This was a hit! I halved the recipe but doubled the amount of peach schnapps and used mango, peach and thinly sliced starfruit. Very refreshing and delicious!

Holy cow! This recipe was amazing! Everyone raved about it. It is easy to adjust and use fruit you like. I will definitely do this again. I will most likely add more schnapps, cognac and sugar. In fact, I will probably double the amounts given. But it was still an awesome drink!

Big hit. I served it in a sun tea jug and added fruit to each glass. I used pinot grigio and white peaches instead of mango. The peaches were the best part!

Delicious..I made this for a Red Hat party and it was a huge success. I doubled the recipe and used (2) bottles of Gwerztraminer white wine (which is sweet) and (2) bottles of Savignon Blanc. Grand Manier for the cognac, Peach Schnapps, Lemon-Lime soda (added just before serving), and sliced strawberries, seedless green grapes, frozen peaches, sliced oranges for the fruit. Let everything sit in the fridge overnight except the Lemon-Lime soda which was added at the end. Served in a punchbowl, it was fantastic!! Thank you for the recipe.

This was a very, very good sangria - numerous compliments from our guests. The secret to any good sangria relies less on the ingredients than it does one very important factor - TIME! When I make any sangria I usually make it the night before the party (or first thing the morning of). The longer you allow the fruits and liquids sit the better flavor you have! (Stir occasionally!) Just remember your ginger ale (or whatever soda you add) is to be mixed in just before serving. Time is one ingredient any good sangria simply cannot do without!

I made this last night for a girls' night out at a friend's house. There were 8 of us drinking this and we ran out! It was ssssooo good! Everyone wanted the recipe! The fresh fruit at the store was hard as a rock, so I added one whole bag of frozen peaches and one whole bag of frozen mango. We ended up eating all the fruit when the sangria was gone. Thanks for a great recipe!

the wine was a little pulpy with the oranges. Next time I might use mango and peaches. I don't care for pulp. Other than that the taste was great!!

I made this for the first time and served it to my Bunko group. They LOVED it! I did make a few adjustments: used diet gingerale & Splenda; also added strawberries, red grapes, pineapple and kiwi. Defintely a hit & everyone wanted the recipe.

Excellent drink! I made this for a surprise 40th bbq and it was a hit. I added more fruit...limes, apples, raspberries (at the end). I also changed the cognac to brandy because it is a lot less expensive. Thanks for the recipe.

WOW! I made this for a June BBQ and it was the hit of the party! I didn't change a thing and when the punch bowl got low, we just tossed in more wine, schnapps and cognac. We used Menage a trois white table wine. The only change I might suggest is to quarter the orange slices so they'll fit into cups easily and I'll add other colorful fruit to the mix next time as other reviewers suggest. Very yummy on a hot summer day :)!

I made this for a party and it was a hit..but I made some changes. I only used two oranges - added frozen peaches and mangos and a few slices of apple. Also..I only used one bottle of white wine. It made a lot less sangria but the flavor was intense. I thought only the girls would be drinking it but the guys were diving in too...and if you run out of ginger ale it tastes great with sprite too

This is the perfect light summer drink! Served this at a cookout and it was gone in no time!! I followed the recipe for ingredients, but when I made the batch I added everything but the ginger ale, and refrigerated for about 5 hours. I added the ginger ale just before serving but I actually liked the flavor better as it sat for awhile. Next time I will just add all ingredients and then refrigerate. Delicious!! Like others said, this has quite a kick so drink slowly!

This Sangria was absolutely yummy! I liked it better than the red whine sangria (and I'm a red wine drinker). The mango is a really great complement! This one is going in my recipe box to make in the future!

This was my first time making Sangria - I wanted something lite and delicious - something perfect for an evening summertime party with the girls - well there wasn't a drop left of this. It was delicious! Even the people who didn't like Sangria drank this. Only thing I changed was the sugar - I made it superfine and I let it chill over night.

I tried this recipe on July 4th of this year. It wasn't as sweet or as flavorful as I had expected. It mostly tasted of peach shnapps and it needed way more sugar. I rec. adding triple sec if you make this recipe. I much prefer red wine sangria.
