This peach sangria is utterly delicious and brimming with summer flavor! It’s quickly become a favorite, and we’re certain you’ll love it as much as we do.
I’m convinced sangria is one the best party cocktails, and this white wine and peach sangria is one of my favorites. You can make this 30 minutes before serving or the day before. I love the sliced peaches, and while fresh peaches are lovely, this cocktail works just as well with frozen sliced peaches from the freezer section.
You have two options for serving this peach sangria. Serve as-is, which means you’ll have a delicious, but relatively strong drink, or stretch the sangria a little by topping each drink with sparkling water to make more of a spritzer. Both ways are excellent! For another variation, see our white sangria made with white wine, apples, and raspberries.
Key Ingredients
- White Wine: Unlike our red sangria recipe, where we call for dry red wine, this sangria calls for white wine. I love the white wine with the peaches and think you will, too. Use a dry white wine that you already enjoy (“dry” simply means the wine is not sweet). Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or dry Reisling are all great here.
- Grand Marnier: This orange liqueur adds a bit of richness to the sangria, which I love. It does bump up the alcohol content, so if you are looking for a lighter/less alcoholic drink, consider reducing or omitting this.
- Peaches: If you have fresh ripe peaches available, use them! If not, feel free to substitute sliced frozen peaches.
- Peach Nectar: Fresh peaches infuse peachy flavor into this sangria, but we wanted more. So, we add 1 can of peach nectar. I find it sold near the juices in my local store and have seen it in the international aisles and in Mexican grocery stores. Peach juice is a good substitute.
- Berries: These are optional, but make the sangria really pretty. I love raspberries and blackberries.
- Sparkling Water: Also optional! If you like bubbly cocktails, divide the sangria between glasses and then top with a splash of sparkling water. You can even use flavored water like peach, guava, or lime!
Perfect Peach Sangria
- PREP
- TOTAL
Our white wine and peach sangria is fruity, fun, and delicious! Use fresh or frozen peaches in this sangria, then for an extra peachy kick, add peach nectar. I find it in the juice aisle and sometimes in the international aisle of my local grocery store.
Serve this sangria as-is, or top with sparkling water to turn it into more of a spritzer.
You Will Need
1 (750ml) bottle of dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc, chilled
1 cup (235ml) Grand Marnier
1 (12oz) can peach nectar, chilled
2 peaches, pits removed and sliced, or 2 cups frozen peach slices
1 cup (6oz) mixed berries
Sparking water, optional to turn into spritzers
Directions
1Combine the white wine, Grand Marnier, and peach nectar in a tall pitcher. Add the peaches, stir well, and then refrigerate until chilled, ideally for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
2Just before serving, stir in the berries. Then, divide the sangria between individual glasses and top each with sparkling water, if desired.

Looks great. I wonder if you could use a sparkling wine instead of a white wine?
Hi Julie, I bet that would be great, just keep in mind that the bubbles will fall flat as the sangria sits, so you may want to serve immediately after adding the wine.
This is a summer party favorite. I think the Grand Marnier gives it a nice depth. Don.t substitute. Fresh fruits are a must.
You can also find Goya Peach nectar in the Mexican section of Walmart!
Thanks, Erin!
This sounds fabulous! Happy weekend!
