This sparkling peach and strawberry sangria is light, fruity, and made for warm weather moments. Think juicy peaches, sweet strawberries, and a crisp sparkling finish that feels refreshing from the very first sip.
I love serving this when friends come over on sunny afternoons. It is quick to mix, beautiful in a pitcher, and tastes even better after the fruit has had time to mingle. If you are planning a summer gathering for adults, this one always disappears fast. Let's mix it up.

Ingredients

- 1 cup peach schnapps
- 4 cups dry white wine
- ½ cup sugar
- 4 cups fresh sliced peaches
- 2 cups fresh sliced strawberries
- 1 bottle champagne
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. When peaches are in season, they really shine here. If strawberries are especially sweet, you can slightly reduce the sugar.
A dry white wine works best to balance the sweetness from the fruit and liqueurs. Save the champagne for the very end so it stays bubbly and light.
If you want a lighter version, you can use less sugar or add extra fruit to naturally sweeten the sangria.
Instructions
- Add the peach rum, peach schnapps, white wine, and sugar to a large pitcher.
- Stir until the sugar has fully dissolved.
- Gently stir in the sliced peaches and strawberries.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours so the flavors can blend.
- Right before serving, stir in the champagne.
- Serve chilled with extra fruit in each glass.
Pro Tips for Success
- Let the sangria chill longer if possible. The flavor deepens as it sits.
- Slice the fruit thin so it releases more juice.
- Add the champagne just before serving to keep it lively.
- Serve in clear glasses to show off the fruit.
Storage and Reheating
Store the sangria base without champagne in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Once the champagne is added, it is best enjoyed the same day.
Make Ahead & Freezing
You can prepare the sangria base up to a day in advance. Keep it chilled and add the champagne right before serving. Freezing is not recommended, as it changes the texture of the fruit.
Tips and Variations
- Add a splash of sparkling water for a lighter sip.
- Swap strawberries for raspberries for a different berry note.
- Garnish with fresh mint for a garden-party feel.
- Serve over ice for extra chill on hot days.
FAQs
