Virgin Sangria Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 apple, finely chopped
  • One lime, cut in slices
  • 1 lemon, cut in slices
  • 1 orange, cut in slices
  • fresh mint
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup cranberry
  • 3 cups red sparkling grape juice
  • Fresh raspberries, the juicer the better
  • Plenty of ice
  • If no sparkling juice, then add 1 cup of chilled sparkling water, and an additional 1/2 cup of grape juice, to keep it from being watered down.

Directions:

  1. Finely chop the apples, leaving their outside skin on.  Slice the lime, lemon, and orange, (peeled)
  2. Use a large glass or crystal pitcher.  Drop the chopped fruit into the bottom of the pitcher
  3. Top with orange juice, cranberry juice, sparkling red grape juice, and sparkling water if needed.  Stir well.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.  Time allows the flavors to meld together.

For serving, use a beautiful high ball glass. Fill each one with ice, decorate with a sprig of mint, and pour the sangria in.  Serve immediately.  Use some cute festive cocktail napkins to absorb condensation on the glasses.  Place on a large tray or serving tray with napkins on one side and drinks on the other.  Guests can help themselves. Enjoy!
