Description
A quick, dump-and-stir summer cocktail featuring fresh peaches, black iced tea, white wine, and spirits. Perfect for parties and gatherings with minimal prep time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 large fresh peaches (sliced into wedges) or 2 cans peaches in juice (drained)
- 4 cups black iced tea (brewed strong and cooled)
- 1 bottle (750ml) dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2–3 tablespoons simple syrup or sugar (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup vodka or white rum
- 1–2 cups sparkling water or club soda (for serving)
Instructions
- Brew black tea using twice the normal amount of tea bags. Steep for 5-7 minutes, remove bags, and cool completely to room temperature or chill in the fridge.
- Wash and slice fresh peaches into thin wedges, removing pits. If using canned peaches, drain well and slice into halves or quarters. Toss fruit into a large pitcher (6-8 cups capacity).
- Pour the cooled black tea over the peaches in the pitcher. Add orange juice and sugar (if using). Stir well until sugar is dissolved. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Add the white wine and vodka or rum to the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld (optional but recommended).
- To serve, fill glasses with fresh ice. Pour the sangria over the ice and top with a splash of club soda for fizz. Garnish with a peach slice or mint sprig.
Notes
Do not add ice to the main pitcher as it will dilute the drink; add ice to individual glasses instead. If using frozen peaches, they can be added directly to act as ice cubes. The recipe is naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. For a non-alcoholic version, double the tea and juice and skip the wine and spirits.
