common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of wine for this sangria?
Yes, you can use any dry or semi-dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, or Chardonnay.
What can I use instead of orange liqueur?
You can substitute orange liqueur with brandy, cognac, or a non-alcoholic orange syrup for a different taste.
How long should I freeze the grapes?

Can I add other fruits to this sangria?
Yes, you can add fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or apples.
Is it necessary to peel the peaches?

Can I make this sangria non-alcoholic?
Yes, replace the wine and orange liqueur with white grape juice and additional fruit juices or soda.
How long can I store this sangria in the refrigerator?
The sangria can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours. The fruit may start to lose its texture after that.
What is the purpose of adding frozen grapes?

Can I prepare this sangria in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the sangria and store it in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight to enhance the flavors. Any longer than that and the fruit will start to break down and become mushy.
Can I use canned or frozen peaches?
