It’s light, aromatic, and beautifully balanced, with just enough complexity to make it feel special without any extra effort. So, let’s dive into this Lavender Peach White 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!

Stone Fruit and Lavender Pairings

The floral notes of lavender beautifully complement the sweetness and juiciness of stone fruits such as apricots, peaches, nectarines, and plums.

Ingredients You’ll Need for Lavender Peach White Wine 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.
Use rosé wine: For a slightly different flavour profile.
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.

How to Choose the Best Wine for White Sangria

Use dry or semi-dry white wine.
Avoid overly sweet wines.
Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or similar styles work well.
