EASY NON-ALCOHOLIC SANGRIA RECIPE

Tips for making the best Alcohol-Free Sangria

• Plan ahead to give the fruit at least 1-3 hours to marinate in the sugar and fruit juice. It tastes even better if this is done overnight.
• To keep your sangria cold without watering it down, freeze a few orange or lemon slices and add them to the pitcher before serving.
• You can make different versions to suit your taste like adding other aromatics like ginger and cloves, or other combinations of fruit that include tropical varieties or berries.

How long does Sangria last in the fridge?

We recommend keeping any leftover Sangria in the fridge for no more than 48 hours. If kept any longer, the fruit and wine will oxidise and start to turn into vinegar.

To add another week or two to your Sangria, remove all the solid fruit pieces from the mix and freeze the liquid in an ice cube tray. The ice cubes can be defrosted in a glass to be enjoyed on another occasion.

What other fruits can you use for Sangria?

There is no hard or fast rule when it comes to what fruit or spices to use in your Sangria. While citrus fruit, like oranges and lemons, work well with crisp green apples and juicy pears, you could mix things up with different types of berries, or tropical fruit including pineapple, mango or kiwi fruit. The possibilities are endless, so use what you have on hand or what's currently in season.

What kind of wine is best for non-alcoholic Sangria? 

The best wine to make Sangria is one with low tannins and high acidic content. McGuigan Zero Pinot Noir Alcohol Free and McGuigan Zero Red Blend Alcohol Free are both great choices for making a non-alcoholic Sangria. The McGuigan Zero range is crafted just like our other wines but has an extra step to remove the alcohol at the end of the production process. The varietals included in the McGuigan Zero range are a delicious alcohol-free alternative to your favourite wine, and as an added bonus, they are also lower in calories, sugar and are gluten free.

Soft and supple, this wine has a red fruit-driven palate with a light sour cherry finish. The blend of fruits complemented with a hint of spice and high acidic content makes it the perfect wine to create a delicious and aromatic mocktail Sangria.

With aromas of plums and blackcurrants complemented by mocha and spice aromas, the generous sweet fruit palate of this non-alcoholic wine also works as an excellent base for a mocktail Sangria.

Having an inclusive selection of beverages at your next social gathering is a considerate touch. Our McGuigan Zero wine range includes five delicious, rich and full-flavoured non-alcoholic varietals that overcome the outdated notion that not drinking is boring.
