Ingredients
4 cups 100% red grape juice (Concord preferred)
2 cups sparkling mineral water or ginger ale
1 large orange, thinly sliced into wheels
1 lemon, thinly sliced into wheels
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (optional)
Fresh mint sprigs for garnish
Ice cubes
Instructions
Step 1: In a large glass pitcher, combine the sliced oranges, lemons, strawberries, and blueberries.
Step 2: If using honey or agave, whisk it into a small portion of the grape juice until dissolved, then pour all the grape juice over the fruit in the pitcher.
Step 3: Stir gently to mix the fruit and juice, then place the pitcher in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 to 60 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4: Just before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water or ginger ale and stir very briefly.
Step 5: Fill glasses with ice and pour the red grape mocktail sangria style pitcher, ensuring each glass gets a good portion of the infused fruit.
Step 6: Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and serve immediately.
Notes
For a drier taste, use a splash of balsamic vinegar or pomegranate juice to mimic the acidity of wine. Ensure the sparkling water is added last to maintain carbonation.
