Ingredients You’ll Need
The magic of Peach Sangria Popsicles comes from just a handful of vibrant, easy-to-find ingredients. Each component brings a luscious note to the mix—think juicy fruit, a pop of citrus, and the crispness of white wine all coming together in a frosty delight.
- White wine: Choose a bright, crisp white—like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio—for the freshest sangria flavor.
- Grand Marnier: An orange liqueur that adds depth and a citrus twist, making the sangria taste extra special.
- Peach juice: The star of the show! This infuses each pop with summery sweetness and beautiful color.
- Club soda: Adds a touch of bubbly lift and keeps the popsicles light and refreshing.
- Freshly squeezed lime juice: Just a splash brightens the whole mixture and balances the sweetness.
- Diced mixed fruit (peaches, strawberries, pineapple): These juicy gems add bursts of texture and extra flavor in every bite—feel free to use your favorites.
Variations
One of the best things about Peach Sangria Popsicles is how easy they are to tweak for your own tastes! Mix and match fruits, swap juices, and make it your signature treat—there are countless ways to reinvent this recipe.
- Non-Alcoholic Version: Skip the wine and orange liqueur—sub in white grape juice and a splash of orange juice for an alcohol-free, kid-friendly pop.
- Switch Up the Fruit: Try mango, raspberries, blueberries, or even cherries for a unique spin—use what’s ripe and beautiful.
- Ditch the Peach Juice: If peach juice isn’t handy, pineapple or apple juice blend in perfectly and add new layers of flavor.
- Make It More Citrusy: Add a bit more lime or swap for lemon juice if you love your pops with a tart punch.
How to Make Peach Sangria Popsicles
Step 1: Mix the Sangria Base
Start by grabbing a large pitcher or a liquid measuring cup with a spout. Pour in your white wine, Grand Marnier, peach juice, club soda, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Whisk it all together; you’ll see a lovely, golden liquid form with the promise of summer in every swirl.
Step 2: Fill Popsicle Molds with Fruit
Next, evenly distribute your diced fruit—peaches, strawberries, and pineapple—into each popsicle mold. Pack the fruit in just enough that every pop will hold plenty, but leave a little space for the yummy sangria liquid.
Step 3: Pour, Freeze, and Insert Sticks
Carefully pour your sangria mixture over the fruit until each mold is filled to the top (don’t overfill—leave a little room for expansion). Pop the molds in the freezer for 1 to 2 hours until the pops are softly set, then slide in the sticks. Return them to the freezer and let them chill at least 6 hours, or overnight, until totally solid.
Pro Tips for Making Peach Sangria Popsicles
- Choose Ripe, Sweet Fruit: The juicier and more flavorful your fruit, the better your popsicles taste and look—skip anything underripe or mealy!
- Alcohol-Free for Faster Freeze: If you’re swapping for non-alcoholic ingredients, your pops will set much quicker—perfect for last-minute desserts.
- Gentle Unmolding: To release the pops easily, dip the molds in warm water for a few seconds and they’ll slide right out—no broken sticks.
- Batch Prep for Parties: Double or triple the recipe for a crowd and make different fruit combos in each batch for a whole rainbow of popsicles.
How to Serve Peach Sangria Popsicles
Garnishes
Take things up a notch by serving your Peach Sangria Popsicles with extra fresh fruit slices, a quick dusting of lime zest, or even a sprig of mint tucked alongside. If you’re feeling fancy, dip just the tip of the popsicle in sugar for a crystalline sparkle—so fun!
Side Dishes
Pair your pops with a bright summer cheese board, salty nuts, or fresh pico de gallo for a sweet-and-savory happy hour spread. They’re also amazing as a dessert alongside light, crisp cookies or lemon bars at a picnic.
Creative Ways to Present
Try serving the pops inside glasses of cold prosecco for the ultimate adult float, or pile them into a big bowl of ice at your next backyard gathering for a playful, help-yourself display. Mini popsicles are perfect for cocktail parties—just use smaller molds!
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
Keep any leftover Peach Sangria Popsicles right in their molds, or transfer them to a freezer bag with parchment between layers. That way, they stay beautifully separate and don’t stick together, ready for whenever a craving hits.
Freezing
For best texture and freshest fruit flavor, enjoy your popsicles within 2-3 weeks. While they last longer in the freezer, the fruit can slowly get icy and the sangria flavors may start to mellow after a month.
Reheating
No reheating needed here! Just let the popsicle warm a minute at room temperature if it’s too hard to bite—or, for a boozy slush, pop one in a glass and let it melt into your next drink.
FAQs
-
Can I make Peach Sangria Popsicles without alcohol?
Absolutely! Just swap the white wine and Grand Marnier for a mix of white grape juice and orange juice. You’ll still get that sweet-tart sangria vibe, but safe for all ages.
-
How do I keep the fruit from sinking in the molds?
Chilling the fruit and sangria mixture before assembling helps suspend the fruit throughout the pop. If needed, freeze partially before inserting sticks to keep the fruit evenly distributed.
-
What other wines can I use for these popsicles?
Choose light, fruity whites like Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or even a dry rosé for a twist. Avoid anything oak-heavy or overly sweet for best balance.
-
Can I double or triple this recipe for a party?
Definitely! The mix scales up easily—just make sure you have enough molds. You can even prep different fruit combos so there’s a flavor for everyone at your gathering.

If you’re dreaming of a sweet, grown-up way to cool off, you’ve found your answer in these Peach Sangria Popsicles. I hope you’ll try them soon—whether you’re lounging by the pool or celebrating with friends. Cheers to summer vibes in every frosty, fruity bite!
