Ingredients

The beauty of this White Peach Sangria recipe is the balance between sweet Moscato, fresh fruit, and sparkling lemon-lime soda. Each ingredient contributes something unique, creating layers of flavor that keep every sip interesting.

1 750 milliliter bottles Moscato wine
1 12 fluid ounce cans or bottles lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite)
2 oz brandy
2 oz peach schnapps
1 fresh peach pitted and sliced
4 fresh strawberries sliced
1/2 mango peeled, seeded, and sliced
1/4 fresh pineapple peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
6 fresh raspberries

Moscato serves as the sweet, fruity foundation. Its peach and floral notes pair naturally with the fresh fruit. The peach schnapps enhances those stone fruit flavors, while the brandy adds depth and a subtle warmth.

Fresh peaches are the star ingredient, but the strawberries, mango, pineapple, and raspberries all contribute their own character. Pineapple adds tropical sweetness, mango brings a smooth richness, strawberries offer brightness, and raspberries add a slight tart contrast.

When selecting fruit, choose pieces that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape after several hours in the pitcher.

Suggested Liquor Brands and Substitutions

While this recipe works with many brands, choosing quality ingredients can make a noticeable difference. Fortunately, you don’t need premium bottles to make an excellent sangria.

Moscato: Barefoot Moscato, Yellow Tail Moscato, or Risata Moscato all work well and are budget-friendly.
Brandy: E&J VS Brandy or Paul Masson provide smooth flavor without increasing the cost too much.
Peach Schnapps: DeKuyper Peach Schnapps is widely available and blends nicely into the sangria.
Lemon-Lime Soda: Sprite is classic, but 7UP works just as well.
Peach Substitute: Nectarines can replace peaches if they’re in season or easier to find.
Lower Sweetness Option: Use a semi-sweet Pinot Grigio instead of Moscato for a less sugary version.

If fresh mango or pineapple isn’t available, frozen fruit can be used. Just thaw slightly before adding it to the pitcher.

Equipment and Glassware

One reason this recipe remains popular is that it requires very little equipment. Most home kitchens already have everything needed.

You’ll need:

Large Pitcher or beverage dispenser
Long mixing spoon
Cutting Board
Sharp knife
Measuring Jigger or measuring cup
Rocks glasses
Refrigerator space for chilling

For serving, wine glasses are traditional, but stemless wine glasses, large goblets, or even mason jars work perfectly. If you’re serving outdoors, durable acrylic wine glasses are a practical choice.

A clear pitcher is especially nice because it showcases the colorful fruit, making the sangria part of the presentation.

How to Make It

Making White Peach Sangria is incredibly straightforward. The hardest part is waiting while the flavors develop in the refrigerator. Trust me, the extra time is worth it.

In a large container, mix together the Moscato wine, lemon-lime soda, brandy, and peach schnapps.
Add the sliced peaches, strawberries, mangos, pineapple chunks, and raspberries to the mixture.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Chill the sangria in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing White Peach Sangria!

The recipe is wonderful as written, but some people like adding extra soda just before serving for additional fizz.

Pro Tips

A few small details can take your sangria from good to exceptional.

Chill all ingredients before mixing to speed up the cooling process.
Let it rest overnight whenever possible for deeper flavor.
Use ripe fruit for the best sweetness and aroma.
Add extra fruit before serving if you want a fresher appearance.
Avoid over-stirring after adding delicate berries.
Keep the pitcher refrigerated during parties when possible.
Add soda last-minute if you want maximum carbonation.
Use frozen fruit instead of ice to avoid dilution.

Variations

One of the best things about sangria is how easily it can be customized.

Berry White Sangria: Add blueberries and blackberries for a berry-forward version.
Tropical Sangria: Increase the mango and pineapple for a more tropical flavor profile.
Citrus Sangria: Add orange slices and lemon wheels for extra brightness.
Sparkling Sangria: Replace the soda with sparkling wine for a more festive presentation.
Non-Alcoholic Version: Use white grape juice, peach nectar, and lemon-lime soda instead of alcohol.

Each variation keeps the spirit of the original recipe while offering something a little different.

Storage and Serving Notes

Because sangria is designed for batch preparation, it stores surprisingly well. Keep leftovers refrigerated in a covered pitcher for up to 48 hours.

The fruit will continue releasing flavor over time, though it may become softer after the first day. For the freshest presentation, you can add a few extra fruit slices before serving leftovers.

This recipe typically serves 6 to 8 people, depending on glass size. For larger gatherings, simply double the ingredients and use a beverage dispenser.

When serving outdoors, keep the pitcher in a cooler or ice bucket to maintain freshness.
