Late Summer Stone Fruit & Fresh Herb Sangria

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This late summer stone fruit & fresh herb sangria is extra special because it uses four types of stone fruits in two different ways. A portion of the plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots are run through a juicer to extract all of their sweet nectar while the others are sliced so that they can elegantly float about in your glass, adding a touch of traditional sangria style. Fresh basil and rosemary sprigs are added to balance bright and earthy notes, and a dry white wine is poured over top to transform the drink from juice to cocktail.

Late Summer Stone Fruit Sangria

First bit of news

Summer and the land of working on Blissful Basil 12-14 hours a day, five work days a week is officially drawing to a close in my world. Another school year has begun, and I'm trying to remember how I balanced my full-time career with my full-time blogging life just a few short months ago.

Regardless of how much added time, effort, and energy that blogging requires on top of my daytime job, I've never been crazier about it. It's an honor, a passion, and a love that infuses my life with so much fulfillment and joy. The most exciting and awesome part? Connecting with people I never would have otherwise met in my life. I know I've said this before, but thank you from the very bottom of my heart for reading, sharing, and reaching out; it's what makes my blogging world go round.

Second bit of news

I made an animated GIF! Not sure if this is newsworthy but it's my first one, so I'm feeling all fancy over here. Check it out...

Late Summer Stone Fruit Sangria

Perhaps not the most perfect photo quality, but it's a representative demonstration of just how refreshing this beverage will look as it fills your glass and enlightens your senses in a let's-round-out-summer kind of way.

This late summer sangria is extra special because it uses four types of stone fruits in two different ways. A portion of the plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots are run through a juicer to extract all of their sweet nectar -- pause, I've always wanted to say "sweet nectar" -- and the other half are sliced so that they can elegantly float around your glass, adding a touch of traditional-sangria style. Fresh basil and rosemary sprigs are added to balance bright and earthy notes, and then a dry white wine is poured over top to transform the drink from juice to cocktail.

The result is a pretty, simple, and refreshing end-of-summer cocktail or mocktail (sparkling water works wonders in place of the wine). Did I mention it's AGIF-worthy?

      Thanks so much, Abby! I finally purchased a tripod in early July, and it's been such a huge help for a variety of reasons. I used to have so many "pouring bloopers" because I would hold the camera in one hand and pour with the other (often directly onto the floor). It's also great for low-lighting shots, although I haven't played around with too many of those yet. Definitely recommend investing in one!

    Your GIF is beautiful! I still have't jumped on the bandwagon - technology and me aren't really friends sometimes. Love this sangria. Can't wait to try it!
