White Peach Sangria with Raspberries and Nectarines

Sharing is caring!

Iโ€™ve always been one to be pretty willing to try new things, and even come up with what my husband says are โ€œconcoctionsโ€ for recipes.  Most of the time they turn out pretty good, with maybe a bit of tweaking, but not always.  Summer drinks can be a refreshing item to add to any menu, or just to enjoy as these days are getting hotter here in the South.  This White Peach Sangria with Raspberries and Nectarines combines so many of my favorite summer time flavors.

Walking through Trader Joeโ€™s recently I spied a carton of nectarines which were just at a nice ripeness stage, then white peaches โ€“ thinking to myself, OK โ€“ Iโ€™m here to buy wine so why not try my hand at Sangria.  Iโ€™ve never made it except for a non-alcoholic version a few years ago.  Oh, and letโ€™s throw in some raspberries for flavor too.

After a day of shopping in Atlanta and the AC in my car not working just right, this would make a nice treat for us when we  got home.  Now to figure out how to make it.  I think my nieces from Arkansas enjoyed being the guinea pigs on this.

We looked up several different recipes to see what else was needed and there are as many recipes for this as there is a chocolate cake.  

Since this being done on a whim, I had to use what I had, or close by.  This is my favorite wine and always a must when shopping at Trader Joeโ€™s.  Luckily a trip to the liquor store to pick up peach brandy was only a five minute drive.

We were all tired and anxious to try it, but I actually liked it a bit better the 2nd day.  Plus, it had turned this pretty peachy-pink color from all of the fruit.
 
Donโ€™t forget the fruit is really good to eat โ€“ although it will be a bit strong.
 
White Peach Sangria with Raspberries and Nectarines

A light drink with lots of fruit flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle wine - Moscato D'Asti or any dry, white wine
  • 1 cup peach brandy
  • 4 white peaches, sliced
  • 2 nectarines, sliced
  • 1 pint raspberries
  • l liter Ginger Ale

Instructions

  1. Place sliced fruit in large bowl
  2. Pour in Wine and Brandy
  3. Stir lightly so not to mash fruit
  4. Gently pour in Ginger Ale
  5. Stir
  6. Chill

Notes

Wash all fruit before using
Chill liquids before mixing if you want to serve immediately

 Another version I think I will try next time is adding blackberries instead of raspberries.  Really though, it would be hard to go wrong with almost any fresh fruit. 

If you prefer a non-alcoholic drink, you might want to try this:
