Alfresco Friday - Peach Sangria
Welcome to another glorious Friday!
I hope the sun is shining and you have the most wonderful plans for your weekend. Alfresco Friday is my celebration of the weekend. Usually our family will take advantage of the beautiful mild weather this time of year and have a picnic or BBQ at the beach, a park or a friend’s house. In the spirit of celebrating the weekend I have made a Peach Sangria to share with my lovely readers.
Oh and a quick tip, the wine you use doesn't need to be expensive but it does need to be one that you like. The flavour will come through in the punch so you want a pleasant drinkable wine, not an expensive one. At Woolworths they have cleanskin dry whites available for under $3, this is what I used, and it was delicious.
Ingredients:
2 peaches sliced
2 nectarines sliced
750ml bottle of dry white wine
200ml Bacardi Rum
400ml apricot nectar
400ml lemonade (diet)
Method:
Place the slice fruit into a glass bowl with the Bacardi, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for between 2 and 12 hours. This is a good job to do before work.
To make the sangria you will need two jugs. Place half the fruit in each jug. Add half of the remaining ingredients to each jug and top with ice. Check the flavour and add more apricot nectar or lemonade to taste.
I could have give the recipe for 1 jug of sangria but that
really wouldn’t be as much fun, and I do try and look after my readers. Feel free to halve the recipe if you are limiting your alcohol intake.
Have a happy weekend.

What a wonderful summer drink, perfect for the silly season which is basically here.
Oh my gorgeous girl! What did you have... boy or girl, weight, name and birth detail please my sweetheart. (Nevermind the cocktail.. tell us about your new bub)
Hope you had a great weekend! I'm sure it was with a glass of this! :P
YAY for summer cocktails! I think Mum would love this. She looooves her alky and summer fruits like these haha. PERFECT! Thanks, Julie! =D
Looks and sounds fantastic. Summer is here and I don't mind the odd drink such as this. Will get some peaches at the fruit shop next trip and give this beauty a go. Thanks!
LOL Winston! I think I would like your mother a lot! There is nothing better than fruit and alcohol. I also made this by pureeing the fruit with ice first and then combining the remaining ingredients YUM!

Have Your Say
I wish I had you for my mum when I was 5!
That cake would have been the talk of the town for the rest of the year - fantastic job.
A lot of your blogs will be interactively design and style that visitor share data to read your blog.
Thank you so much, it is going to be a wonderful surprise for my Mum, I wish everyone a great day with your own special people, those who helped you become who you are today.
Mum definitely deserves the hamper, because she is an amazing woman that has brought up 3 kids through tough times. She is the best mum a son could ask for.
She's had it tough, working hard
deserving much more than just a card
So let's raise a glass and toast her true
The best person in the world - Mum, that's you!
Thanks for the info on Rasa Malaysia's book. I used to visit her website for recipes but some time ago, igot a new PC and forgot to bookmark it!
You're too modest Julie! You did a great job with the cake! :D
Yellow strawberries and cream is just perfect for mum as a reward for putting up with two kids who were a pain in the bum.
I would have loved to have seen those martini glasses! Hope Miss A had a lovely time celebrating turning 5 :D
It shouldn't. It should go to me as whilst trying to make sure my mum, step-mum, MIL, Step-MIL, 3 x Grandmas are spoilt on Mother's Day, I always seem to get forgotten!
My poor old mum is battling to care for my step dad who has advanced Parkinsons. My real dad who has had a stroke still expects her to be there for him, my bro is going bankrupt and she lives two states away from her only gransdon. Her life has little joy- JUst wish for one thing nice to happen to her. We all love our mums, good luck to you all!
Perfect place to relax and forget about all the troubles we have in the city and just unwind ~ can't wait to go to somewhere like this hehe
