Virgin Sangria With Mixed Fruits Mocktail Recipe

I love making this virgin sangria mocktail because it brings together fresh fruit, different juices, and a splash of fizz. It turns out light, refreshing, and so colorful.

That makes it perfect for sharing with friends, or honestly, just enjoying on a lazy afternoon.

Equipment

I keep the tools simple—nothing fancy, just what I already have in my kitchen.

• Large pitcher or jug (at least 2 liters)
• Wooden spoon for stirring
• Sharp knife for cutting fruit
• Cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Citrus juicer (helpful, but not essential)
• Serving glasses
• Long-handled spoon or ladle
• Ice cube tray

A wide pitcher works best, honestly, because it lets the fruit float around and release flavor. I also like using a sturdy spoon so I can mix everything evenly without making a mess.

Ingredients

I like to use both fruit juices and fresh fruit so the drink feels balanced. Juices bring the color and sweetness, while the fruit adds texture and a fresh vibe.

• 2 cups red grape juice or white grape juice
• 1 cup pomegranate juice or cranberry juice
• 1 cup orange juice
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 1 cup sparkling grape juice or club soda (soda water or carbonated water is fine too)
• 1 apple, sliced thin
• 1 orange, sliced into rounds
• 1 lime, sliced thin
• 1 peach, sliced
• 1 cup strawberries, halved
• Ice cubes

Sometimes I swap in whatever fruit I have on hand, depending on the season. But I always keep some citrus and berries—they give the best kick.

Instructions

I usually prep the fruit first so it has time to soak up the juices. Once everything’s mixed, I chill it before serving.

• Wash all the fresh fruit well.
• Slice apple, orange, lime, peach, and strawberries into thin pieces.
• Toss the fruit slices into a large pitcher.
• Pour in the grape juice, pomegranate or cranberry juice, and orange juice.
• Add the lemon and lime juice.
• Stir gently with a wooden spoon to mix.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Right before serving, add the sparkling grape juice or club soda.
• Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the sangria mocktail over the top.

I like to serve it right after adding the fizz, since the bubbles are at their best then.

Notes

I’ve noticed the flavor really deepens if you let the fruit sit in the juice for a few hours. The apple and orange slices soak up all that goodness and taste even sweeter later.

If I want it lighter, I just add more soda water. For something sweeter, I go with sparkling grape juice instead of plain club soda.

This virgin sangria mocktail recipe is easy to tweak with whatever fruits you have. Sometimes I toss in pineapple chunks or extra berries if they’re around.

I do think keeping citrus in the mix is important—it balances the sweetness from the other juices. And I always serve it cold, with plenty of ice.

It just hits different on a hot day.

Tasting Notes

When I take a sip, the very first thing that hits me is this fresh burst of fruit flavors. There’s a mix of oranges, apples, and berries—honestly, it gives off a natural sweetness that’s light and just really refreshing.

The citrus definitely stands out the most for me. It’s got this bright, slightly tangy vibe that cuts through the sweetness from the other fruits.

I really like how the orange juice kind of melts right into the sparkling water. It’s not overpowering, just a smooth blend.

There’s also this gentle hint of tartness from the berries. That bit of tang keeps the drink from getting too sugary, and honestly, it makes each sip a little more interesting.

The texture? It feels crisp and clean, which I love. Those bubbles from the sparkling water make everything lively, and the little fruit pieces give a bit of chew—surprisingly, that’s something I look forward to.

I notice the flavors shift a bit with each sip, depending on which fruit I happen to get. Sometimes it’s juicy apple, then suddenly there’s a burst of strawberry.

That kind of variety makes this mocktail genuinely fun to drink.

Personally, I like serving it cold with ice. It just keeps the flavors sharp and extra refreshing.

Plus, the chill makes the whole thing that much more satisfying, especially if it’s a warm day.
