What Makes Applebees White Peach Sangria So Good?
When the weather is pushing the mercury higher, and you want to kick back and relax, there isn’t a better drink to do it with than a glass of ice-cold White Peach Sangria.
This version of a White Peach Sangria from Applebee’s blends Moscato wine, peach schnapps, and fruit juices with a touch of lemon-lime soda. It’s so simple to mix and easy to drink that you will want to make it your summer go-to alcoholic beverage.
Why You Should Try Making Peach Sangria a Home
The magic behind this White Peach Sangria lies in its perfect balance of flavors. The Moscato wine provides just enough acidity to cut through the sweetness of the peach schnapps, while the peach nectar adds authentic fruit flavor without the seasonal limitations of fresh peaches. The splash of lemon-lime soda creates a refreshing effervescence that makes each sip irresistibly crisp.
White Peach Sangria Ingredients
For Single Serving:
- Moscato wine – Provides the wine base with natural sweetness and light body
- Peach schnapps – Delivers the signature peach flavor and additional sweetness
- Peach nectar – Adds authentic peach taste and smooth texture
- Pineapple juice – Contributes tropical notes and natural acidity
- Lemon-lime soda – Creates refreshing fizz and balances sweetness
- Ice cubes – Essential for proper dilution and temperature
- Lime wedge – Provides citrus garnish and aromatic oils
- Orange wedge – Adds visual appeal and complementary citrus notes
- Maraschino cherry – Classic garnish for color and sweetness
Ingredient Notes
Barefoot Moscato wine is an inexpensive Moscato that is great in this mixed drink, but there are other options:
- Yellow Tail Moscato is from Australia and has bright flavors and a light body. The wine is sweet, yet not cloying, and it’s a good option and a great value, especially if you can find the 1.5 L bottles.
- Saracco Moscato D’Asti is a quality Italian wine that is a little more expensive than the others on this list, but it is worth it for its enjoyable stone fruits, honey, and herbal flavors.
- Risata Moscato D’Asti is another white Moscato from Italy. Its notes include citrus, florals, honey, and nectarine. It is sweet but light on the palate.Â
You can also use a bottle of white wine of your preference. Sutter Home White Zinfandel wine is also another sweet wine you can use instead of Moscato.
The peach schnapps for this Applebee’s white peach sangria recipe don’t have to be top-of-the-line, but don’t go for the cheapest bottle in the store. DeKuyper Peachtree Schnapps (not the Pucker Peach from the same brand) is an excellent option.Â
Fresh peach nectar is pretty pricey, but you can save a lot of money using peach nectar from a concentrate, and it won’t affect the quality of this recipe. Kern’s Peach Nectar in a Tetra Pak is of good value.Â
Sprite, 7-Up, and Sierra Mist are good choices for the lemon-lime beverage.
