Step by step

Make it like a pro.

About 7 minutes hands-on plus a 30-minute refrigerator rest.

  1. 01

    Wash and dice the apple; peel and seed the orange. Weigh 40 g of each edible fruit and cut into bite-size pieces.

  2. 02

    Combine the fruit with both measured juices in a covered jug. Refrigerate for 30 minutes so the fruit and juice chill together.

  3. 03

    Transfer all the fruit and juice to a large 500 mL glass with the measured ice. Add sparkling water slowly and stir gently. Serve with a spoon so the fruit is eaten as part of the serving.

Easy swaps

  • Replace 40 g apple with 40 g firm pear for a different fruit texture, using a matching food reference.
  • Use plain still water instead of sparkling water for a flat fruit punch; the other amounts stay the same.

Mixpert tips

  • Cut fruit small enough to eat comfortably from the glass; do not leave inedible peel or seeds in the batch.
  • Add carbonation after the refrigerator rest so the drink keeps its bubbles.

Virgin Pomegranate Sangria FAQs

Does virgin pomegranate sangria contain wine?

No. Its tart base is 100% pomegranate juice plus orange juice. No wine, alcohol-free wine or bitters are required.

Should I eat the fruit in this virgin sangria?

Yes. The reference includes all 40 g apple and 40 g orange pieces as consumed ingredients. Leaving them behind changes the nutrients actually consumed.

Can I make the sangria base without sparkling water?

Yes. Chill the fruit and juice first, then choose still water or sparkling water at serving. Carbonation is a serving texture, not a reason to blend or shake the finished drink.
