# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • No alcohol means everyone at your table can enjoy it, from kids to designated drivers, without anyone feeling like they're settling.
  • The whole thing comes together in 15 minutes, leaving you free to actually enjoy your guests instead of fussing in the kitchen.
  • It gets better as it sits, so you can make it hours ahead and let the flavors do the work while you relax.
02 -
  • Refrigerating for at least 2 hours isn't a suggestion—it's when the magic happens; trying to serve it cold but fresh misses the whole point of sangria.
  • Adding sparkling water at the last moment keeps it from tasting flat by serving time; if you mix it in early, you'll be serving flavored water instead of something sparkly.
03 -
  • Always taste the fruit before buying it; a beautiful-looking peach that smells like nothing will make a mediocre sangria, but a slightly ugly one that smells incredible will make magic.
  • Keep the pitcher covered in the fridge so the fruit doesn't oxidize and the flavors stay bright instead of turning dull and brown-tinged.
