Recipe Tips

The longer the fruit soaks, the better the flavor. Overnight is ideal.
Use seasonal fruit — peaches and berries in summer, pears and pomegranate in fall.
For a spiced version, add 1 cinnamon stick and 2 star anise to the pitcher while it soaks.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: Build the fruit and juice base in a pitcher up to one day ahead, then add ice and sparkling water immediately before serving.

Easy swaps: Use apple or white grape juice if red grape juice is too sweet for your taste. Use orange slices and berries when seasonal stone fruit is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make it a day ahead?

Prepare the fruit and juice base ahead, but add bubbles at service.

What fruit works best?

Orange, berries, apple, and grapes all work well in a sangria-style alcohol-free pitcher.

Is this very sweet?

It can be adjusted by using more sparkling water and less sweet juice.
