🍓 Why We Love This Recipe

• Super summery: This sangria is light, refreshing, and delicious. It's great for any summer occasion - whether that's a rehearsal dinner or a BBQ at your friend's house.
• White wine: Red wine sangria is great, but during the summer months, white wine sangria is definitely our preference. It's lighter, more refreshing, and can take on more delicate and subtle flavors like fresh basil and peach.
• Crowd pleaser: This recipe is easy to make, serves a lot of people, and can be easily customized for your friends and family. Try different summer fruits, like raspberries, nectarines, apricots, or whatever else you have on hand!

🍑 Ingredients

Here's everything you'll need to make this white wine strawberry peach sangria:

📋 Ingredient Notes

• Choice of wine: Opt for something dry and acidic, like Pinot Grigio or Riesling. We chose a Sauvignon Blanc for this recipe.
  • If you'd prefer, you can also opt for something less traditional like Rosé, Prosecco or Cava (Spanish sparkling wine).
• Picking a pitcher: We use this tall, thin pitcher from Crate & Barrel all the time - it's sleek, classic and always looks great! For this particular sangria, we used this all-purpose pitcher.
• Basil: We opted to chiffonade basil for this recipe. If you need a primer on how to chiffonade, here's a great video. You basically just stack a few leaves, roll them up tightly, and slice them up.
• Elderflower liqueur: If you can't find any at the store, or if you don't have any in your liquor cabinet, you can substitute with a fruit liqueur or Gran Marnier or Triple Sec.

🔪 Step-by-step Instructions

PREP: Slice 1 cup of strawberries and 1 cup of peaches. Chiffonade the basil: stack leaves on top of one another, roll tightly, then cut perpendicular to the stack.

(1) Add sliced fruit and basil to a large pitcher.

(2) Pour in white wine, club soda, and ginger beer.

(3 & 4) Stir well and refrigerate for 2-4 hours before serving.

💭 Expert Tips and FAQs

• If you can't find any elderflower liqueur, you can substitute with a fruit liqueur or Gran Marnier or Triple Sec.
• Sangria can stay in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. Any longer than that, and the fruit might start to become mushy.
• Let the sangria refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors of the strawberry and peach soak in to the sangria. (It also tastes much better chilled – nobody wants warm wine!).
• Use a sharp knife while chiffonading basil to prevent bruising.
