Peach Sangria
Sparkling peach sangria is the perfect recipe for fun summer garden parties or even a Thursday night outdoor grilling dinner. This sangria uses white wine, making a light, flavorful, and refreshing cocktail. Substitute fresh strawberry slices in place of or in addition to raspberries for a fruit-infused white wine.

I’m not a big drinker, but I do enjoy an occasional glass of wine, but I don’t like it too sweet. On the flip side, I don’t like my wine too dry, either. I’m looking for the goldilocks of drinks. That’s where this raspberry peach sangria steps in.

Whatever cocktail you’re sipping on, enjoy!
Oh Marly, if only we could balance each other out a bit with the chocolate/alcohol consumption. I, for one, hardly ever crave chocolate. A glass or two of wine before bed, though, I cannot turn down. Or I can, but only when I am on a health detox. That is why I really enjoy sangria as it has a little more to it with the addition of whole fruits. I will probably make a batch of this but add the sparkling water each time I make a glass. It sounds so refreshing!
Jennifer, I think it sounds like we DO balance each other out. The way you feel about chocolate? That’s exactly how I feel about alcohol. The only difference is I like to imagine a drink in my hand. I will even anticipate Friday evening cocktails, only to get half-way through my drink and hand the rest of it to my hubby. But I do enjoy the part of it I had!! But I will confess to drinking the entire glass of this sangria. I agree with you – there’s something about a sangria that feels a little easier to drink. 🙂
Hi Marly, this looks amazing! I’m making a note to whip up a pitcher for the 4th of July. I just started following you on Pinterest. I love your site. Your photos are gorgeous!
Looks delicious! Just pinned it for future reference! 🙂
I’m not a big drinker either, but Sangria is one of my favorites, especially peach sangria! It’s one of the only things I order when we go out to eat. I’m saving this one for post-baby!
I remember my first drink post-baby. As I’ve said before here I’m not a big drinker, but for some reason when I was pregnant and therefore couldn’t drink, it felt like I craved it even more. Can’t wait to meet you little guy one of these days…soon! 🙂
