Tips
- For a twist, try adding a splash of cranberry juice or club soda for an extra layer of flavor.
- You can replace nectarines with other stone fruits like peaches or plums, or even mix in some berries for additional color and sweetness.
- If you prefer a less sweet sangria, reduce the amount of simple syrup or use a dry white wine.
