Virgin Cranberry Basil Sangria

December 24th, 2024 Drink of the Week

Virgin Cranberry Basil Sangria

Adding a whole lot of chopped fresh fruit and mint leaves to this mixture takes it to the next level of flavour! This would be great to make if you were hosting, a jug of this on any table would make the whole meal more festive. Quantities and fruits are only suggestions, mix it up however you like. For example, you could use fresh basil leaves instead of mint, add frozen cranberries if you can get them or slice up a fresh lemon or lime.

Ingredients:

1 litre cranberry juice
Juice of 2 oranges (about 1 cup)
750ml fizzy water
1 orange, cut into 1 cm slices with the peel on, then cut each slice into quarters
1 apple, cut into small cubes with the skin on
Fresh mint leaves
Fruity coconut water ice cubes 

Method:

In a large jug, combine cranberry juice, orange juice, and fizzy water. Add fruit and mint and stir to combine. 

Pour over the fruty coconut water ice cubes.

Enjoy!
