Ingredients

1 bottle non-alcoholic red wine (see note 1)
2 oranges (or blood oranges)
20 black grapes sliced
15 blackberries or blueberries
3 cinnamon sticks
1 red apple sliced
2 cups sparkling water or ginger ale (optional)
2-4 tablespoons maple syrup (optional - see note 2)
Extra fruit for garnish (optional)

US - Metric

Instructions

Place fruit and cinnamon sticks in a pitcher or punch bowl. Pour in the red wine, stir gently and place in the fridge for 2-4 hours. The longer the sangria is left to mull, the stronger the fruit and spice flavor will be.
When you're ready to serve, stir the sangria again and add the sparkling water or ginger ale (if using). Stir very gently - don't disturb those bubbles too much!
Taste the sangria and add some maple syrup if you wish. See note 2 below.
Pour over ice into glasses and garnish with additional orange slices, cinnamon stocks and fruit (optional).

Notes

Note 1: I find a non-alcoholic Merlot or Shiraz is the best for this recipe, but any red wine will work.

Notes 2: Depending on the sweetness of the wine and your own preference, you may want to add some maple syrup to this recipe. I recommend completing up until the end of Step 2, then tasting the sangria once you have added your sparkling beverage of choice. Use a small spoon the taste the mocktail, then add a tablespoon of maple syrup and stir gently if you want a sweeter drink. Keep going this in one tablespoon increments until you reach your desired level of sweetness.

Note 3: if you want to make a smaller serving or make this mocktail for 1, simply reduce the serves by clicking the '6' in the recipe card above and select the amount of serves you want to make. Use a small pitcher or glass to mull the sangria. This recipe works best when making at least 3 servings.
