Sparkling Peach and Strawberry Sangria

This easy Sparkling Peach and Strawberry Sangria was a hit at our barbecue this weekend!  

This was an incredible July 4th for us!  We were able to spend the whole day together as a family with all of the electronics put away – for the most part….  (I was the culprit taking pictures with my phone – but hey I was capturing memories, doesn’t that count for something??)

We started the night off with a movie night the day before when I got home from work.  I am excited to say I almost made it through the whole movie without falling asleep!  I usually fall into a deep slumber fifteen minutes into the movie…  But this time, I made it up until the last 30 minutes…  Not, to worry, we watched the rest of the movie together during breakfast the next day.  And I was forgiven…

Then, we went out and had lunch at our local Mexican Restaurant, before we got ready for a small barbecue we were having later.  When it came to prepping – we all pitched in and prepped the food and no one got hurt during the process.  That’s a win for us 🙂

This menu for this get-together had to have a cocktail to woo the people.  I didn’t want to just serve a bottle of wine but, I didn’t want to buy too many ingredients, so I used what we had in the fridge.  My hubby likes to juice fruits, so I had the strawberries and peaches he hadn’t used yet.  Plus I had a bottle of white wine – I always keep a stash for cooking.  Throw in some peach rum and peach schnapps I had from some other recipes, and this drink was ready.  I pretty much only had to purchase the champagne to give the drink some fizz…

This sangria was a hit and not a drop was left.  The perfect end to the evening while we watched fireworks sipping on sangria!

Making this cocktail was effortless.  Only manual labor involved – cutting the fruit.  This took only a few minutes to make.  Cheers!
