What's a Barbeque Without Peach Sangrias?

Vonnie Kennedy
What better way to say summer than to whip a pitcher of "white" peach sangria tonight to serve at your barbeque tomorrow.

Ingredients:

1 bottle of Pinot Grigio Wine (or your favorite white wine)
¾ Peach Flavored Vodka
6 tablespoons of thawed lemonade concentrate
4 Unpeeled fresh peaches (pitted and sliced)
1 cup white seedless grapes (halved)
1 cup red seedless grapes (halved)

Grab your favorite pitcher and toss in all the ingredients. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Chill for 24 hours and serve the next day before and/or during the barbeque.

The first time I made the sangria, the recipe called for added sugar but it was too sweet. The fruit's natural sugar is all you need. The next time I made it without the added sugar and I also sliced the peaches somewhat thinner. It was perfect. You can substitute fresh or canned regular peaches with white peaches when in season for a more crispy fruit. Why not treat your friends to something fun to chew on between sips of your summer fresh sangria.

Don't forget to chill the sangria a day ahead of time to blend all the flavors. During your party, try to return the pitcher to the refrigerator whenever possible or add ice. Nobody likes warm sangria.

I hope you enjoy this delicious peach sangria recipe. You can also check out my peach vodka drink recipe and remember- it's five o clock somewhere. . .

    So glad you enjoyed it, Darlene, hope it didn't make you too tipsy-hehe.

    Yep, the 3/4 cup of peach vodka worked perfectly. I used your recipe this weekend; sliced the peaches thin as you suggested, halved each grape, and the sangria was sooo delicious. Didn't use any ice, because chilling it for 2 hrs. sufficed. Couldn't find white grapes, but the produce dept. said green ones were the same. Also, we munched on the marinated fruits while sipping the sangria, and later just as a snack. Thank you so utterly much for doing this article, and the instructions were perfect!

    Darlene,
    Glad you pointed out on the private message that I had 3/4 peach vodka in the recipe. It's 3/4 cup, folks, not 3/4 bottle of vodka. I want everybody to enjoy the sangria and not be passed out on the floor!! Enjoy everybody and thanks again, Darlene. :)

    Had to go back here for your recipe. I printed it out, and this weekend will be a perfect time to make it, but I can't find the printout now! So here I go.... :-) Can't wait to see the surprise and delight on my daughter's face when I bring it out, and I owe it all to you!

    I think I'll try the non-alcoholic recipe - then I won't be so sleepy later. :)

    I'm with Cindy. Got to have the non-alcohol version these days. But this recipe really sounds delicious!

    Cindy - try club soda and grape juice to replace the alcohol. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for the comment!!
