• Chill time: 1-2 hours (or overnight for best flavor)

Notes

• Sweetness Level: Moscato is naturally sweet, but if you prefer a less sweet sangria, you can adjust the amount of Apple Pucker or pineapple juice.

Storage/Reheating

This sangria is best enjoyed fresh and chilled, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The fruit will continue to infuse the sangria, making it even more flavorful over time.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of wine instead of Moscato?

Yes, you can use any white wine you prefer, such as Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay. Moscato is a sweeter wine, so switching to a dry white wine will make the sangria less sweet.

Can I make this sangria ahead of time?

Yes, this sangria actually tastes better if you prepare it a few hours ahead of time to let the flavors meld together. Just make sure to keep it chilled!

Can I add more fruits to the sangria?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with different fruits like pineapple chunks, peaches, or even berries. The more, the merrier!
