A recipe for sweet tea sangria with fresh summer peaches & raspberries. The perfect summer cocktail that uses just a few ingredients!
Why You'll Love This Sweet Tea Sangria
Summertime perfection - I do love a great cocktail, especially in the summertime and this Sweet Tea Sangria is perfect for summer barbecues, brunches or showers.
Homemade sweet tea - I used my own homemade sweet tea recipe to make this iced tea sangria but your own recipe or store-bought sweet tea will work just fine.
Southern twist on a classic drink - This wine and tea cocktail is adds a nice southern spin to a classic sangria. It will quickly become of your favorites, as it already has mine.
Easy to make - Whenever you have some fresh summer fruit lying around, whip up a quick batch of sweet tea and mix it with a bottle of white wine. Toss in your favorite fruit then let it sit a few hours before enjoying - it really couldn't be easier.
Sweet Tea Sangria Ingredients
- Sweet tea: Any brand of sweet tea will work or you can make your own homemade sweet tea.
- White wine: The sweet tea will add the sweetness so opt for a dryer, crisp white wine such as a Pinot Grigio/Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Grenache Blanc or a dry Riesling such as a French Riesling. If you're unsure just go with the old adage, use what you like to drink, and a sangria doesn't need a fancy bottle of wine.
- Fresh Fruit: This recipe calls for raspberries and peaches but the beauty of sangria is that many fruit combinations will work. Nectarines, plums, apricots and strawberries would pair well with this recipe in any combination that you prefer.
- Fresh mint: To garnish.

Sweet Tea Sangria Tips & Variations
- Storing in the fridge before serving allows time for the fruit to infuse with the sweet tea.
- If you prefer a sweeter sangria try using a sweeter white wine such as a Moscato, Sauterne, Gewurztraminer or sweet Riesling.
- I used peaches and raspberries but the beauty of a sangria is that you can use a variety of fruit flavors so choose by preference, seasonality, or what's on hand.
- Sweet tea sangria can be stored for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.

What kind of sweet tea are you using. The power mix like you would just add to water or already made sweet tea
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Stacey, I wouldn't use a mix. Here's the sweet tea recipe I use: https://www.thewickednoodle.com/summer-sweet-tea/

I wanna make it.
Sarah says
I have 2 pitchers of this chilling in my refrigerator right now for game night tonight! I wish I had read the suggestion about not using chardonnay but I also added peach schnapps. So we'll see how it turns out!
Kristy Bernardo says
Hey Sarah! Let me know how it turned out! Cheers 🙂
Jay says
This looks great. I've been looking for a light dessert that incorporates raspberries and this looks like a winner. I use bon maman raspberry jam because I think it has the best raspberry flavor. I've tried alot of the sugar free varieties and found they don';t have the same tartness that you find with a good raspberry. So, I use bon maman or else reduce fresh raspberries with sugar if I have the time and the berries.
I'm, going to try this with a ganache topping. It looks really nice. I think the whipped cream and raspberry jam mixed with the chocolate cookies is a fantastic combo. I've done icebox cakes before and love them I think they set really well and the long set time is great for the flavor.

Hey Kristy, I know this is an old post, but I would love it if you would link it up to Tipsy Tuesday at Grey is the New Black!!
Kirsten says
Kristy,
This looks like a delicious summer sipper. Great for gatherings! I can see myself just nipping a glass while cooking dinner, a glass with dinner, a bit for after dinner . . . I like my fruity summer drinks!
Thanks!
Kristy Bernardo says
It is great for gatherings, you're so right! And it's light so it's perfect for summer.
Megan Marlowe says
I absolutely love sweet tea and sangria! So this is awesome!
Kristy Bernardo says
Thank you, Megan!
Joell says
Any thought on adding some sweet tea vodka or some peach schapps to this recipe?
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Joell, I haven't tried to add either because I love the recipe as-is. But you could certainly give it a shot! Maybe try adding just a small amount to one glass then adjust the ratio if you decide you like it.
Lindsey says
How many servings does this make? Hoping to make it for a party, it looks and sounds amazing!
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Lindsey, I'd say that it serves about 6-8 but you could easily double or triple it depending on the size of your party. I hope you have a great time!!
Courtney kale says
This looks great! Going to try this with your sweet tea recipe as well. What kind of white wine do you use?
Kristy Bernardo says
Hi Courtney! I normally just use whatever white I've got on hand which, for me, is usually a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot Grigio. But I think just about any would work (with the possible exception of a particularly smoky Chardonnay). Hope that helps and that you enjoy! 🙂

Evan @ Getinmymouf says
I'm a big fan of mixing sweet tea and fruit juices, so I don't know how I missed the opportunity for a Sweet Tea Sangria! This beverage is definitely happening in my house this weekend. (Especially since the DC metro area is supposed to have pleasant weather.)
the wicked noodle says
I'm a fan of that, too, Evan! And I'm also in the DC area - looking forward to the great weather this weekend!
