As the days get longer and the temperatures rise, there's nothing quite like sipping on a refreshing glass of sangria. This iconic

summertime drink is perfect for gatherings with friends and family, or simply for unwinding on a lazy afternoon. The beauty of sangria

lies in its versatility - you can personalize it to your taste preferences with a variety of fruits, wines, and spirits. Whether you prefer red,

white, or rosé, there's a sangria recipe out there for everyone. Here are a few of my favorite summer

sangria recipes that are sure to be a hit at your next soirée:

Combine the wine, brandy, orange liqueur, orange juice, and simple syrup in a large pitcher. Add the sliced fruit and refrigerate

for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together. Serve over ice and garnish with additional fruit, if desired.

White Peach Sangria
