Ingredients
Scale
Juices and Liquids
- 2 cups no-sugar-added pomegranate juice
- 3 ½ cups apple juice
- 4 cups cold ginger ale
Fruits
- 1 small orange, cut into thin pieces
- 1 lemon, cut into pieces
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cut into small pieces
- ¼ cup pomegranate arils
Instructions
- Combine juices and fruit: In a large pitcher, pour in the pomegranate juice and apple juice. Add the thinly sliced orange, lemon pieces, small apple pieces, and pomegranate arils. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
- Chill the mixture: Place the pitcher in the refrigerator and let the sangria mocktail chill for 45 minutes to 4 hours. The longer it sits, the more the flavors will meld together and intensify.
- Add carbonation: Once chilled, top off the sangria with the cold ginger ale. Stir gently to mix without reducing the fizz.
- Serve and garnish: Pour the mocktail into glasses over ice if desired. Garnish with fresh fruit slices, rosemary stems, or a cinnamon stick for a festive touch.
