White Peach Sangria

Having a party anytime soon? Are you tired of serving the same old thing…beer and wine?  Well, kick things up a notch with this REALLY easy and yummy white peach sangria recipe.  And since peaches are in season, it is the perfect time of year to make it!  Make sure your peaches are ripe and not too hard…you definitely want them nice and juicy…especially the ones you puree.  Make sure to load it up with lots of fruit and give the flavors time to come together.

Last weekend was my sister’s bachelorette party and I wanted to make it special.  Part of that was making sure I brought some aspects of us into the festivities.  Being that we grew up in Georgia (the peach state), I thought it would be perfect to make a few gallons of this white peach sangria to bring with us on the trolley.  It was actually a recipe Ann stumbled across a few years back and was so good that it has stuck around.  Drinker be warned…this can definitely knock you on your butt pretty quickly!

Fresh peaches, oranges, and apples sliced
