Strawberry Basil Summer Sangria

Juicy strawberries, citrus, and basil unite in a refreshing alcohol-free beverage for summer celebrations.

# What You’ll Need:

01 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced

02 - 1 orange, thinly sliced

03 - 1 lemon, thinly sliced

04 - 1 lime, thinly sliced

05 - 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

06 - 3 cups white grape juice

07 - 1 cup sparkling water, chilled

08 - 1 cup club soda, chilled

09 - 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

10 - 1–2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey, to taste

11 - Additional basil leaves

12 - Sliced strawberries

01 - Place sliced strawberries, orange, lemon, lime, and basil leaves into a large pitcher.

02 - Pour in white grape juice and lemon juice, then gently muddle the mixture with a wooden spoon to extract flavors.

03 - Incorporate agave syrup or honey, if desired, stirring until fully dissolved.

04 - Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to allow ingredients to infuse.

05 - Right before serving, pour in the chilled sparkling water and club soda. Stir gently to combine.

06 - Fill glasses with ice, pour the sangria mocktail, and garnish each with basil leaves and sliced strawberries.

01 -

This mocktail is secretly a flavor explosion that makes guests question if there’s magic involved.
Every ingredient contributes to its cheerful, thirst-quenching personality that’s ideal for long evenings or brunches.

02 -

If you muddle the basil too aggressively, the mocktail can turn bitter—gentle pressure is your friend.
Letting the fruit and herbs sit together for at least an hour really enhances the flavors; skipping the chill means missing out.

03 -

Using both sparkling water and club soda boosts the drink’s texture and makes it feel more sophisticated.
For a rosé effect and extra fruity flavor, pink grape juice is a game changer—try it once and you might never go back.
