Recipe Tips for Sangria Mocktails
- Remove the orange slices from any leftover sangria before storing. When left to float in any liquid, citrus fruits will start to impart a bitter taste after many hours. If you have leftover sangria, or made a pitcher to have on hand (smart!), either take out the orange slices before you store it in the refrigerator or use the orange slices in your serving glasses and keep them out of the pitcher altogether.
- Add ice to the glasses, not the pitcher. Unless you're going to serve the entire pitcher immediately, add ice to the individual glasses instead of the pitcher. This will keep it from melting in the pitcher and watering down the entire batch of non-alcoholic sangria mocktail.

FAQs and Substitutions
Don’t have any fresh ginger on hand to make the ginger syrup? Swap it out for ginger beer or ginger ale. If you don't like ginger flavor, you can use lemon-lime soda in place of the ginger syrup. (Note: Like its root beer cousin, ginger beer does NOT contain alcohol.)
What makes it sangria is the wine, which I wouldn’t recommend adding to this. If you’re looking for a great alcoholic sangria recipe, try my white wine sangria or apple cider sangria. Both are delicious and would be great at a party alongside this alcohol-free red sangria.
Because this red sangria mocktail is full of fizz, try to make it as close to serving as possible. Otherwise your drink will fall flat and not be as delicious. Unlike traditional sangria, we’re not using fresh fruit to impart flavors - we’ve got juice for that! - so it doesn’t need the usual 3-4 hours to infuse.
