Non Alcoholic Sangria Recipe

Ever since I visited Spain, many moons ago, I fell in love with sangria. It’s not the alcohol I used to love about it but the great assortment of fruit! But as I’ve given up alcohol a few years back I didn’t have the chance to enjoy a real sangria ever since. Until yesterday when I decided to make a non alcoholic sangria recipe!

This version is pretty similar to “the real thing” without the alcohol buzz which I don’t miss at all. This lovely recipe is so nice to sip on and/or to “snack” on the fruit. I used a lot of lemon and orange as I think citrus is the perfect choice for a refreshing summer drink.

I also added red grapefruit juice instead of the red wine in the original sangria recipe and I added a little rum extract to mimic the brandy. I opted for peaches to give the recipe extra sweetness and counterbalance the sourness in grapefruit and added cinnamon sticks for just a touch of spicy.

The fruit looks great and when steeped for several hours (I left them in the fridge overnight), they make this non alcoholic sangria recipe taste a thousand times better that the original version! If you prefer you can make this with alcohol, I’ll specify the proportions below.

Non Alcoholic Sangria Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 green tea bags 
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 1/2 to 1 cup sugar
• 3 cups fresh red grapefruit juice
• 1 cup fresh orange juice
• 1 tablespoon rum extract
• 1 orange, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 lemon, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 lime, sliced into thin rounds
• 1 medium apple, cored and cut into chunks or/and wedges
• 1 peach cut into wedges
• 3 cups carbonated or tonic water
• large pitcher

For the alcohol version add or replace these to the ingredients above, as specified:

• replace the fresh grapefruit juice above with 1/2 grapefruit, sliced into thin rounds
• add 1 750 ml bottle Tempranillo wine
• 80 ml brandy (I would opt for Hennessy or Courvoisier) instead of rum extract

Directions:

• Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and steep for 5 minutes.
• Discard tea bags and stir in sugar to dissolve.
• In a large pitcher combine tea, cinnamon sticks, grapefruit juice, orange juice, rum extract, orange, lemon, lime, peach and apple. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and preferably overnight. Just before serving, stir in carbonated water. Serve in glasses over ice.
