Ingredients
Fruits
- 1 lemon (thinly sliced, peel on)
- 1 orange (thinly sliced, peel on)
- 1 apple (cored, thinly sliced, skin on)
- 1 cup assorted fresh berries
Liquids
- 1 cup grape juice
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups sparkling water (chilled)
Instructions
- Prepare the Fruits: Thinly slice the lemon, orange, and apple while keeping their peels on. Core the apple and slice it with the skin intact. Gather a cup of assorted fresh berries to add vibrant color and flavor.
- Infuse the Fruit: Place all the prepared sliced fruits and berries into a large pitcher. Pour in the grape juice and still water over the fruits. Stir gently and place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill and infuse for at least one hour. For deeper flavor, refrigerate overnight.
- Serve the Mocktail: When ready to serve, remove the pitcher from the fridge and top it up with the chilled sparkling water. Stir gently to combine. Serve immediately by pouring the sangria mocktail over ice in glasses for a refreshing, bubbly drink.

- Adjust the amount of sparkling water to your preference for fizziness.
- This recipe is naturally vegan, vegetarian, and low fat.
