Vibrant Pomegranate Sangria Recipe Tastes Like a Sip of Summer
A triple dose of pomegranate gives this drink a fruity kick — and a splash of lemon-lime soda makes it sparkle
When it comes to finding the perfect summer beverage, I always want something that’s refreshing while also delicious. Typically, the fruitier the flavors, the better the taste for me — and that’s why I love a classic sangria. There’s so many different fruit or add-in options depending on the season, and our Pomegranate Sangria recipe is a sweet summery sip you don’t want to miss!
We use white wine as the base, but pomegranate is the real star of the show. Seeds, juice and liqueur all come from the fruit, so you know you won’t be missing any flavor! This recipe is certainly delicious enough to drink a glass and go back for another. Plus, all you have to do is combine all the ingredients and stir to your liking. What could be easier? Also, you can swap the wine and liqueur out for more juice and a sparkling cider if you want to turn this into a mocktail. However you make it, let us know how it turns out!
