Delicious Sparkling Berry Peach Sangria Recipe

We all like wine, but sometimes we want something a little more cocktail-y. Something a little more special. Something like this Sparkling Berry Peach Sangria.

Sangria is one of the classic wine cocktails. The best part is it’s easy to make and really difficult to mess up.

At the heart of it, Sangria is basically fruit infused wine. Now, you can use different fruits, and different types of wine to get different flavors of sangria. Right now, peaches and berries are at the height of the season, and they’re perfect for this refreshing, summer-y drink.

Now, this sangria recipe is a little on the sweeter side. That’s why you want to make sure to use a dry red wine. That’s also part of the reason to use a sparkling water or club soda, instead of a prosecco or other sparkling wine.

You don’t need a lot of tools to make sangria. The most important tool is a big pitcher. Clear ones are the best, so you can see all the fruit and other goodies that are in there.  I really love this one, personally. You’ll also need something to help you muddle the fruit. You can use a fancy cocktail muddler, or you can use something like a good wooden spoon. If you drink a lot of sparkling water, you could also consider adding a Sodastream to your kitchen gadgets.
