Step 1:

Choose a large glass pitcher that can hold at least 2 quarts. Ensure it has enough room for all ingredients plus the sparkling water you'll add later.

Step 2:

Wash and prep all fresh fruits. Slice strawberries, oranges, and lemons into thin, even rounds. Leave raspberries and blueberries whole. Dice pineapple into bite-sized chunks if using.

Step 3:

Pour the white wine, peach schnapps, and triple sec into the pitcher. Stir gently to combine.

Step 4:

Add the orange juice (start with 1 cup and adjust based on how fruity you prefer your sangria). Stir well.

Step 5:

Add honey or simple syrup to sweeten. Start with 2 tablespoons, stir until completely dissolved, then taste and add more if desired.

Step 6:

Add all the prepared fresh fruits to the pitcher. Gently stir to distribute the fruit throughout the sangria. Ensure some fruits are submerged for maximum flavor infusion.

Step 7:

Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. For best results, chill overnight (up to 24 hours) to allow flavors to fully meld and develop.

Step 8:

Just before serving, add 1-2 cups of club soda or sparkling water for fizz. Stir gently to combine without losing carbonation.

Step 9:

Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour sangria over ice, ensuring each glass gets a good mix of fruit. Garnish with fresh fruit slices or mint sprigs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
