Tips
Don't over-muddle the fruit or you'll create a cloudy, pulpy drink; gentle pressing releases juices while keeping chunks intact.
Chill all components before mixing and serve immediately for maximum carbonation and refreshment.
Good to Know
Refrigerate in covered pitcher up to 4 hours; fruit will soften and flavor will intensify over time.
Prepare fruit chunks up to 8 hours ahead in separate containers. Make sangria no more than 4 hours before serving to preserve carbonation.
Serve immediately over ice in chilled glasses. Garnish with fresh fruit. Serves 4-5 people as a refreshing drink.
Common Mistakes
Over-muddle fruit to avoid creating a cloudy, mushy-textured drink
Avoid adding wine until fruit is muddled to prevent crushing fruit directly in liquid
Don't let sit longer than 4 hours to avoid losing carbonation and having overly soft fruit
Substitutions
different tartness level

FAQ
Can I make this ahead for a party?
Prepare fruit chunks earlier in the day, but assemble the sangria no more than 4 hours before guests arrive to maintain carbonation. Add the wine just before serving for best fizz and flavor.
What if I don't have pure lime extract?
Substitute with fresh lime juice from about 1/2 lime, or use lemon extract or fresh lemon juice. The flavor will shift slightly but the drink remains delicious and balanced.
How long can I keep leftover sangria?
Cover and refrigerate up to 4 hours. The fruit softens and carbonation fades over time, so it's best enjoyed fresh. After 4 hours, drink the liquid and discard mushy fruit.
