Hello, folks! I hope you are enjoying this weekend, which is also a long weekend for many in Canada and the US. Wishing you an amazing Labour Day, if you celebrate!

And what’s the best way to celebrate Labour Day and the unofficial end of summer? Of course, with a cocktail (or a few). Even better if it’s a sangria. So, let’s dive into this refreshing white wine sangria with peaches and lavender.

Stone Fruit and Lavender Pairings

You probably already know that lavender pairs with stone fruit flavours. This includes baked goods like scones or cakes, as well as drinks and savoury dishes like salads. The floral notes of lavender beautifully complement the sweetness and juiciness of stone fruits such as apricots, peaches, nectarines, and plums.

So, today we are diving into a luscious combination of lavender and peaches in this refreshing sangria.

What is Sangria?

Sangria is a vibrant alcoholic beverage from Spain and Portugal. It traditionally blends red wine, chopped fruit, and various spirits. Oranges, lemons, and apples are classic additions, but the choice of fruit is limitless. Classic sangria often features brandy or orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec, Cointreau, or Grand Marnier. However, you can experiment with different spirits, especially flavored liqueurs, to create unique twists.

A Sangria is a light (yet with a boozy kick, thanks to the mixing of different alcohols) and refreshing drink. It is known for its complexity and the combination of sweet and tart notes. That’s why it is a perfect summer cocktail!

White White Sangria with Lavender and Peaches

Luscious, sweet peaches meet a pleasant, delicate botanical aroma of lavender in this white wine sangria. The fruity, floral profile, with a hint of honey, is accentuated by a generous splash of peach liqueur. Refreshing and delightful, this White Sangria with Lavender and Peaches is a perfect cocktail to celebrate the end of summer!

And it’s a breeze to make, too. That’s so easy. Simply combine the wine, peach liqueur, lavender syrup, and sliced fruit in a pitcher. Try adjusting the flavor by adding more lavender syrup or apricot liqueur. Refrigerate for 30-60 minutes and enjoy. I would not recommend making this version too far in advance, as the fruit will start to get mushy after two hours or even earlier, depending on its ripeness.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Lavender Peach White Sangria

To make this fun Apricot Lavender Sangria recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

White wine – the base spirit of this sangria. I used Pinot Grigio, but any good-quality wine of your choice will work just as well. I recommend going with a light, medium-dry, or semi-sweet wine, but that’s up to you. A rosé can be a nice substitution, too.
Peach liqueur or brandy – the flavour modifier, and also adds sweetness.
Lavender Simple Syrup – adds subtle floral aroma. Because peach liqueur is already quite sweet, you can reduce the sweetness by adding less sugar to the syrup. Normally, you require a ratio of 1:1, i.e., one cup of water to one cup of sugar; however, you can reduce the sugar to half for this recipe.
Peaches – don’t use frozen fruit for this recipe, as it will look too mushy. You can also add apricots, pears, cherries, etc.
Ice cubes – for serving.
Club soda or sparkling water – an optional ingredient if you prefer a lighter sangria.

Possible Additions

Although this white wine sangria with lavender and peaches is already tasty, you can make it even more exciting:

Lemon or orange – add for extra freshness; besides, citrus fruits go wonderfully with lavender.
Mint – add some fresh mint leaves for an extra layer of flavour.
Use other liqueurs, such as apricot brandy or triple sec, as a substitute for peach liqueur.
Add a little honey for added sweetness. Or – use honey to make lavender syrup.
