FAQ
Q: Can I make this sangria ahead of time?
A: Yes, this sangria actually tastes better the longer it sits! You can make it up to a day in advance and refrigerate it. Just be sure to add the sparkling water or club soda right before serving to keep the fizz.

Q: Can I make a larger batch for a big party?
A: Absolutely! Simply double or triple the ingredients as needed, and serve it in a larger punch bowl for easy serving.

Q: Can I add a splash of alcohol for an adult version?
A: If you’d like to turn this into an alcoholic sangria, feel free to add red wine, brandy, or rum to taste! Just remember to adjust the proportions for your preferred alcohol strength.

Q: Can I use frozen fruit?
A: Yes! Frozen cranberries or pomegranate seeds work great and even act as natural ice cubes, helping to keep the sangria chilled. Just make sure they’re not thawed when you add them to the pitcher.
