Ingredients
Simple Syrup
Sangria
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- Bring sugar, water and a handful of fresh herbs to a simmer in a small pot on the stove, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Let cool either on the counter, or for an even more intense herb flavor, overnight in the fridge. You can also use honey simple syrup as an alternative.
Sangria Assembly
- Slice the peaches.
- Place peaches, wine, herbed simple syrup and a splash or two of Elderflower liquor (St. Germaine) in a pitcher or large mason jar.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. It will become more and more flavorful if left overnight or even for a couple days. Peaches may brown slightly, but will taste better and better.
- If serving to guests, strain out the browning peaches and replace with freshly sliced peaches and a handful of fresh herbs. Serve over ice.
Notes
- You can substitute the Elderflower liquor with another fruity or floral liqueur of your choice.
- The longer the sangria sits, the more flavorful it becomes—up to a couple of days in the refrigerator.
- For a non-alcoholic version, use sparkling grape juice and elderflower syrup instead.
