Every summer I look forward to getting amazing fresh peaches from a local “Peach Truck.” The peaches are from Georgia, and each one is everything that the fruit should be: sweet, juicy, and bursting with flavor. Find the freshest peaches you can to make this “sip of summertime” sangria.
2 cups sliced fresh peaches (about 2 medium peaches)
¼ cup fresh orange juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bottle dry white wine, chilled
½ cup peach schnapps
1 (12-ounce) can club soda
Place the peaches, orange juice, and sugar in a large pitcher, and allow the fruit to macerate for 15 to 20 minutes. Add the wine and peach schnapps. Slowly pour in the club soda right before serving. Leave the peach slices in the sangria so they will soak up the flavors in the drink. The fruit can be eaten once the serving glass is empty.
