What Is A Peach Sangria?
Peach sangria is a delicious style of wine that uses fresh fruits. The history behind sangria is a long and interesting one. While this type of wine is frequently served in Mexico, its origins is in Europe, likely Spain and Portugal.
White and red sangria did not find their way in Mexico until the 1700s where the indigenous people in the land faced colonization. The Spanish came and took over many parts of Mexico and Latin America, introducing them to white and red grape wine.
In Spain and Portugal, they had climates and land where they could grow grapes and various fruits, like peaches and strawberries in abundance! This meant that they could ship the wines throughout the world easily since it was just as easy to make them!
What Is Sangria Wine?
The wine that sangria uses depends on the exact type. Some people prefer using red wine which gives sangria the color. Sangria has its origins in the word Sangre, which is the Spanish word for blood. The deep red wine color does resemble blood.
The thing about sangria wine is that it was special. This type of wine is called ‘spice’ because it is stored with various spices, herbs, and fruit to give the wine a new kick of flavor. Most of the time, the spiced wine would use fruits like grapes, berries, and apple slices to soak in the flavor.
The longer the fruits stay inside the mixture, especially in a dark room, the more alcoholic the drinks become. Since the alcohol in the wine comes from fruits, it only increases because of the fruit stored in the sangria wine.

Step By Step Instructions On How To Make Applebee’s Peach Sangria Recipe
Step 1: Chill the Wine
The best part about drinking an ice-cold and refreshing peach sangria is that the drink is usually chilled or over ice. The best way to start with this Applebee’s peach sangria recipe is by chilling the white wine inside of the fridge for an hour before using it.
Although it is tempting to place the wine in the freezer, it is easy to accidentally forget that the wine is there. If you want to place it in the freezer, try not to leave it for more than thirty minutes as the cold and hot temperatures can cause the glass to burst.
Step 2: Prepare the Fruit
The next most important part of this Applebee’s peach sangria recipe is the fruits! The tropical and sweet berries are a great addition to the cool and chill white wine. Prepare the fruit by slicing the peaches and strawberries into thin slices.
If you want to keep the fruit cool, first slice them, then add them to your freezer in a ziplock bag. About ten minutes before you are ready to serve this drink, take them out to defrost! This is a sweet snack that can soak in the flavors best when chilled.
Step 3: Stir the Ingredients Together
After the fruits and the wine are read, you can add all the ingredients to a large pitcher. In this pitcher, add ice and mix the fruits, wine, and liquor together. Serve with a sprinkle of sugar if you would like on top of the glasses. Store the rest of the fridge!
Tips and Tricks on Making a Delicious Peach Sangria
If you want a delicious peach sangria, there are a few differences you can make in the Applebee’s peach sangria recipe to make it the best! One thing you can focus on is making the drink in advance. For example, if you want to serve this to your friends, make it a week in advance and store it in a pitcher with a lid.
Why? The longer the fruits stay in the peach sangria, the more flavor they pour out into the drink. It also gives the fruits time to soak in the wine! Don’t worry, the fruits won’t go bad either since they are in alcohol!
If you want to use red wine, you can! The only reason I choose to use white wine for peach sangria is so that the peach color can be seen. However, if you want a more intense red wine then it will be a bit more bitter!
