Happy Friday! I have the easiest, summeriest cocktail to share with you: peach sangria!
This weekend, it’s going to be 102 degrees(!) here in Austin. Because hot summer days call for cold, refreshing drinks, I decided to come up with a new summer party drink recipe. I figure everyone loves sangria, so I thought – what would be more seasonal than peach sangria? Now one of my favorite sangria recipes, this drink is sweet, but not too sweet, and packed full of fruit and herbs.
Peach Sangria Recipe Ingredients
The base is simple: white wine, Grand Marnier, and fresh peaches. I also added a splash of ginger juice and a handful of mint and basil for an herby kick, but feel free to omit them for a more traditional peach sangria.
While I used yellow peaches, you could swap them for white peaches or add sliced apples, oranges, or strawberries for an extra-fruity twist.
How to Make Peach Sangria
Mix the ingredients in a large pitcher, and let it chill for at least a few hours (or overnight). It gets more peachy and herbaceous the longer it sits. When you’re ready to serve, pour into glasses and serve over ice. Cheers!
If you love this peach sangria recipe…
Try my classic margarita, watermelon margarita, mint julep, paloma, or hot toddy next!
- 1 bottle white wine (a pinot grigio, chenin blanc, or similar)
- 1 cup Grand Marnier
- 3-4 peaches, sliced
- Splash of ginger juice (or a bit of freshly grated ginger) (optional)
- 1 lemon or lime, sliced
- Handful of mint and/or basil
- Handful of ice
- Stir all ingredients together. Chill until you're ready to serve!
i cannot believe that it’s august and i haven’t made sangria yet this summer. i’ve been wanting to try a recipe with basil and this looks perfect!
What a nice twist on the traditional version! The fresh peaches just keep coming in at our farmer’s markets and what a great way to use them. I like the idea of sparkling water too (not that I have anything against a lovely boozy beverage) but I think it would add a nice finish to the glass. Thanks for sharing!!
I’ve been throwing peaches in Sangria like I grow them myself this summer!! I love it! This ginger peach combo is fantastic – definitely saving this 🙂
This sounds amazing! I love the idea of adding ginger. I’m definitely going to have to add this to my summer “to make” list!

Sangria is a MUST in the summer {or really, in my opinion, anytime!}. I love anything with ginger, and pairing it with the sweet summer fruit is absolute perfection 🙂
102 degrees?!?!!! ohmyohmy. can you buy a walk-in freezer and call it a tax write-off? also mint in sangria = HECK YES
This sounds like the perfect thing to drink while lying around the backyard on a hot summer afternoon! Sunglasses and big floppy hat optional. 🙂
omg these sounds divine! Now to have a summer bbq where I can make this to share so I don’t drink the entire thing lol
Yum! I love sangria, we made something similar only I used pear and basil with a fizzy peach mixer, would love if you had a look, http://peachparade.com/perfect-peachy-sangria/, 🙂 xox
this sounds amazing! adding it to my summer bucket list STAT.
This looks so refreshing!!! I’d love a glass right about NOW 🙂
Now I know what I’m going to do with all those peaches on my table! Peaches, ginger, and grand marnier – what could go wrong??
Yes to sangria! I have a ton of watermelon to use, so I’m thinking I’m going to need to make sangria happen!
This sounds totally refreshing. I love the combination of flavors.
This recipe looks fabulous! Stay cool in that hot Texas weather!
Gahhh this weekend is going to be brutal. I’m planning on spending 99% of it in the pool. Maybe with a batch of this sangria — perfection!
It’s funny as I haven’t made sangria this summer at all, not even once and now all I want is this sangria!!
This looks like my kind of sangria! The can usually only drink one of the really sugary ones, but I could drink a lot of this 🙂 I got the peaches, wine, and herbs, I just need to grab some grand mariner!
This looks so delicious and so refreshing! I hope you stay cool this weekend!
The photography is just amazing; makes me want to lean in and grab a glass.
102 actually sounds kind of nice because summers are so cold in the mountains.
Such a pretty drink and so summery!
Wauw, just stopped by! Amazing photos and awesome recipe!
Looks fresh and delicious! Ginger and peach sound like a great combo
OH MY GOSH! Can I please have a glass of that? Looks amazing!

I’ll have to grab some peaches from the market and save this one for next weekend! Looks amazing!
I can’t wait till it is summer here in Australia so I can try this! (or maybe I won’t wait) YUM! Thanks for sharing Liz x
What a lovely white sangria! I’m loving the picture with the wooden spoon sloshing around all the goodness! Mmmmmm, I would use a big swig of that!
🙂 Pinned!
ha, thanks 🙂 Didn’t quite have a utensil long enough to fit in that carafe!
Having a very heavy hand, I chuckled when I read your note about toning down the alcohol. We have never thought to add basil to a cocktail but I borrowed your idea, and it was delicious. Just though I would stop by to share. Have a great week.
I found myself with 20 pounds of peaches and knew I needed to have some friends over for pizza and sangria (both featuring peaches of course)! This recipe was such a breeze to make and really highlighted the fresh, ripe peaches. Thanks for sharing!
