- Slice one lemon into ¼-inch thick wheels and set aside.
- Combine Rosé, strawberry liquor, peach nectar, vodka, and juice from one lemon juice in a glass pitcher. Shortly before serving, add the sliced strawberries, the sliced peaches, and the lemon wheels to the pitcher.
- Fill glasses with ice and add 5 ounces of Sangria plus some of the fruit from the pitcher. Garnish each glass with one of the whole strawberries you reserved.

***NOTE 1*** –
Sometimes fresh peaches aren’t completely ripe when purchased. So plan to purchase them a few days before you actually need to use them, and leave them sitting out to ripen. -
***NOTE 2*** –
I prefer to remove the skins from the peaches. To do this:
– Use a sharp paring knife to make an “X” at the base of each peach.
– Drop them into boiling water for about 30 seconds.
– Quickly remove them and drop into ice water for 1-2 minutes.
– Once cool enough to handle, slip off the skins. -
**NOTE 3*** –
Many recipes recommend adding the sliced fruit to the pitcher and chilling overnight so that the fruit is infused with the flavors. However I find that the strawberries and peaches can lose too much of their texture, and also change the consistency of the Sangria. For this Sangria I prefer adding the fruit within an hour before serving.
