Tasting Notes
This refreshing sangria offers a perfect blend of sweet and tangy flavors. Fresh peaches give a bright, fruity taste while black tea adds depth and subtle earthiness.
The wine base creates light floral notes that mix well with the peach. White wine works best since it won’t overpower the delicate fruit flavors.
Sweetness comes from both the peaches and a touch of honey or simple syrup. The drink stays crisp and not too sugary.
The drink has a light golden-pink color that looks beautiful in a glass. Fresh mint garnish adds an aromatic touch and cool finish.
Flavor Profile:
- Primary: Sweet peach, black tea
- Secondary: Floral wine, honey
- Finish: Clean, refreshing with mint
Best Served:
- Temperature: Well chilled (35-40°F)
- Glass Type: Wine glass or mason jar
- Garnish: Peach slices, mint sprigs
The sangria tastes best after sitting for 2-4 hours, letting the flavors mix together. Ice keeps it cold without making it too watery.
Substitute
You can swap peaches with other stone fruits in this sangria recipe. Nectarines and apricots work great as alternatives.
For a different twist, use mango or pineapple instead of peaches. These tropical fruits create a sweeter drink with unique flavors.
Don’t have fresh fruit? Frozen peaches or other frozen fruits work well too. Just add them directly to the drink while still frozen to keep it cold.
Tea substitutes:
- Black tea
- Green tea
- White tea
- Rooibos tea (caffeine-free)
You can replace the white wine with rosé wine or prosecco for different flavor profiles. For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling white grape juice or peach nectar mixed with sparkling water.
Want it less sweet? Skip the simple syrup and use unsweetened tea. Or try a sugar-free sweetener instead.
Fresh mint can take the place of basil for garnish. Thyme or rosemary sprigs also make nice alternatives.
