This Refreshing Peach Rosé Sangria is a fruity drink that’s perfect for warm days! It combines sweet peaches with crisp rosé wine, making each sip feel like a summer party.
It’s super easy to make! Just slice up some juicy peaches, mix with rosé, a splash of soda, and maybe a sprig of mint. You’ll love how it looks and tastes! Cheers! 🍑🥂
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Rosé Wine: Choose a dry rosé for a balanced flavor. If you prefer something sweeter, opt for a semi-sweet rosé. Sparkling rosé can also make it fun and fizzy! You can even use white wine if rosé isn’t available.
Peaches: Fresh, ripe peaches are best, but nectarines or even canned peaches can work in a pinch. Just make sure to drain any syrup if using canned. I love using a mix of different fruits for color!
Raspberries: These add a tartness that works well with the sweet peaches. If you can’t find fresh raspberries, frozen ones can be a good alternative as they will still infuse some nice flavor.
Peach Schnapps: This is optional but adds a sweet peachy kick. If you want to skip it, just increase the amount of peach slices or add a bit more honey for sweetness.
Orange Juice: Freshly squeezed orange juice has the best taste. You can also use lemon juice for a zesty contrast. If you’re in a hurry, bottled juice will do fine!
How Do I Make Sure My Sangria is Extra Refreshing?
To make your sangria refreshing, start by chilling all ingredients! Follow these steps:
- Keep the rosé and sparkling water in the fridge before mixing.
- Use plenty of ice when serving to keep it cool.
- Infuse flavors by letting the mixture sit in the fridge for 1-2 hours or longer. The longer it sits, the more flavorful it gets!
- Top with chilled sparkling water or club soda just before serving for a fizzy touch.
- Adding mint not only looks pretty but also adds a fresh aroma. Gently slap the leaves before adding them to release their oils.
If you follow these tips, your Peach Rosé Sangria will be the hit of your gathering!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Mix the Base:
In a large pitcher, combine the chilled rosé wine, peach schnapps (if you’re using it), freshly squeezed orange juice, and honey or simple syrup. Stir well to make sure the honey is nicely mixed in and dissolved. This is where the magic begins!
