Non-Alcoholic Spiced Sangria Recipe

When it comes to sangria, most people’s minds go immediately to “sweet”. Sure, sangrias are loaded with plenty of fresh fruit and juice, meaning you’re going to experience a much higher sugar level than your standard glass of wine. But sangria doesn’t always have to be defined by its sweetness. In fact, during cold winter months, we prefer our sangria to be spiced.

 

Spiced wine drinks are plentiful, but it’s not often you’ll find a spiced sangria recipe that balances the sweetness of fresh fruit with a robust collection of spices, including cloves, black peppercorns, and cinnamon. But that’s exactly what you’ll find in our Non-Alcoholic Spiced Sangria Recipe.

 

Made using a bottle of rich YOURS Non-Alcoholic California Red Blend, this non-alcoholic spiced sangria recipe is one of the most popular recipes we’ve ever shared with our community. In fact, we’ve made giant batches of this alcohol-free sangria for the past few events we’ve exhibited at, and without fail folks come back for seconds, thirds, and even fourths…pleading with us to share the recipe!
