Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, gather ‘round! So, first things first, you gotta hit the grocery store. Here’s the scoop:

– 4 cups sparkling apple cider (the fizzy kind, duh!)
– 1 cup apple juice (lightly spiced because we want those cozy vibes)
– 1 cup pomegranate juice + a dash of bitters (seriously, don’t skip the bitters—just trust me)
– 1 cup orange juice + some zest (because who doesn’t love a pop of citrus?)
– 1 cup mixed fresh fruits (grab whatever looks good—apples, oranges, berries, you name it)
– 1 cup club soda or sparkling water (more bubbles, more fun!)
– And don’t forget fresh mint leaves for that fancy garnish 💚

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Let me tell you about the first time I made this stuff. I was having friends over for a “chill night” (read: we ended up dancing in the kitchen 🤪). Anyway, I wanted to whip up something fun but also not make a total mess of my kitchen. So I threw together this sangria, and it was a HIT. Like, my friend Sarah literally said, “If this was a person, I’d marry it.” 😂 Now, every time someone says “let’s hang out,” my brain screams, “SANGRIA TIME!”

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, here’s the game-changer: chill it! Like, seriously. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This isn’t just for looks; it makes all the flavors mingle, and you get this magical explosion of taste. I mean, who wouldn’t want that?

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

So, I’ve made this sangria a few times (ahem, more like a LOT), and here’s what I learned the hard way:

1. Don’t skimp on the fruits. More fruit = more flavor. Duh.
2. Remember to add the club soda right before serving. I once mixed it all up beforehand and it was a fizzy disaster. Like… bubbles everywhere. Not cute.
3. If you want to get fancy, use a fun glass! I mean, it’s all about the vibes, right?

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you somehow have leftovers (which like, good luck with that), store the sangria in the fridge but make sure to keep the club soda separate. Otherwise, it’ll go flat, and nobody wants sad bubbly drinks. Just keep the fruit in the mix, but the fizz should hang out on its own until you’re ready to sip again.
