Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and slicing the orange, lemon, lime, and apples into thin rounds or wedges. Layer half of the orange, lemon, lime slices, and apples at the bottom of a 4-quart glass pitcher.
  2. Repeat the process with the remaining slices of orange, lemon, lime, and apples for even distribution.
  3. Carefully pour red grape juice, white grape juice, freshly squeezed orange juice, lemon juice, and lime juice over the layered fruit.
  4. Using a long spoon, stir the mixture gently to combine the juices and fruit without breaking the fruit slices.
  5. Cover the pitcher and place it in the refrigerator. Allow the Virgin Sangria Mocktail to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor infusion.
  6. When ready to serve, add sparkling apple cider or plain seltzer to the mixture gently again to maintain the bubbles.
  7. Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the chilled Virgin Sangria Mocktail over the ice, ensuring each glass receives a good mix of fruit slices.
