- Prep the fruit slices. Slice the strawberries and peaches. Pit the cherries.
- Assemble. In a pitcher, place all the ingredients and stir.
- Serve. You can let the punch chill for another hour if you want it cold. Otherwise, serve.
What wine is best for Peach Sangria?
In all circumstances, any kind of wine will work well for this drink. I realize that the trick usually is to find that sweet balance between the strong fruity flavor and the strong taste of wine.

How to Store:
I find that this recipe really does not spoil quite fast. They can last for a couple of days even when simply placed inside the fridge.
However, I suggest keeping the punch inside mason jars or other containers with a tight lock before placing them inside the fridge. This way, you can readily drink a chilled punch on the go.
Recipe Tips:
- You can actually add limes and lemon to make the punch fruitier. However, try to keep a balance between strong and fruity taste.
- Adding brandy makes the sangria effortlessly finer.
- I have also discovered that dropping a dash of vanilla not only makes the punch smell more fragrant, but its sweetness also blends well with the citrus and wine.
