Non-Alcoholic Sangria
A vibrant and fruity alcohol-free version of the classic Spanish punch, Non-Alcoholic Sangria is a refreshing blend of various fruit juices, fresh fruit slices, and a splash of sparkling water, offering a delightful balance of sweet, tangy, and bubbly notes.
Prepare fruit
Thinly slice 0.5 medium orange and 0.25 medium apple. Have 3-4 berries ready. These fruits will infuse flavor and add visual appeal.
💡 Tips:
- •Use firm fruits like apples and oranges that hold their shape well. Wash all fruits thoroughly before slicing.
Combine juices and fruit
In a pitcher or large glass, combine 0.5 cup (120 ml) chilled cranberry juice, 0.25 cup (60 ml) chilled orange juice, and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh lemon juice. Add the sliced orange, apple, and berries.
💡 Tips:
- •For a deeper red color, use a darker grape juice. Adjust lemon juice for desired tartness.
Chill to infuse flavors
Stir the mixture gently. Cover the pitcher/glass and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the fruit flavors to meld with the juices. A longer chill (up to 2 hours) will deepen the flavor.
💡 Tips:
- •This chilling step is crucial for the flavors to develop and infuse properly, mimicking traditional sangria.
Serve and add fizz
Fill a serving glass with 1 serving of ice. Pour the chilled non-alcoholic sangria mixture into the glass. Top with 0.25 cup (60 ml) chilled sparkling water or club soda for effervescence. Stir gently.
💡 Tips:
- •Add the sparkling water just before serving to maintain its fizziness. Adjust the amount of sparkling water for your preferred level of fizz.
Garnish and enjoy
Garnish with 1 fresh orange slice, if desired. Serve immediately.
💡 Tips:
- •The fresh fruit garnish enhances the festive look.
- 💡Experiment with different fruit combinations like sliced peaches, grapes, or kiwi.
- 💡For an extra layer of flavor, add a small piece of cinnamon stick or a few cloves to the chilling mixture.
- 💡You can prepare a larger batch of the juice and fruit base ahead of time and keep it refrigerated, adding sparkling water only when serving individual portions.
- 💡For a 'white' non-alcoholic sangria, use white grape juice, apple juice, and lighter fruits like green apples and pears.
