Description
This fruity, refreshing sangria is ideal for summer holidays and backyard gatherings. It’s light, flavorful, and easy to make—perfect for sharing with friends and family.
Ingredients
Spindrift ice cubes (see instructions)
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ cup muddled strawberries
1/3 cup muddled blackberries
1 can grapefruit Spindrift
1 can strawberry Spindrift
1 bottle Rosé (optional) — about 4 tablespoons per drink if using
Instructions
Make the Spindrift ice cubes: pour Spindrift into an ice cube tray, filling each cavity about three-quarters full, and freeze until solid.
In a large pitcher, place the muddled strawberries and blackberries. Add the frozen Spindrift ice cubes on top of the fruit. Pour in the orange juice, lemon juice, and both cans of Spindrift over the ice and fruit, then stir gently to combine.
To serve, add a few Spindrift ice cubes to each glass and pour the sangria over them.
If you’d like alcoholic sangria, add Rosé to the pitcher after the Spindrift and stir. Alternatively, for both versions, pour about 4 tablespoons of Rosé into individual glasses before topping with the mocktail sangria. Serve chilled and enjoy.
