Notes

– Fruit Selection: You can choose a variety of fruits based on your preference and what’s in season. The combination of citrus fruits like oranges, peaches, lemons, cranberries, strawberries, and limes adds a zesty flavour, while berries provide a burst of sweetness.
– Juices: Opt for high-quality juices to enhance the flavour, like pomegranate juice. Freshly squeezed juices are the best, but if you use store-bought, look for juices with no added sugars or artificial ingredients.
– Sweetener: Adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup based on your taste preference. Some fruit juices might already be sweet, so you might need less sweetener.
– Sparkling Water: Adding sparkling water or club soda gives the mocktail a refreshing fizziness similar to the bubbles in traditional sangria. You can adjust the amount of sparkling water based on how bubbly you want the mocktail to be.
