Description
Peach sangria by Bobby Flay delivers refreshing summer flavors with white wine, fresh peaches, and subtle herbal notes. Sweet and zesty blends promise cool relaxation when you pour this delightful cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 peaches (ripe but firm, thinly sliced)
- 8 fl oz (237 ml) peach juice (fresh)
- 750 ml (1 bottle) white wine (dry or semi-dry)
- 4 fl oz (118 ml) peach schnapps or peach whiskey
- 8 fl oz (237 ml) sparkling water or seltzer water (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Fruit Preparation: Delicately slice peaches and arrange them evenly across the bottom of a large pitcher, creating a vibrant foundation for the sangria.
- Liquid Composition: Pour white wine over the peach slices, then gently incorporate peach juice and peach schnapps, stirring with a long-handled spoon to blend the flavors seamlessly.
- Flavor Infusion: Cover the pitcher tightly and refrigerate for a minimum of 90 minutes, allowing the ingredients to marry and develop a rich, complex profile. For optimal taste, let the sangria rest between 4 to 24 hours.
- Final Assembly: Before serving, stir the sangria to redistribute the fruit and liquids, then add sparkling water to introduce a light, effervescent touch.
- Serving Technique: Fill glasses with ice, carefully pour the chilled sangria, ensuring each glass receives a generous portion of fruit. Elevate the presentation by garnishing with additional peach slices and a delicate mint sprig for a refreshing visual and aromatic accent.
Notes
- Optimize Fruit Infusion: Let sangria chill for 4-24 hours to allow peaches and liquors to develop a deep, complex flavor profile.
- Carbonation Timing: Add sparkling water just before serving to maintain crisp, refreshing bubbles and prevent premature flatness.
- Fruit Distribution Strategy: Stir sangria gently before serving to ensure even fruit and liquid mixture in each glass.
- Temperature Matters: Serve over ice to keep the drink cool and enhance the vibrant, fresh peach notes.
