White peach sangria recipe
White peach sangria combines the crispness of white wine with ripe peaches. It is often enhanced with citrus flavors like lemon or lime, and a touch of simple syrup. This delightful drink is light, fruity, and perfect for sipping poolside or at a backyard gathering. I love how refreshing it is on a hot day.
The white wine provides a crisp, acidic base that balances the sweetness of the peach nectar and fruit. Light, effervescent, and slightly floral, this sangria is a crowd-pleaser, ideal for brunches, picnics, or poolside sipping.
