Directions
Get ready to whip up your Forbidden Fruit Sangria:
- In a large pitcher, combine the white wine, peach schnapps, and pineapple juice.
- Toss in the sliced peaches, strawberries, and green grapes.
- Let your mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Just before serving, top it off with club soda for that essential fizz.
How to serve Forbidden Fruit Sangria
To serve, pour your sangria into elegant glasses filled with ice. Garnishing with a sprig of mint or a slice of fresh peach can make for a beautiful presentation. Additionally, pairing it with light appetizers such as cheese boards or fresh fruit platters complements its fruity palette nicely and adds to the delightful summer vibe.
How to store
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers, storing your Forbidden Fruit Sangria is pretty simple. Just cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator. It’s important to note, however, that the club soda will lose its fizz over time, so it’s best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it longer, you might want to separate the fruit and liquids, saving the soda until you’re ready to serve.
Tips to make
- Chill Your Ingredients: For the best flavor experience, make sure your wine and juices are chilled before combining.
- Adjust Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter sangria, opt for a sweeter white wine or a splash more peach schnapps!
- Use Seasonal Fruits: Don’t hesitate to swap in seasonal fruits like berries or cherries depending on what’s fresh and available.

Get creative with your Forbidden Fruit Sangria! Consider trying:
- Spicy Twist: Add a hint of jalapeño for a spicy kick.
