Non-Alcoholic Sangria Recipe
A sophisticated mocktail that reimagines Spanish sangria without alcohol. Premium non-alcoholic red wine forms the base, infused with fresh orange, lemon, and green apple. The fruit is gently muddled to release essential oils before a 3-4 hour cold infusion marries the flavors. Optional sparkling water adds effervescence, while customizable sweeteners balance the profile. The result is a visually stunning, complexly flavored beverage that delivers authentic sangria character without alcohol—perfect for gatherings, suitable for all guests, and infinitely adaptable with seasonal fruits and flavor variations.
Ingredients
- 1 orange sliced into rings
- 1 lemon sliced into rings
- 1 green apple sliced into thin wedges
- 2-3 tablespoons maple syrup or sweetener of choice adjust to taste
- ⅔ cup 150ml fresh orange juice (optional but recommended)
- 1 bottle 750ml alcohol-free red wine (recommended: Edenvale Premium Reserve Pinot Noir)
- 2 cups 500ml sparkling beverage of choice (optional)
- Ice cubes for serving
- Additional fruit for garnish berries, pomegranate seeds, etc.
Instructions
- Place sliced oranges, lemons, green apple wedges, and your sweetener of choice in a large glass pitcher.
- Gently press the fruit with a wooden spoon or muddler to release some of the juices without crushing the fruit completely.
- Pour in the non-alcoholic red wine and orange juice, then stir everything together carefully.
- Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, though 3-4 hours is ideal for the best flavor.
- When ready to serve, taste and add more sweetener if needed, then stir in your sparkling beverage if using. Pour into ice-filled glasses, making sure each glass gets some of the fruit, and garnish with fresh fruit slices if desired.
