Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole white peaches
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 750 ml white wine (Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 120 ml peach schnapps
- 240 ml sparkling water
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 5 sprigs additional fresh basil
- 1 whole sliced lemon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and slice the white peaches into thin wedges, leaving the skin on for color and flavor.
In a large pitcher, gently muddle the fresh basil leaves and granulated sugar using a wooden spoon. This helps release the basil's aromatic oils.
Add the sliced peaches to the pitcher and muddle lightly to combine the flavors. Avoid over-muddling to keep the peaches intact.
Pour in the white wine, peach schnapps, and lemon juice. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For the best results, let it chill for up to 4 hours.
Before serving, add the sparkling water to the pitcher and stir gently.
Fill serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria over the ice. Make sure each glass gets a few peach slices and some basil leaves.
Garnish with additional fresh basil sprigs and optional lemon slices for a pop of color.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Peach Basil Sangria!
