How to Make Peach Strawberry Cherry Summer Sangria

Step 1: Prepare the Fruit

Start by slicing your fruits—this includes the lemon, peach, and strawberries—and halving the cherries after removing their pits. Taking this step allows each fruit’s flavor to infuse into the sangria beautifully.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients

In a large pitcher, add all your freshly sliced fruits. This colorful medley not only looks fantastic but also ensures that every glass is filled with delicious pieces of fruit.

Step 3: Add Juice

Pour both types of white grape juice over the prepared fruit. If you want your sangria to have a hint of sweetness, drizzle in some simple syrup. Mixing well now helps all those fruity flavors mingle together right from the start.

Step 4: Chill

Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours—overnight if you can wait! Chilling allows those lovely flavors to harmonize, creating a more flavorful drink when served.

Step 5: Add Soda Water

Right before serving, stir in the soda water for that refreshing fizz. This step adds an effervescent quality that makes each sip feel light and bubbly.
