COOL SUMMER PEACH AND BASIL SANGRIA

COOL SUMMER PEACH AND BASIL SANGRIA

A delish sangria. I just had something similar in a restaurant and loved.

Summer Peach and Basil Sangria is the ultimate in summer refreshment, and this is the drink you’ll want to have chilling in the backyard all season long.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bottle Pinot Grigio or Sauvingon Blanc wine
• 2/3 cup brandy, or peach brandy
• 1/2 cup basil simple syrup (optional)
• 2 -3 ripe peaches, cut in slices
• basil leaves
• 2 cups peach seltzer water
• basil simple syrup
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• a handful of fresh basil leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

1. To make the basil simple syrup, combine the water and sugar in a saucepan and stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the basil leaves and crush them with the back of a spoon to release their flavor. Bring the pan to a boil, and then turn off the heat and let cool completely in the pan. Then strain the syrup through a fine mesh seive into a glass jar. Refrigerate until needed.
