Fresh peaches are one of the best parts of summer, and this sangria featuring Vignoles and peach wine is a delicious way to enjoy them. Whip up a batch of Peachy Vignoles Sangria for your next get together.
Ingredients
4-6 Fresh Peaches
4 oz Honey
3 oz Brandy
1 bottle (750mL) Missouri Vignoles Wine
1 bottle Missouri Peach Wine
1-2 inch piece Fresh Ginger (optional)
24 oz Club Soda or Sparkling Wine
Directions
Slice and peel 2 peaches. Add them to a blender or food processor. Add honey and brandy and blend until a smooth puree is formed. Add water 1 tbsp at a time to thin as desired. Slice 2-3 additional peaches. Peel and thinly slice the fresh ginger. Add the puree, sliced peaches and ginger to a large pitcher. Pour the Vignoles and peach wines into the pitcher; mix until combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight to let the flavors combine. Just before serving add the club soda or sparkling wine. Serve over ice with sliced peaches for garnish.
Pro Tip: You can use frozen peaches instead of ice when serving to keep your sangria cold without watering it down.
