This non-alcoholic sangria recipe utilizes tart cherry juice, hibiscus, and a generous amount of alcohol-free cocktail bitters to recreate the depth, structure, and tannic bite of red wine—without the alcohol or next-day hangover. Hibiscus tea provides color and backbone, while tart cherry and grapefruit supply the juiciness of a delicious sangria. A trio of non-alcoholic bitters brings the complexity and lingering finish you’d expect from this drink.

Optionally, we love to add a shot of Three Spirit Livener—a caffeinated, non-alcoholic spirit with spicy red-fruit character—for an extra kick of wine-like intensity. The result is refreshing and bright, with enough grip to sip slowly, making it a sangria mocktail that drinks like the real thing.

Recipe Note

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Many non-alcoholic sangria recipes lean sweet and juicy, while this one utilizes hibiscus tea, tart cherry, grapefruit, and three styles of bitters to mimic the structure and balance of wine. That balance—fruit, acid, and bitterness—is what keeps this sangria mocktail from drinking like punch.

BATCHING SANGRIA FOR PARTIES

This recipe is ideal for batching, especially if you’re serving a crowd and want a non-alcoholic sangria pitcher ready to pour. To batch, simply scale all ingredients except the sparkling water, combine in a pitcher (without ice), and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours before serving. When guests arrive, pour into wine glasses, add ice, and top each glass with a splash of sparkling water.

Here's an easy recipe that you can use to pre-batch 10 servings of this sangria mocktail:

20 oz hibiscus tea

10 oz grapefruit juice

10 oz lime juice

2.5 oz lime juice

2.5 oz agave nectar

2.5 oz All The Bitter Spiced Cherry

2.5 oz All The Bitter Orange Cardamom

2.5 oz All The Bitter Old Fashioned Aromatic

To serve, pour just over 5 ounces of the batched sangria in a wine glass filled with ice, top with a splash of sparkling water, and garnish.

Pro tip: grab a bottle of Three Spirit Livener and let guests add it themselves for an extra kick of flavor and a touch of caffeine.

USING BITTERS IN NON-ALCOHOLIC SANGRIA

Wine has a complex flavor that juice or tea alone can’t match, and non-alcoholic sangria needs an equivalent source of depth. This recipe relies on a generous amount of bitters: ATB Spiced Cherry for tart fruit and spice, Orange Cardamom for brightness and lift, and Old Fashioned Aromatic for tannic structure and the baking-spice character of oak aging. Together, they deliver the layered complexity of wine—without any alcohol.
