Whip up a batch of this flavorful (no added sugar) sangria for your next get-together—it’s a party in a pitcher! You can either buy store-bought pomegranate juice and a separate package of seeds, or purchase a whole pomegranate and dissect; it will produce up to 2 cups of seeds. As for the wine? I tend to make sangria with Pinot Noir, since it contributes a light, sweet and smooth taste. Pro tip: I typically prep this recipe a day beforehand (minus the sparkling water) and store it in the fridge overnight to let the flavors mingle.

  • Prep time
  • Total Time
This recipe makes 12 cups
Ingredients:
  • 1 bottle (750 ml) red table wine
  • 1 cup pomegranate juice
  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds (plus more for garnish, optional)
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 red apple, sliced
  • 3 cups strawberries, sliced
  • ½ to 1 cup chilled sparkling water
Preparation:

Place the fruit in a large pitcher. Add wine and pomegranate juice. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for about 6 hours, or overnight (so the fruit has time to incorporate all the delicious juice and wine flavor). When you’re ready to serve, pour Sangria into glasses and top each glass off with a splash of chilled sparkling water and an optional sprinkling of pomegranate seeds, if desired. Stir and enjoy.
