Strawberry Peach Sangria is one of my favorite summertime sangria recipes.
There is so much going on in this sangria recipe with three different kinds of alcohol and plenty of fresh summer fruit! Serve this in glasses with a spoon– because your guests will want to nibble on the alcohol-infused fruit as they drink their sangria! It’s the perfect sangria recipe for summer entertaining.
Ingredients needed for Strawberry- Peach Sangria:
You’ll need three kinds of alcohol for this sangria: dry white wine, Essentia (sweet orange muskat dessert wine) and peach liqueur. It’s blended with fresh strawberries, peaches, orange and lemon. Strawberry nectar (look in your market’s fruit juice aisle) is added in too. If you wish to extend the sangria or cut the alcohol flavor a bit, feel free to add in a cup or two of club soda.
How far ahead can I prepare the sangria?
Sangria is meant to be given time to marinate. That being said, it should be made at least a couple hours ahead of serving. And it’s even better if made in the morning and served in the evening, giving it several hours to let the fruit, alcohol and juices to meld together and turn out amazing flavor. I don’t recommend, however, making it the night before. If given too much time to marinate, the fruit gets a little old, and the sangria may take on different colors and flavors.

If I can’t find Essentia… is there anything I can use instead?
Here’s what I found on the Internet about trying to sub for sweet orange Muscat dessert wine: Muscat = Moscatel = Muscatel = Muscadel = Moscato Notes: This is a sweet and fruity dessert wine made from Muscat grapes. Don’t confuse it with Muscadet, which is a dry white wine. Substitutes: port OR Riesling OR Gewürztraminer OR 1C = 1/2 C white wine + 1/2 C water + 1/3 C sugar.
