virgin sangria recipe - featured image

A quick and easy 5-ingredient alcohol-free sangria bursting with fresh berries, citrus, and sparkling soda, perfect for summer celebrations and inclusive for all ages.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup red grapes, halved
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups white grape juice (100% juice)
  • 1 cup lemonade
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups club soda or sparkling water
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Rinse all berries and grapes thoroughly under cold water. Slice the strawberries into thin pieces and halve the grapes.
  2. Place the red grapes, blueberries, and sliced strawberries in a large pitcher. Gently muddle the fruit with a muddler or wooden spoon to release their juices without crushing them completely.
  3. Pour in 2 cups of white grape juice and 1 cup of lemonade. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Add about 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice to the pitcher and stir.
  5. Chill the sangria in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. For a quicker chill, refrigerate for 15 minutes with plenty of ice cubes.
  6. Just before serving, stir in 1 to 1 1/2 cups of club soda or sparkling water for fizz.
  7. Add ice cubes to the pitcher or individual glasses to keep the drink chilled without diluting it too quickly.
  8. Pour into glasses, ensuring each glass gets a good mix of berries and juice. Garnish with whole berries or a lemon wheel if desired.

Notes

Gently muddle the fruit to release juices without crushing completely to avoid cloudiness. Add sparkling water just before serving to keep fizz lively. For less sweetness, use unsweetened sparkling water and reduce lemonade or substitute with fresh lemon juice diluted with water. Prepare ahead by chilling before adding soda and ice. Add honey or agave syrup if sangria tastes too tart.
