Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups white grape juice
  • 1 cup pink grapefruit juice
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 750 ml bottle club soda (chilled)
  • 1 pink grapefruit
  • 1 orange
  • 1 apple

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing your base juices. Pour 4 cups of white grape juice and 1 cup of pink grapefruit juice into a large pitcher, then add 1 tablespoon of lime juice and stir to combine.
  2. Once mixed, refrigerate this juice mixture until you’re ready to serve. This step allows the flavors to meld together and guarantees your mocktail will be perfectly chilled.
  3. While the juices are chilling, prepare your fresh fruits. Slice the pink grapefruit, orange, and apple into thin, visually appealing slices.
  4. You can peel the citrus fruits first if desired, though keeping the peel on adds visual appeal and allows for easier handling when serving. Pat the fruit slices dry with paper towels to prevent excess moisture from diluting your mocktail.
  5. When you’re ready to serve, remove the pitcher from the refrigerator and add the chilled 1 (750 ml) bottle of club soda to the juice mixture. Gently stir to incorporate the carbonation without losing the bubbles.
  6. Add the sliced pink grapefruit, orange, and apple to the pitcher and serve immediately over ice in individual glasses. The combination of fresh fruit and fizzy club soda creates a stimulating drink similar to traditional sangria, with layers of fruity flavor in every sip.

Mocktail Substitutions and Variations

You can absolutely switch up this recipe to match whatever you’ve got on hand or what you’re craving that day. I’d swap the white grape juice for cranberry or pomegranate if I’m feeling festive. Orange juice works beautifully too.
Not a grapefruit fan? Try different fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or pineapple slices instead. I might use sparkling lemonade in place of club soda for extra tartness. Want something sweeter? A splash of honey works wonders. The beauty here is flexibility—there’s really no wrong choice when you’re experimenting with flavors you genuinely enjoy.
