NOTES

1. What sparkling wine works best? Cava is a great choice because it is crisp and dry. Any dry sparkling wine will work.
2. Can I use different fruit? Yes. Nectarines, grapes, berries, or extra melon are good options. Choose fruit that keeps its shape.
3. Why add the sparkling water at the end? It keeps the sangria bubbly and fresh.
4. Can people eat the fruit? Yes, but keep in mind that the fruit absorbs alcohol as it sits.
5. Storage
  • Store the sangria base in the refrigerator before adding the sparkling water and cava. After the sparkling water, wine and ice are added, serve the sangria soon for the best flavor and bubbles.
