Hot summer days call for cold drinks on the deck. Sangria is a refreshing and delicious way to cool off! Don’t want the alcohol? Then you’ve come to the right place!
What is sangria?
Sangria comes from Spain and Portugal and dates all the way back to the middle ages, when wine was safer to drink than water! Fruit and sweetener was added, and sometimes alcohol.
It was introduced in the U.S. during the 1964 World’s Fair in New York.
Since then it’s evolved into a variety of different wine punches – but it always has fruit and sparkling water or wine.
And now, with more and more people drinking less alcohol, there is a trend to the sober cocktails. And this one hits the spot!
Making Sober Sangria
This drink is so simple to make!!
Mix all the fruit juices in a pitcher and stir. Refrigerate to chill.
Slice up the fruit for garnish and store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
Serve by filling a glass half way with the juices and the other half with the sparkling water.
Garnish with frozen cranberries and sliced fruit. Add ice (I like the giant cubes – they chill the drink with less dilution).
                            Â
Now go sit on the deck and enjoy!

I like to use Trader Joe's cranberry juice. It's less expensive and we drink it straight in wine glasses. It's very dry like a red wine - delicious! (No, this isn't a paid advertisement, just my own opinion).Â
