What Is No-Alcohol Sangria?

Traditional sangria is a wine-based drink flavored with fresh fruit. This kid-friendly version replaces the wine with a sweet and tart blend of pomegranate juice, grape juice, and sparkling red grape juice.

The result is a colorful, refreshing sangria mocktail with juicy pieces of fresh fruit in every glass. It looks elegant enough for a special celebration but is simple enough to prepare for a casual summer gathering.

Ingredients

1 large navel orange, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup pomegranate juice
4 cups grape juice
1 to 2 cups sparkling red grape juice, or enough to fill the pitcher

How to Make No-Alcohol Sangria

Place the bite-sized orange and apple pieces in the bottom of a large pitcher.
Pour the pomegranate juice and grape juice over the fruit.
Add enough sparkling red grape juice to fill the remainder of the pitcher—about 1 to 2 cups, depending on the size of your pitcher.
Stir the sangria gently, then cover and refrigerate it for at least one hour before serving. This gives the fruit time to chill and flavor the juice.
Pour the sangria into fancy glasses, spooning some fruit into each serving. Serve over fun-shaped ice, if desired.

Make It Extra Festive With Themed Ice

Fun-shaped ice cubes are an easy way to match this mocktail to a birthday party, holiday, baby shower, bridal shower, or themed celebration.

You can fill the molds with plain water, juice, or sparkling grape juice. If you use juice, the ice will add flavor instead of diluting the sangria as it melts.

These fun-shaped ice cube molds are an easy way to dress up every glass.

You can also freeze berries, pomegranate arils, or small pieces of citrus inside the ice for an extra-special presentation.

Tips for the Best Alcohol-Free Sangria

Chill the juice first. Starting with cold ingredients helps the sangria chill faster.
Cut the fruit into small pieces. Bite-sized pieces are easier to spoon into glasses and enjoy while drinking.
Wait to add extra sparkle. If you love lots of bubbles, reserve some sparkling grape juice and stir it in immediately before serving.
Use a clear pitcher. The deep red drink and contrasting green apple pieces create a beautiful presentation.
Serve it with a spoon. Keep a long-handled spoon nearby so guests can add fruit to their glasses.
Use juice-filled ice. Freezing juice instead of water prevents the drink from becoming diluted.

Easy Variations

This alcohol-free sangria is easy to adjust for different tastes and occasions.

Add more fruit: Try fresh strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, grapes, or sliced pears.
Add citrus: Include sliced lemon or lime for a brighter, more tart flavor.
Make it less sweet: Replace part of the regular grape juice with plain sparkling water.
Create a Christmas version: Add fresh cranberries, orange slices, and rosemary sprigs.
Make it for Valentine’s Day: Serve it over heart-shaped ice with fresh strawberries.
Create a patriotic punch: Add blueberries and star-shaped ice for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July.
Make it perfect for fall: Add thinly sliced pears, additional apples, and cinnamon sticks.

Can I Make Non-Alcoholic Sangria Ahead of Time?

Yes! Combine the fresh fruit, pomegranate juice, and regular grape juice up to 24 hours in advance. Cover the pitcher and keep it refrigerated.

For the most bubbles, wait and add the sparkling red grape juice shortly before serving. If you don’t mind losing a little of the carbonation, you can assemble the entire pitcher in advance and chill it for at least one hour as directed.

How Long Does No-Alcohol Sangria Last?

Store leftover sangria covered in the refrigerator for up to two days. The fruit will gradually soften, and the sparkling grape juice will lose its bubbles over time, so this drink is best enjoyed the day it is prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can kids drink this sangria?

Yes. This recipe contains no wine, liquor, or other alcohol, making it a fun party punch for kids and adults alike.

Is no-alcohol sangria gluten free?

The ingredients in this recipe are naturally gluten free. If you have celiac disease or are highly sensitive to gluten, check the labels on each bottled juice to confirm that the products meet your dietary needs.

Do I have to chill it for a full hour?

For the best flavor, chill the sangria for at least one hour. This gives the fruit and juices time to mingle. If you’re short on time, begin with thoroughly chilled juices and serve the drink over ice.

Can I use a different apple?

Yes, but Granny Smith apples add a crisp texture and tart flavor that balance the sweetness of the juices. Honeycrisp or Pink Lady apples would also work well.

What kind of glass should I use?

You can serve no alcohol sangria in wine glasses, stemless wine glasses, goblets, or any fancy glasses you have available. For children, consider using clear plastic party glasses so they can enjoy the fun presentation without worrying about broken glass.
