Description

This Halloween Mocktail is a festive and refreshing non-alcoholic sangria perfect for parties or cozy gatherings. Combining non-alcoholic red wine or pomegranate/grape juice with fresh fruits and warming cinnamon sticks, it offers a spooky yet elegant punch. Optional sparkling water or ginger ale adds a bubbly touch, while maple syrup lets you adjust sweetness to taste.


Ingredients

Scale

Mocktail Base

  • 1 bottle non-alcoholic red wine OR 4 cups pomegranate or grape juice

Fruits and Spices

  • 2 oranges (or blood oranges)
  • 20 black grapes sliced
  • 15 blackberries or blueberries
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 red apple sliced

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 cups sparkling water or ginger ale (optional)
  • 2-4 tablespoons maple syrup (optional)
  • Extra fruit for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruit and Cinnamon: Place the sliced oranges, black grapes, blackberries or blueberries, red apple slices, and cinnamon sticks into a large pitcher or punch bowl.
  2. Add the Base Liquid: Pour in the bottle of non-alcoholic red wine or 4 cups of pomegranate or grape juice over the fruit and cinnamon sticks. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Mull the Mocktail: Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to infuse. For a stronger fruit and spice flavor, mull for up to 2 to 4 hours.
  4. Add Bubbles: When ready to serve, stir the sangria again gently and add 2 cups of sparkling water or ginger ale if using. Stir very gently to maintain carbonation.
  5. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mocktail and add maple syrup in 1 tablespoon increments up to 4 tablespoons as desired for sweetness. Stir gently after each addition.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Pour the mocktail over ice into glasses and garnish with additional orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and extra fruit as desired.

Notes

  • Non-alcoholic Merlot or Shiraz varieties work best for authentic flavor, but any red wine or red grape/pomegranate juice is fine.
  • Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted to taste after the sparkling water or ginger ale is added to avoid over-sweetening.
  • This recipe is ideal for at least 3 servings. To make a single serving, reduce ingredient quantities proportionally and use a small pitcher or glass for mulling.
