Spring Forward Sangia

I’m celebrating an extra hour of sun with Daylights Savings and the Evan Williams Spring Forward Sangria! This delightful sangria features smooth Evan Williams Peach bourbon that boasts the natural sweetness of Georgia peaches.

Mixing in a medley of seasonal fruits is key here. I used strawberries, peaches and grapefruit. Light and refreshing rosé wine complements the fresh fruit and rich bourbon. A hint of fresh mint brightens up the sangria, making this the perfect sangria to celebrate the transition into spring!

About Evan Williams

Steeped in history and Southern charm, Evan Williams is the original Kentucky bourbon, crafting its signature spirit since 1783. Their dedication to quality and time-honored traditions is evident in every bottle, including the Evan Williams Peach in this Spring Forward Sangria.

This delightful expression takes their classic bourbon and infuses it with the sweetness of ripe Georgia peaches, resulting in a perfectly balanced and smooth spirit.

Ingredients for Spring Forward Sangia

• Evan Williams Peach: A perfectly smooth bourbon with the added sweetness of Georgia peaches.
• Sliced Seasonal Fruit: Choose a vibrant mix of fresh fruits like strawberries, peaches, and grapefruit for a burst of color and juicy goodness.
• Mint Sprig: Fresh mint adds a touch of invigorating coolness.
• Rosé Wine: Opt for a light and crisp rosé to balance the richness of the bourbon. I like Cote des Roses Rosé.

Crafting the Spring Forward Sangria is as easy as sipping it! Start by adding sliced fruit and Evan Williams Peach to a stemless wine glass. With the back of a spoon, muddle them together to release the fruits’ flavors.

Next, add ice, a sprig of mint, and pour in the rosé wine. Stir gently to combine. Top it off with an edible flower for Insta-worthy sips!
