White Peach Sangria

I know what you're thinking.

Peaches are not exactly a January fruit.

So why am I trying to force-feed you peaches when they are clearly not in season?

Because we're drinking our peaches.  That's why.  And drinking peaches never goes out of season.

When you live in the middle of no where, the winter can get somewhat hard to handle.  Day in and day out, you spend your days inside because it's too cold to go outside and the sun never seems to shine enough to keep you happy.

So, on my latest trip outside of my house and into civilization, I chose to forget the frigid temperatures and settle into a white peach sangria.  The summer fruit and white wine over ice was refreshing and happy-inducing.  It almost keeps the winter away when you're sipping a summer cocktail.

The only thing that could top a restaurant sangria is a homemade sangria.  Obviously.  And, it's way cheaper, too.  And, the idea of cranking up the thermostat, throwing on some shorts and flip flops and tossing back a couple sangria while the snow pounds on the siding of the house is so inviting.

So, for everyone who lives in a snow-covered tundra, this sangria is for you!
