Low-Sugar Non-Alcoholic Summertime Sangria

The key to making a delicious and healthy, non-alcoholic sangria is to limit added sugars. By swapping out soda or juice for sparkling water, you can significantly cut down on unnecessary sugars. Make sure you read your labels. We’ve selected sparkling water with zero grams of sugar. We also picked seasonal fruits from the local market. Feel free to swap in your favorite stone fruits! Watch out for citrus like lemon and lime, which are highly acidic and can wear on your teeth’s enamel.

Ingredients:

Servings: 8-10

  • 12 ounces sparkling water (peach-flavored)
  • 12 ounces club soda or sparkling water
  • 8 ounces raspberry sparkling water (for coloring)
  • 3 cups ice
  • 1 peach or other stone fruit
  • 1 orange
  • 1 apple
  • Handful of cherries with stems and pits removed
  • Handful of blackberries

Party Tip! Double the ingredients in this recipe and let guests self-serve from a glass beverage dispenser.

Directions:

1. Rinse all your fruits thoroughly.

2. Chop the fruits into bite-sized pieces. Remove stems and pits from cherries. Peel the orange.

Chopping the fruit into bite-sized pieces allows for the juices in the fruits to be released into the beverage.]

3. Add three cups of ice to a large pitcher.

4. Pour in peach-flavored sparkling water, club soda (or sparkling water), and raspberry sparkling water.

5. Add in your chopped fruits. Stir carefully, allowing the fruits to saturate the liquid.

6. Refrigerate overnight.

7. Viola! You now have a refreshing, low-sugar sangria for the whole family.

Refrigerate overnight to let the fruit soak.
