What is sangria?
Sangria is a traditional Spanish drink, usually made with red wine (though this is a white wine version!), brandy, fruit, and juice. The fruit soaks up the alcohol, leaving boozy bites of fruit and a lighter alcohol drink.
I made a non-alcoholic white sangria using several types of fruit juice for that classic sangria taste without any of the booze.
Why You'll Love this White Sangria Mocktail
- Alcohol-free - of course! It's a mocktail, so there's no alcohol at all. If you want to add alcohol I have several suggestions for additions below.
- Super easy - this drink takes less than 10 minutes to prep!
- Light & bubbly - Sparkling water keeps this drink crisp & refreshing
- Customizable - Add your favorite fruits for endless flavor combos
- Perfect for entertaining - Easy to batch for brunches, showers & parties
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Fresh Fruit: I used strawberries, oranges, lemons, and limes - bright fruits for a light, white sangria
- White Grape Juice: this is the substitute for the white wine. Look for white grape juice (instead of classic red) to give the white wine vibe. You could also use any other lighter colored juice like pear, peach, or pineapple. Or feel free to use a bottle of sparkling white wine
- Orange Juice: usually sangria has a juice or other sweetener - even though the base of this mocktail is juice, I still like adding the OJ to help create a deep flavor
- Seltzer Water: OR Ginger Beer OR Ginger Kombucha
- Fresh Mint: for garnish
Pro Tip: Freeze sliced fruit ahead of time to double as ice cubes that won't water down your drink.
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. Add the fruit to a large pitcher or punch bowl.
Step 2. Pour in the grape juice and orange juice and stir to combine. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Step 3. When ready to serve, top with the seltzer water. Garnish each glass with fresh mint or throw a few sprigs into the pitcher.
Pro Tip: Let the fruit steep longer (1-2 hours) for more intense sangria flavor.
FAQ & Expert Tips
Sangria is best when made in advance! Combine the juices and fruit a few hours ahead of time, then add the sparkling water just before serving.
White sangria is typically a little lighter than red, so think citrus fruits or lighter colored fruits (strawberries, peaches, apples).
Feel free to use whatever fruit is in season!
Yes! Try lemon, lime, or orange sparkling water for a fun twist.
I also love using kombucha instead of seltzer water. It gives an extra punch of bitterness like a wine would have - try ginger or lemon kombucha.
This sangria mocktail will last about a week in the fridge. The acid in the fruit and juice helps keep the drink fresh, but the fruit will start to go bad by the end of the week.
To add alcohol by the glass, I recommend adding a shot of brandy or your favorite liquor to each glass.
If you want to add alcohol to the entire pitcher you can replace the grape juice with a bottle of wine or add a cup or so of brandy to the pitcher when you mix the grape juice and OJ.
