Summer is officially here, and we’ve been busy prepping our backyard garden for entertaining season. I’m dreaming up tablescapes, stocking up on citronella candles, and—of course—working on a new 5-minute summer recipe series to help elevate your warm-weather meals. Think homemade burger sauces, zippy salad dressings, and fun cocktails like this sangria.
There’s something so joyful about serving a pitcher drink that feels celebratory but takes very little effort. This one was inspired by a bag of ripe peaches and a few handfuls of blueberries I had on hand—and now I can’t stop making it.
Why I Love This Peach Sangria
- It’s make-ahead friendly. The longer it chills, the better it tastes.
- It’s adaptable. Swap the fruit, change the juice, or make it boozy or booze-free.
- It screams summer. Fruity, light, and easy to scale for a crowd.
Plus, sangria is naturally gorgeous. You don’t have to garnish it—it’s already a showstopper in the pitcher.
The Best Peach Sangria Recipe for Summer
When summer finally arrives in full swing, I find myself craving recipes that feel effortless—meals and drinks that are low-lift but high reward. This peach sangria recipe is exactly that: refreshing, fruity, and the perfect pitcher cocktail to serve at backyard BBQs, weekend gatherings, or a quiet evening on the patio.
It’s made with white wine, fresh peaches, blueberries, peach juice, and a splash of vodka—and the result is the ultimate sunshine-in-a-glass kind of drink. Whether you’re hosting a crowd or just toasting to a Tuesday, this sangria will quickly become one of your go-to summer sips.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what goes into this easy peach sangria recipe:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries – for color and sweet, juicy bursts.
- 1 cup peach slices – fresh or frozen both work well.
- 1 lime, thinly sliced – adds brightness and citrusy depth.
- 1 bottle white wine (like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc) – chilled.
- 1 cup vodka – or substitute peach schnapps for extra peach flavor.
- 1 cup peach juice (or peach nectar) – look for 100% juice for best taste.
- Sparkling water – adds fizz and lightness.
- Ice cubes and fresh mint (optional) – for serving.
Tip: If using frozen peaches, no need to thaw. They’ll help chill the sangria and keep it cold.
What is the Best White Wine to Make Sangria?
For white sangria, the base wine is typically a light-bodied white wine, such as a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio, and the fruit selection may differ, often including peaches, melons, or citrus fruits.
Substitutions & Variations
Make it a mocktail: Skip the vodka and use sparkling peach water or lemonade instead.
Make it sweeter: Add a splash of simple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter sangria.
Add more fruit: Sliced strawberries, oranges, or frozen raspberries make great additions.
Go sparkling: Swap white wine for Prosecco for a bubbly version.
How to Make Peach Sangria
Finish and serve: Just before serving, stir in the peach juice. Top with sparkling water, then fill each glass with ice, pour over the sangria, and garnish with fresh mint and extra fruit slices if desired.
Combine the fruit and booze: In a large pitcher, add the blueberries, peach slices, and lime slices. Pour in the vodka and bottle of white wine.
Chill: Let the mixture sit in the fridge for at least 1 hour to let the fruit infuse and the flavors develop.
Expert Tips for the Best Sangria
Chill ahead of time. Sangria tastes best after an hour or two in the fridge. You can even make it the night before.
Use ripe peaches. They’ll add natural sweetness and infuse the wine beautifully.
Choose a crisp wine. A dry white like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio balances the sweetness of the fruit and juice.
No need to peel the fruit. Leave the skins on for added color and texture.

How to Store Leftovers
Leftover sangria can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The fruit will continue to soften and infuse the drink, but the sparkling water will lose its fizz—just add a splash more when serving again!
