I guess everyone,
today, is familiar with the popular and fruity Spanish Summer drink called
Sangria.
There are easily hundreds of recipes for making Sangria, and
the only unique thing about this one, is that it has a flavor that is more “Peachy”
than most.
When we make it, it is usually during the time of year that
fresh Peaches are on sale everywhere, and we always try to take advantage of
the cheap prices. Of course, today, with
fruits and vegetables being shipped globally, you are able to get fresh Peaches
pretty much year round.
Anyway, this recipe tastes great, and I recommend that you make
it a day ahead of time to allow all of the flavors to blend together.
It is easy to make and tastes great.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup Peach
Schnapps
2 bottles White
Wine, Dry, (750-ml.bottles),
1/3 cup Vodka
2 tbs. Sugar
1 large Lemon,
sliced thin
1 large Navel
Orange, quartered and sliced
2 large Peaches,
ripe, peeled and sliced
1 can Lemon/Lime
Soda (12-oz.)
DIRECTIONS:
1.
Combine the Vodka, Schnapps and Sugar In a large
Pitcher, and stir until the Sugar is dissolved.
2.
Add the remaining ingredients, except for the
Soda.
3.
Stir together well, then cover, and place in the
Fridge overnight, until ready to serve.
4.
When ready to serve, add the Soda, stir together
well, and pour into tall glass’ that are filled with ice cubes.
5.
Serve Cold.
NOTE: The
lemon/lime Soda adds very little to the overall flavor of this drink, but it
does give it a little bubbly.
NOTE: If you want
a drink that has a little less alcohol, try only using only 1 bottle of Wine
instead of 2, and add another Peach, 1
cup of water, then when you add the Soda, use 2 cans instead of 1.
NOTE: You can easily add your other favorite fruits to this drink,and change the flavor to exactly what you want. I recommend, more Oranges, more Lemon, Apples (sliced), Kiwi Fruit, (sliced), Pear (sliced), just to name a few.
