer Sangria!
Ingredients:
- 1 large bottle of white or rosé wine.
- 1 cup of white grape peach juice or peach nectar
- 1/4 cup of peach schnapps or liquor (optional)
- 3 peaches
- 1 cup of frozen raspberries.
Directions:
- Slice your peaches fairly thin.
- Add everything to your pitcher.
- Let it chill in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Notes:
- For the wine, I used a white zinfandel (that’s actually a pretty blush color).
- If you want to try a variation, use white peaches or nectarines, which work great in this as well!
- You can use fresh berries, but I like that the frozen ones work as fruity ice cubes in my drink!
- If you don’t have a pitcher, you could a giant mason jar!
- If you have leftover wine, just add it to the sangria as you drink it and make room in the pitcher.
This sangria is light, summery sweet, and oh so delicious! It doesn’t hurt that it’s pretty to look at as well. I hope you make a big batch and enjoy it as you lounge at the pool or get together with friends this weekend. It’s the perfect party drink! As always, PLEASE DRINK RESPONSIBLY!
