Equipment

Method
 

  1. Slice the orange and lemon into thin rounds, and peel and slice the peach into wedges. Place all the sliced fruit into a large pitcher.
  2. Gently tear or rip the mint leaves and add them to the pitcher, releasing their aromatic oils.
  3. Pour the chilled white wine over the fruit and mint, filling the pitcher about three-quarters full.
  4. Add the honey or simple syrup and the optional splash of Grand Marnier or Cointreau to the mixture, then stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  5. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the fruit to infuse and the flavors to meld beautifully.
  6. Just before serving, add plenty of ice cubes to the pitcher to cool the drink thoroughly and slightly dilute it, balancing the flavors.
  7. Give the sangria a gentle stir, then ladle into glasses, ensuring each glass gets a generous amount of fruit and mint leaves for a colorful, aromatic presentation.

Notes

Feel free to customize the fruit based on seasonal availability, and adjust the sweetness to suit your taste. For a less boozy version, reduce or skip the liqueur. This sangria pairs beautifully with summery dishes or as a refreshing party drink.
