Cherry & Peach Sangria



"Cherry & Peach Sangria" .. Summertime In A Glass!

It's "Thirsty Thursday" and time for another "Summertime Sangria Recipe"! You'll enjoy this week's "Cherry and Peach Sangria" Recipe, which could be called the epitome of summer in a glass. Bright fresh fruit, “summery” flavors and it’s super easy to make. So what's not to love?

Cherry and Peach Sangria

1 bottle (750 ml) semi-dry white wine (Riesling or Vidal Blanc)
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup brandy
3 cups pitted Bing or Rainer Cherries
2 peaches sliced
½ cup peach Schnapps or Peach Vodka
2 ½ cups white grape juice
Club soda (to top off or to taste)
Several sprigs of fresh basil (optional)

In a serving pitcher, dissolve sugar in brandy. Add Cherries and Peaches and let steep for at least an hour.

Pour in the Peach Schnapps or Peach Vodka, White Grape Juice and White Wine and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours.

Right before serving, stir gently and if you wish, add basil leaves. Pour in individual glasses over ice, taste and top with club soda if desired. Garnish with a cherry and serve.

Of all the things to love about this sangria recipe is that you can adjust the strength to your liking .. or should I say loving?
