A crisp, refreshing green-apple sangria inspired by Olive Garden—sweet moscato meets tart Granny Smith, pineapple, and a splash of bubbles. Built in a pitcher and chilled so the fruit flavors meld beautifully.

Instructions
Pour the moscato wine into a large pitcher.
Stir in the green apple syrup and pineapple juice until well combined.
Add the orange slices, green apple slices, and strawberries.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Just before serving, add club soda or sparkling water and gently stir.
Fill serving glasses with ice and pour the sangria over. Garnish with a few fruit slices.
Notes
Granny Smith apples keep the drink bright and tart. For a less sweet version, use a drier white wine and reduce the syrup; for a stronger apple note, add a splash more apple pucker. Chilling a couple of hours intensifies the fruit flavor.
