Peach Sangria Ingredients

• Peach Lemonade Vodka – we like to use the Smirnoff brand for this flavor, but feel free to experiment with other brands or flavors.
• Peach Wine – Barefoot makes a great peach “fruitscato” that works perfectly for this sangria!
• V-8 Mango Peach Juice – helps dilute some of the alcohol and adds a pop of tropical mango flavor.
• Ice Cubes – you’ll want to drink this cocktail ice cold.
• Canned Peach Slices – you can also use fresh peaches and slice them yourself, but this ingredient cuts down on prep time and you can use the peach juice for extra flavor and sweetness in your drinks.
• Peach Rings – for a cute and delicious garnish.
• Mint Leaves – adds a pop of color and cool minty flavor!

Peach Lemonade Vodka Sangria FAQ’s

What brand of peach lemonade vodka is best for these cocktails?

Smirnoff Peach Lemonade vodka is going to be your best bet for when you want that peach lemonade flavor.

There are many other brands that have a regular peach flavored vodka, but not many others have the addition of citrus.

Some other brands you could try for a more classic peach flavored vodka are Svedka, Deep Eddy, New Amsterdam, and Absolut.

But don’t feel the need to splurge for something super expensive–these cocktails will taste great with any kind of peach vodka!

How long does peach sangria last?

Once you put everything together, your sangria will realistically last up to 5 days in the fridge. One of the biggest obstacles is the inclusion of fruit, which will turn much faster than any of the juice or alcohol components, so just keep your eyes on that.

You can also freeze your sangria for a couple of weeks. Overall, this drink will be best right after putting everything together.

How long do you let fruit soak in sangria?

This all depends on what kind of fruit you’re using. For this peach sangria, you don’t need much time at all, since most of the peach juices are going right into the pitcher and the flavors will be well incorporated and prevalent right away.

If you decide to add other fruits, you may want to let the pitcher sit in the fridge for at least an hour or so to let some of the other flavors make themselves present.

How to drink sangria?

Sangria is almost always better when served cold, so be sure to keep it in the fridge for as long as possible or whenever possible.

Adding ice can water it down a bit but may also help keep it cool and refreshing. If kept cold, you can just pour your sangria into glasses and serve as is.

You may also want to serve it on the rocks–this peach sangria is sweet and flavorful enough that a bit of ice isn’t going to affect the drink much.

 

Popular Variations and Substitutions

• Some other fruits that are classic sangria add-ins and would taste great in this peach sangria: citrus slices (limes, lemons, oranges, even grapefruit), strawberries, pineapple, mango, melon, cherries, or berries.
• If you’re looking for a bolder flavor, try making this cocktail with red wine, or mixing some red wine with the peach. For a lighter drink that has less sweetness, try a crisp white like a sauvignon blanc.
• I used yellow peaches for this drink, but white peaches can also be substituted.
• To give your peach sangria a bit of a lift, add some sparkling water (flavored or unflavored) to provide some bubbly fizz.
