The Essential Ingredients for the Perfect Sangria
This recipe uses a handful of simple, high-impact ingredients to create its signature refreshing flavor.
- Dry White Wine: This is the heart and soul of our sangria. It’s important to choose a dry, crisp, and unoaked white wine. You don’t need an expensive bottle, but choose one you would be happy to drink on its own.
- Best Varieties: Excellent choices include Sauvignon Blanc (for a grassy, citrusy note), Pinot Grigio (for a light, neutral profile), or a dry Riesling (for a touch of floral aroma).
- Peach Flavored Vodka: A splash of a spirit is classic in sangria. It boosts the alcohol content and adds a layer of flavor. Peach vodka is the perfect choice here to intensify the fresh peach flavor. You can also use a regular vodka, a smooth brandy, or a peach schnapps.
- Frozen Lemonade Concentrate: This is a brilliant shortcut and the secret weapon for a perfectly balanced sangria. A few spoonfuls of thawed lemonade concentrate provide both sweetness and a bright, zesty lemon flavor that is essential for cutting through the sweetness and making the whole drink taste fresh and vibrant.
- Fresh Fruit (White Peaches & Grapes): The beautiful, edible garnish!
- White Peaches: These are the star of the show. White peaches are typically sweeter, less acidic, and have a more delicate, floral flavor than their yellow-fleshed counterparts. Be sure to use ripe, fragrant peaches.
- Red & Green Grapes: Halved seedless grapes add beautiful pops of color to the pitcher and are absolutely delicious to eat after they have soaked in the boozy wine mixture.
Step-by-Step to the Easiest Sangria Ever
This recipe is all about simple assembly and letting the flavors meld in the refrigerator.
Step 1: Create the Sangria Base
In a large glass pitcher, combine the entire bottle of dry white wine, the 3/4 cup of peach-flavored vodka, the 6 tablespoons of thawed frozen lemonade concentrate, and the 1/4 cup of white sugar.
Stir the mixture well with a long spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pro Tip: To help the sugar dissolve more easily, you can stir it into the lemonade concentrate first to form a syrup, and then add it to the pitcher with the wine and vodka.
Step 2: Add the Fresh Fruit
Add the sliced white peaches, the halved red grapes, and the halved green grapes to the pitcher.
Give everything a gentle stir to combine the fruit with the wine mixture.
Step 3: Chill to Perfection (The Most Important Step!)
Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
This long, uninterrupted chilling time is the most crucial step in making great sangria. It’s not just about making the drink cold; this is the essential “infusion” or “marinating” time. It allows the fruit to absorb the flavors of the wine and vodka, and for the fruit to release its own sweet juices into the sangria, creating a much more delicious and harmonious final drink.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
When you are ready to serve, fill large wine glasses with fresh ice.
Pour the chilled sangria into the glasses. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to make sure each serving gets a generous amount of the delicious, wine-soaked sliced peaches and grapes.
Garnish with a fresh mint sprig or a thin lemon wheel, if desired.

- Make it Bubbly!: For a beautiful, festive, and fizzy sparkle, you can top off each individual glass of sangria with a splash of a chilled sparkling wine, like Prosecco or Cava. A splash of club soda or ginger ale also works well.
- Use a Different Stone Fruit: This recipe is absolutely fantastic with other summer stone fruits. Try it with thinly sliced nectarines, apricots, plums, or even a combination of all three instead of, or in addition to, the peaches.
- Add a Fresh Herbal Note: To add a lovely, fresh, and fragrant aroma to your sangria, you can add a few sprigs of a fresh herb to the pitcher along with the fruit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the best type of white wine to use for sangria?
The best white wines for sangria are dry, crisp, unoaked, and affordable. You want a wine with a good, bright acidity that will complement the fruit without being too sweet on its own. Excellent choices include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, a dry Spanish Albariño, or a dry French Rosé.
Q2: How long should I let my sangria sit before serving?
For the best flavor, you should let your sangria chill and infuse for at least 2 to 4 hours. This gives the flavors time to meld together. It’s even better if you can make it the night before and let it chill for up to 24 hours.
Q3: Can I use frozen peaches for this recipe?
Yes, you can absolutely use frozen sliced peaches, which makes this a great drink to enjoy year-round! There is no need to thaw them first. Simply add the frozen peach slices directly to the pitcher. They will thaw in the wine and will also help to keep the sangria cold.
Q4: Can I make a non-alcoholic version of this White Peach Sangria?
Yes, it’s easy to make a delicious and refreshing non-alcoholic version! Simply substitute the bottle of white wine with an equal amount of white grape juice. Omit the peach vodka, and instead, you can add a splash of peach nectar to boost the peach flavor. The result will be a beautiful, family-friendly punch that everyone can enjoy.
Q5: What is the difference between a white peach and a yellow peach?
White peaches have a pale, creamy white-to-pinkish flesh, while yellow peaches have a golden-yellow flesh. In terms of flavor, white peaches are typically lower in acidity and have a sweeter, more delicate, and almost floral flavor. Yellow peaches have a more robust, classic “peachy” flavor with a more pronounced tartness. Both are delicious, but white peaches are a particularly elegant choice for this light and refreshing sangria.
