How to make sangria with mineral water

There’s no need to schlep all the way to Spain for a pitcher of sangria when you can easily make it at home with a few simple ingredients. And while some recipes for the popular summer drink call for fruit juices or even carbonated beverages, we prefer to make ours with mineral water for a slightly lighter (and still refreshing) sip.

Not only does mineral water add a bit of effervescence to the sangria, but its clean taste lets the fruit and wine flavors shine through. And since we’re using a quality red wine, we don’t want to cover that up with anything too sweet or overpowering.

So whether you’re planning a summer party or just want a pitcher of something refreshing to sip on over the weekend, try this recipe for mineral water sangria. Cheers!
