Scale
Juices
- 2 cups no-sugar-added pomegranate juice (or cranberry juice)
- 3 ½ cups apple juice
Fruits
- 1 small orange, cut into thin pieces
- 1 lemon, cut into pieces
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup pomegranate arils (or a handful of fresh cranberries)
Fizz
- 4 cups cold ginger ale (or ginger beer, Sprite, or sparkling water)
Instructions

- Chill the mixture: Refrigerate the sangria mocktail for 45 minutes to 4 hours. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together.

- Feel free to substitute ginger ale with ginger beer, Sprite, or sparkling water depending on your preference for sweetness and fizz.
- Fresh fruit and herbs like rosemary or cinnamon sticks add a lovely aromatic touch to each serving.
- Allow chilling time according to your schedule; a longer chill enhances the flavor melding.
