Scale
Juices and Liquids
- 2 cups no-sugar-added pomegranate juice (or cranberry juice)
- 3 ½ cups apple juice
- 4 cups cold ginger ale (or ginger beer, sprite, or sparkling water)
Fruits and Garnishes
- 1 small orange, cut into thin pieces
- 1 lemon, cut into pieces
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup pomegranate arils (or a handful of fresh cranberries)
Instructions
- Combine Juices and Fruit: Pour the pomegranate juice and apple juice into a large pitcher. Add the sliced orange, lemon pieces, apple pieces, and pomegranate arils. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the sangria mixture for 45 minutes to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together and get nicely chilled.
- Add Fizzy Topping: Once chilled, top off the pitcher with cold ginger ale. Gently stir to combine the fizz with the fruit juices without losing carbonation.
- Serve and Garnish: Serve the mocktail in glasses filled with ice if desired. Garnish with fresh fruit slices, rosemary stems, or a cinnamon stick for an extra festive touch.
Notes
- This mocktail is perfect for holiday gatherings and can be enjoyed by all ages.
- Using no-sugar-added juices helps keep the drink lighter and healthier.
- Feel free to substitute ginger ale with ginger beer, sprite, or sparkling water based on your preference.
- Letting the sangria sit longer enhances the flavor infusion from the fruit slices.
- For a stronger fruit flavor, add more pomegranate arils or fresh cranberries as garnish.
