The Best Sangria

I have been making this sangria recipe for about 4 years now with excellent results. It is very refreshing and a crowd-pleaser. Excellent for the start of football season when it is still warm outside (here in Florida it is warm until after Halloween...).

Ingredients:
6 peaches, plums or nectarines, or your favorite combination of stone fruits, halved, pitted and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 cups peach nectar
1/4 cup orange liqueur, such as Cointreau
1 bottle dry Spanish white wine (white Rioja) or Sauvignon Blanc
2 cups club soda, or more, to taste
Ice cubes for serving

Directions:
In a large pitcher, combine the fruit, peach nectar, orange liqueur and wine. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours. Stir in the club soda and ladle the sangria into ice-filled glasses. Serve immediately. Serves 6 to 8.
