Ingredients

  • 16 oz fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup triple sec (or Chambord for a darker hue)
  • 1/2 cup peach juice (such as R.W. Knudsen Organic Peach Nectar)
  • 2 ripe peaches or nectarines (sliced)
  • 1 chilled 750 ml bottle Moscato
  • 6 oz fresh raspberries
  • Ginger ale or soda water (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Add the sliced strawberries, peaches or nectarines, and raspberries to the bottom of a large pitcher.
  2. Step 2: Pour the chilled bottle of Moscato, triple sec or Chambord, and peach juice over the fruit. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  3. Step 3: Refrigerate the pitcher for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld. For best results, chill overnight but no longer than 24 hours to keep fruit fresh.
  4. Step 4: When ready to serve, pour the sangria into glasses, including some soaked fruit, filling about three-quarters full.
  5. Step 5: Top each glass with ginger ale or soda water for a refreshing fizz.
  6. Step 6: Garnish with additional fruit pieces if desired, and enjoy immediately while chilled and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

  • For a lighter version, use soda water instead of ginger ale to reduce sweetness.
  • Swap in nectarines for peaches if preferred; both work beautifully in this sangria.
  • Add a splash of fresh lemon or lime juice for an extra bright, citrusy note.
  • Chambord can replace triple sec to give the sangria a richer color and raspberry flavor.

Storage

Store leftover sangria in a sealed pitcher or container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For best flavor and fruit texture, consume within this time. To re-serve, stir gently and add fresh ginger ale or soda water to refresh the fizz.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I make this sangria ahead of time?

Yes, preparing the sangria a few hours or overnight ahead lets the flavors meld beautifully. Just don’t exceed 24 hours of refrigeration to keep the fruit fresh and vibrant.

What can I substitute if I don’t have Moscato?

Any light, sweet white wine like Riesling or Pinot Grigio works well as a substitute for Moscato, though the flavor and sweetness level may vary slightly.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sangria:

  • 16 oz fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup triple sec (or Chambord for a darker hue)
  • 1/2 cup peach juice (such as R.W. Knudsen Organic Peach Nectar)
  • 2 ripe peaches or nectarines (sliced)
  • 1 chilled 750 ml bottle Moscato wine
  • 6 oz fresh raspberries

For Serving:

  • Ginger ale (or soda water for a less sweet option)

Instructions

  1. Assemble the Ingredients in the Pitcher: Add the sliced strawberries, peaches, and raspberries into the bottom of a large pitcher. Pour in the chilled Moscato, triple sec or Chambord, and peach juice over the fruit. Gently stir to combine and start infusing flavors.
  2. Chill the Sangria: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 2 hours. This resting time allows the fruit flavors to meld beautifully with the wine and spirits. For a deeper, more developed taste, leave it overnight but do not exceed 24 hours to keep the fruit fresh.
  3. Serve the Sangria: When ready to serve, pour the mixture into wine glasses, filling them about three-quarters full and including some of the soaked fruit in each glass. Top off each glass with ginger ale, club soda, or your preferred bubbly beverage to add a refreshing fizz.
  4. Garnish and Enjoy: Add extra pieces of fresh fruit as garnish to each glass for a festive and colorful finish. Serve immediately while chilled and bubbly.

Notes

  • For a less sweet sangria, substitute ginger ale with soda water or club soda.
  • Use Chambord instead of triple sec for a richer, raspberry flavor and a deeper color.
  • Chilling time can be adjusted based on how intense you want the fruit flavors to be melded with the wine.
  • Do not let the sangria sit longer than 24 hours to avoid fruit spoilage.
  • Fresh, ripe peaches and berries provide the best flavor; adjust fruit quantities as desired for more or less sweetness.
