Ingredients

Scale

Juices

  • 3 cups cranberry juice
  • 1 cup orange juice

Fruits

  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced
  • 1/3 cup frozen cranberries

Other Ingredients

  • 1 can (12 ounces) sparkling water
  • Ice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pitcher: Fill your pitcher halfway with ice, then arrange slices of oranges and apples against the inside walls of the pitcher. Use your hands to help the fruit slices adhere to the sides for an attractive presentation.
  2. Add frozen cranberries: Scatter the frozen cranberries evenly on top of the ice and fruit slices.
  3. Pour juices: Pour in the cranberry juice and orange juice over the fruit and ice in the pitcher.
  4. Mix and chill: Stir all the ingredients gently together to combine the flavors. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld perfectly.
  5. Add sparkling water: Just before serving, pour in the can of sparkling water to add a refreshing fizz to the sangria.
  6. Serve: Fill glasses with ice and pour the mocktail over the ice, ensuring each glass has some fruit slices for taste and appearance.
  7. Garnish: If desired, garnish each glass with additional orange slices or a few more cranberries to enhance the visual appeal.

Notes

  • This orange cranberry sangria mocktail recipe embodies festive flavors in a non-alcoholic twist on a classic sangria, perfect for holiday and family gatherings.
  • For best flavor, chill the sangria for at least one hour before serving to allow fruit and juices to blend.
  • You can substitute sparkling water with club soda or lemon-lime soda if preferred for a slightly different taste.
  • To make it more festive, consider adding a cinnamon stick or fresh rosemary sprig as a garnish.
