Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 ml dry white wine
- 500 ml sparkling water or club soda
- 60 ml orange liqueur (e.g., Triple Sec or Cointreau)
- 30 ml peach schnapps
- 250 ml white grape juice
- 1 fresh orange
- 1 fresh lemon
- 1 fresh lime
- 1 fresh green apple
- 1 fresh peach or nectarine
- 6 fresh strawberries
- 1 tbsp sugar or honey (optional, for sweetness)
- 2 cups ice cubes
Instructions
Wash all fresh fruits thoroughly under cool water.
Slice the orange, lemon, and lime into thin rounds, and remove any seeds. Leave the peels on for added color and flavor.
Core and thinly slice the green apple and peach (or nectarine), leaving the skins on for visual appeal.
Remove the stems from the strawberries and cut them into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In a large pitcher, combine the sliced fruits (orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, and strawberries).
Pour the white wine, orange liqueur, peach schnapps, and white grape juice into the pitcher over the fruits. Stir gently to mix well.
If desired, add 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey for additional sweetness, stirring until dissolved.
Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or up to 6-8 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.
Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water or club soda to add effervescence.
Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice, including some fruit slices in each glass.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing Blonde Sangria!
