SANGRIA
The next cocktail in the row that caught my eye is this non-alcoholic sangria. In a time span of just 20 minutes, you will get a super refreshing drink for the hot summer days. The traditional Spanish Sangria is made of wine, fruits, and sweeteners. This time we are giving the alcohol a pass, and we are embracing a more healthy alternative. Blend white grape juice and the blueberries and pour the mixture into a jar. Then add the lime and orange juice and mix it well. Next, get a glass container, fill it with ice, and add the liquid mixture and the fruits (chopped). Put it in the fridge for a couple of hours before consuming.
Ingredients:
4 cups white grape juice (1 l)
1/4 cup blueberries (40 g) + 3/4 cup blueberries (120 g)
1 cup orange juice (250 ml)
Juice of 1 lime + 2 limes
2 oranges
2 bananas
2 peaches

You have already learned the first step right? Add ice to the glass. Then add some sparkling water and margarita mix. Don’t skip the garnishing because it adds a special vibe to the drink.

The best thing about this drink is that you can use the whole watermelon as a tasty refresher and a drink dispenser. And it’s very easy and simple to make. All you have to do is to blend the watermelon in a food processor and mix it with lime juice. If you are in the mood for a little bit of alcohol feel free to add vodka, if not just skip it. Your drink will be super tasty and refreshing either way. Put the mixture into the watermelon dispenser, add tons of ice and ginger ale.
