Why It Works

Vanilla syrup adds a floral fragrance.
Sparkling water gives it just the slightest effervescence.

What's more summery than sangria? A sangria that tastes a bit like an Aperol spritz, with peaches and vanilla thrown in for good measure. Prep it in advance, then serve it as a refreshing party drink.
