Ingredients
Fruits
- 3 cups sliced peaches
- 2 cups raspberries
Liquids
- 750 mL Pinot Grigio wine
- 1 cup simple syrup (see note)
- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 750 mL champagne
Instructions
- Combine fruits: Add the sliced peaches and raspberries to a large pitcher, ensuring they are evenly distributed to infuse the sangria with fresh fruit flavor.
- Mix liquids: Pour the Pinot Grigio wine, simple syrup, and peach schnapps into the pitcher with the fruit. Stir gently to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Chill: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
- Serve: To serve, add some fruit from the pitcher into a wine glass. Fill the glass halfway with the sangria mixture, then top off the glass with champagne. Serve immediately to enjoy the sparkling freshness.
Notes
- Simple syrup can be made by dissolving equal parts sugar and water over low heat until clear. Let cool before using.
- For a less sweet sangria, adjust the amount of simple syrup to your preference.
- Use ripe and fresh peaches for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
- Chilling allows the fruit to infuse the wine and schnapps for enhanced taste.
- Serve immediately after adding champagne to maintain the bubbles and sparkle.
