Prep

1. Grab your cutting board, knife, and peaches.

2. Pit peaches, and cut into large slices. You can put these directly into the pitcher after they are cut.

   a. (Click here to see a more in-depth tutorial on how to pit a peach.)

3. Remove stems of strawberries and cut them into quarters. Toss them in the drink pitcher with the peaches.

4. Pick about 1/2cup of Basil Leaves. Try and pick as many of the smaller ones as possible because they are sweeter. Add the basil to the pitcher also.

Quick Assembly

1. With either a large spoon or a muddler (or even a potato masher) highly press the fruit and basil to slightly soften the fruit.

2. Next, add red wine, gin, and lemonade to the pitcher. Let sit overnight or at a minimum 4 hours.

3. Immediately before serving, add the seltzer water.

Fresh Peach and Strawberry Basil Sparkling Sangria.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup  Peaches (About Two Medium-Sized Peaches) 
• 1 Pint Strawberries 
• 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves  
• 1 Bottle of Sweet Red Wine (I recommend a Moscato) 
• 4-6 oz  of Lemon Gin  (I used Malfy Con Limone) 
• 1 Quart Lemonade
• 1 Liter Bottle of Strawberry Selzer Water 
• 1 Gallon Drink Pitcher

Instructions

1. 1. Prep fruit by pitting the peaches and cutting them into thick slices. Remove the tops of the strawberries and cut them into quarters. Add the fruit into the pitcher directly once cut. 
2. 2. Pick about a half cup of basil leaves. (Try to use as many small leaves as possible because they are sweeter) Add the leaves to the pitcher. 
3. 3. Using a large mixing spoon or muddler, lightly press on the fruit and basil to help it infuse with the wine. 
4. 4. Next, add red wine, the shots of lemon gin, and the lemonade.
5. 5. Let Sit overnight, or at a minimum of 4 hours.
6. 6. Immediately before serving, add seltzer water and ice if preferred.
7. *Tip – Pre-make lemon ice cubes ahead of time to add instead of plain ice. This will help keep the drink from tasting watered down as it sits out.
