Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 cup mango cubes
- 1 orange, thinly sliced
- 1 kiwi, thinly sliced
- 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved if desired
Juice Base
- 2 cups natural grape juice
- 1 tablespoon natural apple cider vinegar
- 1–2 tablespoons natural agave syrup (optional, adjust to taste)
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
- 1 cup sparkling water
- Fresh mint leaves (for infusion and garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fresh Fruits: Wash all the fruits thoroughly. Cut pineapple and mango into bite-sized cubes, slice oranges and kiwis thinly, and halve grapes if desired. Having uniform fruit sizes will ensure easy mixing and an attractive presentation.
- Mix the Juice Base: In a large pitcher, combine natural grape juice, a splash of natural apple cider vinegar, and natural agave syrup if you prefer your drink slightly sweeter. Stir gently until all the syrup is incorporated and the flavors meld together beautifully.
- Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Lightly sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the juice mixture while stirring continuously to achieve a light, silky texture. Allow it to rest for a few minutes for smooth integration without clumping.
- Combine Fruits and Juice: Add the prepared fruits and fresh mint leaves to the pitcher. Pour in the sparkling water and gently stir the mixture to combine all the juicy flavors and refreshing bubbles evenly.
- Chill and Serve: Place the Tropical Fruit Sangria Mocktail in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let the flavors marry and chill nicely. Serve over ice cubes for an extra refreshing experience, garnished with a sprig of mint or a fruit slice on the rim.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe fruits for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust sweetness with agave syrup and tang with apple cider vinegar to suit your palate.
- Chill the mocktail before serving to let flavors blend and intensify.
- Add sparkling water just before serving to keep bubbles fresh.
- Stir gently to avoid bruising fruits and preserving their texture and taste.
